Hi:

Your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports SATA M.2 SSD's only, not NVMe.

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types:

There is an M.2 slot. It accepts only SATA M.2 2280 form factor, not NVME. M.2 slot in blue rectangle

So my laptop has two storage slots? one for SATA HDD and one for SATA M.2 SSD?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

That is correct.

Thanks a lot for providing me with the information.
one more thing is that, i have an empty ram slot too that supports DDR4 ram.
and i am planning on adding 8gb DDR4 ram to that slot. but the problem is i don't know of which bus speed RAM i should buy.

You're very welcome.

Your notebook's i5-7200U processor can run the memory at a max speed of 2133 MHz, but usually most of the time folks install a DDR4-2400 memory chip because they are easier to find.

The DDR4-2400 memory will automatically bridge to 2133 MHz.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

You have a great day too!
