Hello friends

I want to put SSD drive to my notebook and i can't find information anywhere about available ports on my motherboard for that connection. Does my laptop support connection M2 PCIe interface or just M2 SATA -III? Or neither?

@Trust_Me , welcome back to the forum.

 

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the laptop.  In Chapter 6, Removal and replacement procedures for authorized service provider parts, Page 44, is a list of compatible M.2 SSD's.  As you will see, there are SATA and PCIe models.  I like Samsung SSD's because they seem to work best with the HP BIOS.

Im allready read all this manual, but there is no answer to my question. Whether specifically my laptop supports  M.2 PCIe or not - is unknown. Honestly, I'm shocked at the terrible quality of the HP documentation.

I need a specification document specifically for my model. But he, judging by everything, simply does not exist.

Thank you for your attention to the question, in any case.
