My Laptop model is 15S-gr0010AU and serial no. [Personal Information Removed]. I would like to know if I can install SSD in this laptop model. If yes which SSD i should buy. Please advise and help

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

Chapter 1 has the supported drive types.

According to the manual your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's.

I recommend the Samsung 980 (not 980 Pro).

Thanks for saving my day as I was bit confused in choosing the right SSD for this laptop. Just one question can this SSD (Crucial P2 500GB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD- CT50P2SSD8 ) will work on my laptop rather than go for Samsung 980.

You're very welcome.

The Crucial P2 would work just fine, but it has considerably slower sequential read/write speeds than the Samsung drive has.

so i was searching for Samsung 980 SSD so come up with 500GB and 250 GB variant.....any idea for this particular Laptop where would be SSD slot and also please let me know if I need some kind of cable as well to connect this SSD

Hi:

If you look at the illustration in chapter 3, page 32 of the service manual, you can see the location of the M.2 SSD slot with the SSD installed.  Right above the battery where that #3 with the arrow is.

No cable is required but the drive will need a Phillips M2.0 × 2.5 screw that secures the drive to the computer.

Your PC may have one included, it may not.

God Bless you too and have a great weekend!

Hi Paul,

Sorry for bothering you again but again there is doubt came to buy the right SSD. does my laptop support SATA M.2 SSD or N.V.M.E M.2 SSD bcoz in the manual i am not getting which is the right SSD socket

Hi:

Chapter 1, page 2 of the manual indicates that NVMe M.2 SSD"s are supported.

So are SATA.  PCIe = NVMe.

Primary storage PCIe, NVMe, M.2 2280 solid-state drives
1 TB, PCIe
512 GB, PCIe
256 GB, PCIe
128 GB, SATA-3, TLC
