Product: Pavilion CK063TX
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just bought the laptop recently, and I'm planning to upgrade to an SSD. 

https://shopee.com.my/Western-Digital-Green-120GB-240GB-2280-M.-2-WD-SSD-(WDS120G2G0B)-i.58359596.10...

 

The above link is for the SSD I'm planning to buy which is WD Green 120GB 2280 M.2 SATA SSD. How do I know if it is compatible for my laptop?

But to get things clear, in order for the SSD to be compatible with my laptop, it needs to be M.2, SATA with TLC, 2280 form factor, am I right?

And the 120GB storage wouldn't be an issue even when the laptop's manual says it supports 128GB, am I right?

I thought my post stated that quite clearly.

 

You will quickly discover that with a Windows OS, a 120 GB SSD is very low capacity. I wouldn't use less than a 256 GB SSD.

 

Otherwise, after installing a few programs, you will find that you will quickly run out of space.

That SSD that you have asked about is not compatible with your notebook.

 

Your notebook's BIOS is compatible with the followng M.2 SSD specifications.

 

M.2, SATA solid-state drive with triple level cell (TLC)

M.2, PCIe, NVMe solid-state drive with TLC memory.

 

The form factors need to be 2280

 

Click on the Service and Support Media resources link at the bottom of this post to access information that you will need to have to make an informed upgrade decision.

 

Before purchasing an SSD, ensure that the slot for the SSD is present.  Some notebooks are delivered without the slot present, depending on the configuration  that they were purchased with. Click on the the Part Locator --> Solid state drive to see where the slot should be. If the slot is not on the systemboard, then an M.2 SSD will not be a viable upgrade for your notebook.

 

You will need to open the base enclosure to do that. Click on the FRU Remove\Replace  and click on Base enclosure to see how to remove the base.

When I looked at Western Digital Green M.2 SSD I did not see that in the available marketing information and specifications.

 

Where is that stated?

 

It is also not stated on the web page you linked to that describes the SSD.

 

Here are the specs for the SSD you asked about. There is no mention of TLC on the specifications page at all.

I'm quite new to SSDs I'm sorry for my sluggishness.

And I'm just planning on installing my OS on the SSD and a few important programs. It would be sufficient enough for a student like me 🙂

Thanks btw!
