ask about M2 slot on my envy laptop

[gaby1155]

Good Morning,

I would like to add an M2 SSD to my laptop to be the main disk for my pc for performance reason.

Product name:HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC

Product number:E7Z50UA#ABL

I would like to know if the M2 slot on the back of the laptop is SATA based or PCI-Express.

Thank you.

Just want to make sure.

You do have an Intel CPU???

How much memory do you have installed.

I think you could use a 1TB SSD but you would need to replace it with the drive you have installed now???

thank you.

I am asking of 1 TB because in the manual they put only 512GB SSD max on page 5, you think it should work also the 1TB

like: Samsung 850 Pro Series 1TB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-7KE1T0BW)

should work on my laptop?

 MANUAL: page 5

That you could say is the basic guidlines that they tested.

We have seen many go with larger HDD's than what is in the manual.
