Hi:
Your notebook has one M.2 NVMe SSD slot.
There are no options to install a second NVMe SSD or a 2.5" hard drive.
See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive configurations:

AFAIK your HP 830 G5 has only one slot for its M.2 solid-state drive (2280).
There is no HDD inside of your laptop.
Laptops that are 15" and smaller rarely have space inside to add a second disk.

Hi!
The option for 2.5" SATA storage was present up until the 820/840 G4 generation, then unfortunately HP considered it obsolete and completely removed it. So 840 G4s did in fact have dual storage. Therefore, Paul_Tikkanen EXPERT Level 21 is correct that this generation of the Elitebook 830s lacks any kind of option for second storage.
