hp envy x360 m6-aq103dx SSD compatibility - Confused

[Atila80]

Hello to all, hope to find you all well, if possible I would like your help, as I am looking to upgrade my laptop hp envy x360 m6-aq103dx, to optimize the performance, I was looking for  a M.2 SSD and found a good deal on a Kingston  500G NV1 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD;   As I found different answers in the community all help is welcome;  regards,

Hi:

It is hard to interpret what the service manual is telling us.

HP Envy x360 m6 Convertible PC (model numbers m6-aq1XX and m6-aq0XX) Maintenance and Service GuideIM...

If you look at chapter 1, page 3, it lists the supported M.2 drives for the model series.

Solid-state drives:
Support for: 256-MB, M2.2280,solid-state drive supporting triple-level cell (TLC)

128-MB, M2.2280, SATA-3, solidstate drive

If you look at chapter 3, page 18, item 13, and google the part number for the first drive, it is a NVMe SSD.

847109-003

847109-003 - Search (bing.com)

The second one is described as SATA, so no need to look that one up.

That leads me to believe that the  m6-aq1xx model series' M.2 slot can support both SATA and NVMe SSD's.

However, I cannot be 100% sure of that.

This screenshot from the same model indicates that there is a M.2 slot, even if your notebook came with a 2.5" drive.

Its specs

Looks like your machine does not support dual storage. You can upgrade 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA to faster 2.5" SSD.

Hello Banhein, 

Thank you for your reply, but is still not clear to me weather it's possible to use the SSD as a Dual? as you can see the post just before yours, another member Paul_Tikkanen mentioned exactly what I was pointing out which is in the Manual in the link you provided  on page 3, you can see compatibility with M.2 memory,  if possible would you mind explaining what would that be? Appreciate your help
