hp pavilion x360 14-dh0024ur M.2 support

[Kunozaa]

Hello, i  want to change the SSD of my hp pavilion x360 14-dh0024ur because im lack of storage.

Originally has a MTFDHBA256TCK-1AS1AABHA 256GB M.2 drive.

What type of M.2 i could buy? NVME or SATA?

Kingston SSD NV2 NVME 500GB is my first option.

Thanks.

Hi:

That should be no problem.

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates that HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 512 GB in the model series.

Your notebook's M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.

A PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD will work fine too but it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from a Gen 3.0 SSD slot.

Thank you Paul_Tikkanen

I bought it, Kingston SSD NV2 NVME 500GB but is not detected in Windows 10 installation, neither in the BIOS.

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately, I don't know what the problem could be.

The drive part number you removed indicated it was a NVMe SSD based on a search:

Micron MTFDHBA256TCK-1AS1AABHA - 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe 2280 MLC 3D-Nand SSD Solid State - CPU Medics

Was the drive you removed a NVMe or SATA SSD?

I see another drive that shows it has two notches, and it also indicates the drive is NVMe but normally, drives that have two notches are SATA.

If the drive you removed indicates it is a SATA SSD on the label, then the service manual must be incorrect and only SATA SSD's are supported in the notebooks with the Intel Pentium Gold processors.

One notch

The Kingston drive you bought should have worked then, and unfortunately I don't know why Windows can't find the drive.

I tested the Kingston drive and it works, i formatted as GPT, but my x360 still can't detect it in the BIOS, neither in Windows Installation.

I can confirm original drive:
