Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My laptop name is HP Pavillion Gaming - 15 - ec0101ax and i has 8gb ram and 1tb hdd installed and my question is that it is very slow so i wanted to install one ssd also in it so i was thinking to buy one samsung 500gb evo sata ssd so will it be compatiible or not as hp support said that 256gb is the most i can install for dual configuration. So, 500gb or 256gb which will be compatible.

Hi, @Suyash201 

 

If you want to use a SSD along with the existing hard drive, you can install a 500 GB NVMe M.2 SSD in the empty M.2 slot.

 

You would want something like the Samsung 980.

 

Amazon.in: Buy Samsung 980 500GB Up to 3,500 MB/s PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Driv...

 

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types.
