@mnmcommerce,

 

Your model only comes with a 2.5" SATA slot and M.2 slot.

HP ProBook 645 G4 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide

 

A mSATA disk physically doesn't fit in the M.2 slot, so it's not possible to install a mSATA internally in your notebook.

 

You can connect a mSATA to your notebook via a USB to mSATA adapter.

usb to msata adapter - Google Search

 

More info about mSATA (see the photo of mSATA, M.2 SSDs and 2.5" SATA).

What is an mSATA SSD (mSATA Solid-State Drive)?
