my Hp notebook laptop have m.2 slot how to check if it support nvme pci-e gen4

[thatguypeter]

The M. 2 port is way faster then the SSD with 4 channels running because it's bottle necked at the SATA port.  The M. 2 is not bottle at all.. It's wide open even running on one channel.. Go on you tube and there a guy that has a video explaining it very well on SSD VS M. 2

You should see a serious speed different on the M. 2 VS SSD.. Mine just turn on and it's almost instant boot with the M. 2 setup.. Everything is super faster and responsive too.

Hi,

If the M2 slot is present on your motherboard (you need to check first as sometimes notebooks that did not come with M2 slot are missing the physical slot) then you can only use M2 SATA3 SSD as we can see on page 3 of service manual:

Hope it helps,

Hey, 

OK.. Here is my best assessment of your laptop.. I DON'T think your laptop has an PCIe slot. The PCIe slot use the NVME M. 2 stick for the drive. The M2 SATA drive just used the regular SATA port for the 2.5 drive whether it's SSD or regular SATA..

The NVME M. 2 is the size of a gum stick and it's Port is very small with one notch in it. The NVME Samsung 970 stick will fit this port..

I am pretty sure your laptop doesn't support PCIe port for the NVME drive. I didn't see anyone listing this portkn the spec.. Just M2 for the SATA port only and this is way different then the PCIe one.

Hi,

In my answer i wrote will only run M2 SATA3 SSD which means it will not run a PCIe NVMe SSD.

Do you live in the USA???

Even better would be if you lived in St. Petersburg,  Fl.

I have some extra NVMe 256GB.

The NVME will not work for his laptop..since it doesn't support a PCIe slot...

@alhasan2016.

Well we are off till next Monday.

On Monday let me see if I can get one of the warehouse guys to find a unit so I can end this.

I know it should not work but being me sometimes I just have to see it myself.

I'll let you know how things go.

Bis dann REO
