Welcome to HP Forums,

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

 

I see you need help in the SSD usage, on HP Notebook - 15-bs180tx notebook. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you.

 

After reading your post, I did go through the Product specifications of your product and found that you have 2 TB 5400 rpm SATA hard drive installed on the PC.

 

Next thing, I would suggest here is to go through the Maintenance and Service guide of your HP notebook, and found that your PC supports M.2 slot for the solid-state drive.

 

To get the answer to this question, Yes you can use SSD as an external storage device with an SSD case.

 

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need any further assistance.

If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below,
Followed by clicking on "Accept as solution" from the drop-down menu on the upper right corner,
