upgrade your laptop hard drive

[DavidVirag]

Hi,

I'm looking to increase my laptop hard drive capacity. I know that I have a free slot to place an extra hard drive or SSD in to my laptop. 

My question would be that what type of SSD or HD can I purchase to put into my laptop?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your notebook:

HP Pavilion - 15-ec0000nh Product Specifications | HP® Support

Your notebook comes with a 512 GB NVMe SSD.

Your options would be to:

Remove the 512 GB NVMe SSD and install one having a greater storage capacity.

Your notebook has support for one 2.5" drive, so you could install a 2.5" SSD or mechanical hard drive.

There is a plastic dummy filler where the hard drive goes that you will have to remove and install the hard drive/SSD in its place.

Below is the link to the service manual:

Thank You for your quick respond.

as i'm not an expert, so I would go further and ask you specifically the one ssd what I'm planning to buy.

KINGSTON SA400 belső 2,5" SSD meghajtó, SATA3, 500/450 MB/S, 960GB (SA400S37/960G)

Can you confirm that the mentioned ssd would be compatible for my laptop?

I'm extremely grateful for your help!

You're very welcome.

Yes, that drive should work fine in the 2.5" drive bay.

Another model you may want to consider would be this one if you can get it in Hungary:

It costs a little more, but it has faster read/write speeds and 40 GB more of gross storage space.
