Product: HP Elitebook 2540p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, 

have a laptop HP Elitebook 2540p with a native 1.8 inches HDD in (I think this interface is called Micro SATA), the HDD is a Toshiba MK2533GSG.

 

I would like to use a SSD in this laptop and it looks like 1.8 inches SSD are quite unusual and expensive.

 

Any solution?

 

Is there a cable that will let me use a 2.5 inches SSD (even externally considering it won't fit inside the laptop)? I suppose this cable should be male Micro SATA (interface of the laptop) to female SATA (interface of the 2.5 inches SSD).

 

I hope what I said makes sense 🙂

 

In addition, are there any electrical power incompatibility or the cable will let everything work?

 

Thank you
