HP Recommended
Product: Pavilion g6-2006ax
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I want to upgrade from a HDD to a SSD, is it possible with my notebook and if so which SSD's would be compatible? Is there any read / write speed limitations to consider etc? 

 

here's the link for the my notebooks product specifications

 

I have searched google using many different phrases but haven't been able get any confirmation for this, the best I found was a manual under user guides for the g6-2006ax on the HP website, HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide  that labels the HDD bay a "solid-state drive (SSD)/hard drive bay" (page 25)  but when i continue to read on it only lists various Intel CPU's (page 31)  while my notebook has an AMD A6-4400M CPU, when i read further down the list to the hard drives it list only various HDD's with no mention of SSD's (page 32)  through out the whole .PDF except in the labeling of the HDD bay so this has left me very unsure and confused.

 

If someone could shed some light on this for me it would be greatly appreciated
