HP Recommended
Product: Z Book 14 G2
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I’m hoping to speed up my Z-book a bit and have already maxed out the RAM so now i'm looking at the HDD.

I currently have a 1TB HDD and nothing in the M2 slot.  I've looked at buying a compatible M2 and have so far been sent a 2.5", a 2280 and a 2242 - all of which the seller said was compatible but none of which fits my slot, so they have all been returned.

 

I now believe I need an M2 2260 PCIe (not SATA) with a max size of 256GB but after making such a fist of it so far, I thought I better check first - could anyone confirm this spec is correct?  Can I only use the HP Z turbo drive, no cheaper alternatives?  Can I only use a max of 256GB?

 

As you would imagine I'm getting a bit frustrated with the process so far, so any advice would be gratefully received.
