Just bought this computer for my son. I was hopeful based on the design that it possessed a M.2 Slot for SSD drives and it does! The slot only fits a M.2 - 2280 stick because there is only one mounting screw port present. I have included some photos to show everyone what is underneath. I placed a M.2 PCIe SATA Crucial MX300 275GB stick in the M.2 slot and it recognized and boots on the drive with no problem. The motherboard recognizes the drive as SATA 1 with SATA 0 being the 2.5 1TB drive that came with the computer. So I now have the 256GB drive running the OS and the 1TB drive that came with the computer (2.5inch WD Slim drive) as a storage drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Any 2.5" SSD will be compatible with this laptop. I prefer the SAMSUNG 850 PRO line because they have a nice 10 year warranty to them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Pull original HDD out. Look at sizes of SSD that are the same dimension as the original HDD. Usually just a matter of thickness with laptop HDDs. Most are 2.5 size with varying thickness like this one. Some ultra cheap/small/light use a whole different kind of Hdd that isuch smaller or soldered to the main motherboard ^ | | Not ours
