It should be noted that this laptop does NOT come with a PCI-E SSD (nVME). It's a M.2 SATA III SSD. There's a huge difference between nVME and SATA III. The SSD this comes with is a Sandisk X400, with has a max sequential read/write speeds of 540/520 MBps. nVME (PCI-E) SSDs are closer to 2600 MBps for reads and 1600 MBps for writes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yep. That should work. I upgraded mine immediately with a 1TB Samsung 2.5in drive without any issues. The only thing I would check for is to see if there is already an HDD installed in that drive bay. Some models come with the HDD already installed, while others come with the PCI-E SSD. So I would suggest popping the bottom off and checking which you have before buying the HDD.
