QuestionI want to put a extra 4t hard drive into my 595-p0074 but I am not sure the power supply can take it. 180w is a very small unit for what it is suppose to do. Can I add my Drive to the computer?
Asked 7 years ago by RevLogoth.
- Answer I asked this question. Hoping HP would answer me here. Well 4 days calling and loads of transfers later. I have found out that. this computer is not able to take a extra HD, Video card, Or even the max ram the board says it can handle. The Power supply is way to small for the system as it is.

QuestionHey I would like to upgrade my computers graphics card (the one I’m asking a question on) and would a RX-550P4SFGR fit in this? Like replacing it
Asked 6 years ago by Nate.
- Answer It looks like it will just about fit into this desktop. Just be sure to upgrade the power supply also. The graphics card requires minimum 350 watts. The desktop has 180 watts. If you need further assistance, I would recommend reaching out to a blue shirt in the computer department or a Geek Squad member at Best Buy.

QuestionWhen transferring a photo to D drive it stayed in the photo file and the copy in D had a different presentation. What happened? How do I transfer to increase memory available in C?
Asked 6 years ago by Jim.
- Answer Not knowing which drives have been assigned which numbers, the 128GB SSD is where you will install programs but not store files. The 1TB HDD is for file storage. You can add another hard drive or use an external hard drive if you need more than the 1TB storage. You should be able to simply drag and drop or copy and paste files to create backups.

Questioncompared to the 590-p0053w, what advantage does the 595-p0074 have other than the ssd ? i'm just an average user that watches a lot of videos.
Asked 6 years ago by jay.
- Answer The 595-p0074 features a solid state drive, whereas the 590-p0053w features Intel Optane memory. Optane memory is used as a flash storage accelerator, aimed at increasing the performance and efficiency of the hard drive, but it is not as fast or efficient as a solid state. Between the two, the 595-p0074 is a better value long term.
