Will this fit a HP Desktop AMD Ryzen 5-series? Currently has 250GB and I would like to expand the storage null

Question

ClearwaterHandyman · Accepted Answer

To me these are operating system drives and not data storage drives where many re-write cycles are required.  I prefer a mechanical drive for data that changes frequently since those support more re-write cycles before that portion of the drive needs to be blocked off as unusable therefore reducing capacity.

These should fit but might need a 2.5" to 3.5 inch adapter such as the Insignia Model:NS-PCDSSDM
SKU:6500521 available from BestBuy for less than $10.  I would use this drive to replace the boot drive for more room to load software and then add a second mechanical drive for pictures, documents, videos, etc, etc.

Unfortunately, the 870 EVO is not compatible with the HP Desktop AMD Ryzen 5-series, you will need a M.2 SSD and not a SATA SSD.
