The BIOS shows what drives are present vs what connections are available. The one I'm working on showed SATA 0 had the SSD drive, SATA 1 was the DVD Drive, and M.2 was empty.
Yes so you can put either a 2.5" SSD drive or a M.2 NVMe Drive. NVMe is a lot better and faster and about the same price so I would recommend using that!
@@computerspecialist8533 I'm going to put the nvme in and reinstall there and use the slow drive for extra storage.
That will work! Feel free to sub our channel for future videos!
I have the same laptop - although mine did come with 128GB Nvme drive as well as the 1TB HDD. I swapped out the SSD for a larger 512 SSD as soon as it arrived. I am thinking of swapping out the HDD for a 2TB SSD.
At the same time as I upgraded the SSD, I also I tried to replace the single 8GB RAM module with two 16GB chips. When I tried to turn the computer on after installing the new RAM, it would not start. I tried several times, doing a boot cycle both with and without the battery installed. For some reason, after about 10 tries, the laptop booted into the BIOS and showed the new memory. This is something I have never experienced before with memory training.
We usually let it sit for awhile when it does that. One time it took over 5 minutes and several reboots to configure the new memory. Also reseating is a normal fix. We had a few we had to reseat 3 to 4 times before it showed!! Glad you got it up and working!
