Does the Hewlett-Packard 15 TS Take an NVMe SSD?

Hewlett-Packard 15 TS

Every one of 18 field reports observed SATA storage rather than NVMe.

That is useful evidence about the reported machines, but it does not prove that every configuration lacks an NVMe slot or that the installed SATA drive is 2.5-inch rather than SATA M.2. Check the service manual, connector, dimensions, and current drive before ordering.

Field reports can’t tell us whether the SATA drive is a 2.5-inch bay or a SATA M.2 slot, nor which M.2 length fits — check the service manual before you buy.

Reported by field data

Storage controller:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
Platform:
Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT DRAM Controller
Drives seen:
HGST HTS541075A9, ST500LT012-1DG14, HGST HTS545050A7

Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.

Capacities seen

  • 1 TB (33%)
  • 750 GB (33%)
  • 500 GB (33%)

Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.

How we know

This answer is derived from 18 independent hardware reports for the Hewlett-Packard 15 TS, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
