Does the Hewlett-Packard 18-5600br Take an NVMe SSD?
Hewlett-Packard 18-5600br
Every one of 5 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 [IDE mode]
- Platform:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 16h (Models 30h-3fh) Processor Root Complex
- Drives seen:
- ST500DM002-1BD14
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
How we know
This answer is derived from 5 independent hardware reports for the Hewlett-Packard 18-5600br, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
