Does the Hewlett-Packard EliteBook 735 G6 Take an NVMe SSD?
Hewlett-Packard EliteBook 735 G6
NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.
- Reports
- 12
- Saw NVMe
- 92%
- Fastest link observed
- PCIe Gen2 ×4
The fastest link we saw in real machines was PCIe Gen2 ×4. That is a floorobserved in field reports, not the slot’s ceiling — a faster drive still works because PCIe is backward compatible; it simply runs at the slot’s speed.
Field reports can’t tell us the physical connector, how many slots are empty, or which M.2 length fits. Check the service manual and the installed drive before you buy.
Reported by field data
- Storage controller:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
- Platform:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Raven/Raven2 Root Complex
- Drives seen:
- Silicon Motion SM2263EN/SM2263XT (DRAM-less) NVMe SSD Controllers, Intel SSD 660P Series, MAXIO (Hangzhou) Ltd. MAP1202 (DRAM-less)
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 12 independent hardware reports for the Hewlett-Packard EliteBook 735 G6, of which 92% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
