Does the Hewlett-Packard Laptop 14-bs0xx Take an NVMe SSD?

Hewlett-Packard Laptop 14-bs0xx

Every one of 70 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:
Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series SATA Controller
Platform:
Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series SoC Transaction Register
Drives seen:
WDC WD5000LPCX-6, ST500LT012-1DG14, TOSHIBA MQ01ABD1

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 (50%)
  • 120 GB (30%)
  • 500 GB (10%)
  • 240 GB (10%)

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

How we know

This answer is derived from 70 independent hardware reports for the Hewlett-Packard Laptop 14-bs0xx, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
