Does the Hewlett-Packard mt41 Take an NVMe SSD?
Hewlett-Packard mt41
Every one of 9 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:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 15h (Models 10h-1fh) Processor Root Complex
- Drives seen:
- SanDisk SSD U100, WDC WD3200BUCT-6
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 9 independent hardware reports for the Hewlett-Packard mt41, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
