Does the Hewlett-Packard Pavilion TS 11 Take an NVMe SSD?
Hewlett-Packard Pavilion TS 11
Every one of 28 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 16h Processor Root Complex
- Drives seen:
- Samsung SSD 860, ST500VT000-1DK14, WDC WD5000LPVX-6
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
Capacities seen
- 500 GB (43%)
- 250 GB (36%)
- 120 GB (14%)
- 320 GB (7%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.
How we know
This answer is derived from 28 independent hardware reports for the Hewlett-Packard Pavilion TS 11, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
