Does the Packard Bell EasyNote TS44HR Take an NVMe SSD?
Packard Bell EasyNote TS44HR
Every one of 34 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 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 6 port Mobile SATA AHCI Controller
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller
- Drives seen:
- Apacer AS350 256, Samsung SSD 860, WDC WD5000LPVX-2
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%)
- 320 GB (29%)
- 240 GB (21%)
- 640 GB (7%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.
How we know
This answer is derived from 34 independent hardware reports for the Packard Bell EasyNote TS44HR, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
