I have the HP Pavilion 590-p0057c Desktop PC PN 3LA35AA. I’m getting ready to buy a 500 GB SSD to use as a boot drive to get Windows 10 loading faster. Trying to verify that it will properly connect into the motherboards M.2 socket, I think it is Gen # 3? 2280 type/length.
HP’s website is almost useless on this. it only showed “One M.2 socket 3, 2280 type for SSD”. I think this should take a type NVMe “M” vertically mounted card? I’m not really clear as to where this plugs in on the motherboard either? Is this a PCIe slot? X4?
I do not want the slower SATA type card if i can avoid it!
Can you help me with this?
The 2280 M.2 sits between the DIMM slots and front I/O ports. It’s different from the PCIe slots.
It should support PCIe SSDs based on the fact that others models that use the same motherboard are equipped with an NVMe drive in stock config.
