    Hi guys,

    I recently bought a HP probook 430 G1 laptop.

    It came with a standard 500GB 5400RPM HDD. I want to upgrade it with an SSD.
    Obviously I have the standard option of a 2.5" SSD, but I know that this laptop has an empty slot, which should be an M.2 slot, according to its manual. Also, i know that one of the options when buying it is to buy it with an M.2 120GB SSD.
    If so, I guess that it is possible to buy an M.2 drive.
    However I'm a bit afraid that it won't work. Do you guys have experience with this laptop with M.2 SSD,a nd can tell me for sure that this option WILL work?

    Thanks!
