Can I insert a non-SSD drive in place of SSD in a laptop?
#2
Hi grr,

Sure you can replace it or add one. From the product specification I can see the notebook has M2 SSD drive (or at least a port to plug one). In case your currently installed 128GB SSD is on that M2 slot (M2 SSD is a board only, there's no enclosure) you can keep it and add an extra HDD next to it. So you can boot the OS from the fast SSD and use the extra HDD for data storage. That would be the best solution. I've found some info and descriptive images here:

You can see the M2 SSD and the HDD on the bottom left side on this photo:

From the HP EliteBook 840 G2 Notebook PC Datasheet that you provided on page 2, Internal Storage section you can also see that "320GB upto 1TB SATA (7200rpm)" is supported. 

Looks like a great notebook to me.

Good luck! Smile
