2TB HDD's in a 2.5" form factor is possible.

and whats the max size nvi size i can add
You mean an M.2 drive?

Everything said here still holds true;
I you can't see it;
1| The slim drive you speak of is for a 2.5" drive, you would be best served by dropping an SSD in there.
2| The connector will go on the white latch at the top of your image near where the audio port is(in your 3rd image).
3| You should be able to drop in and capacity M.2 SSD but you will need a screw to hold down the M.2 drive.

Your SKU for the laptop seems to be off, I can't find a manual for an hp 145-fg0060na, can you check to see what the sticker under your laptop says?

hi when I said size I meant capacity of both drives, I have a spare 1tb SSD, but if I cant find the right connector to use, do you know what connector I need, what's the max capacity of m.2 drive, I have searched the HP site and there's no info there,
thanks
