Hello all.
Just bought an HP 820 G1 laptop into which I've installed an SSD in the usual 2.5" slot. All fine, and new Win 10 installed and working smoothly.
I'd like to add a second SSD storage and the specs suggest it should take an M.2 format. I've just stuck that into the only place that I can see that'll take it, but I cannot get it to be recognised.
Could folk confirm this is where it's meant to go, please? And how to get it working. (I've tried two different cards in there, but now't).
There is a similar-looking space for a 'Flash cache' card, but I'm guessing that's for some sort of buffer if a spinning HDD were fitted or something? Anyhoo, the M.2 wouldn't physically fit in there (so why make it so bludy close in design...?)
The slot I ended up using has no markings, but the card did fit perfectly - after I moved these two wire ends away (what are these for?).
Thank you.
