    Hi lads, I have a,

    HP Pavilion Power Desktop 580-0xx Device name DESKTOP-LT6SM59
    that's needs a bit of a boost and I was thinking of adding a SSD.
    However, I cant figure out if it can take M2 drive or not. The PC is maybe 3 years old, but I can not seen anything on the motherboard to take a Sata M.2 or NVMe drive.
    The only connection I can see is this.

    Just get a SATA SSD drive, you wouldn’t notice difference anyway.

    Was about to post the same, if it doesn't have an SSD already it's highly unlikely it can take an M.2 or an NVMe, and the speeds you'll get from a SATA SSD will likely be comparable.

    Aye something in that format, shop around and do some googling to find the best bang for buck.
