i don't think so
iirc they only support PCIe
no support for NVMe or SATA protocols on the m.2 slot
best way to find out for sure is to get the HP part number of the supported m.2 drive and see what that is, i am pretty sure its just an older pcie m.2 without nvme support
if so then maybe the 2nd hand market is your best bet as finding a new one is probably too hard / expensive
But NVMe SSD is M.2 PCIe. It's the same thing. I've never heard of M.2 PCIe which doesn't support the NVMe protocol. It's always been the standard for M.2 PCIe.
Apparently the HP Elitedesk 800 G1 mini does support M.2 PCIe NVMe, but it can only be used for as a storage drive. Can't boot from it. It must be a set BIOS limitation that there's no boot support. Some one successfully used the Samsung 950 Pro 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD with it but as a storage drive only. You need to either in the BIOS settings disable secure boot configuration or set the BIOS to UEFI Only in order to be able to use it.

@ihfree @hollykryten
When M.2/PCI-E SSD's just started hitting the market, BIOS support for the NVME protocol was limited. Therefore, on some of the older motherboards, it was not possible to boot from an NVME drive as the BIOS support was not present. However, once Windows is started and the appropriate drivers loaded, the drive would be usable.
A side note - there were M.2 drives with AHCI support (and no NVME support) in these early days https://www.quietpc.com/samsung-m2-ssds
They still sell m2 SATA drives. For example, this WD blue:

If you did want to use an NVME drive on an older machine, there are ways around it, though, they likely are not practical for most users. I have previously modified the BIOS of an older machine to enable booting from an NVME SSD on a PCIe adapter card.
There are also bootloaders that you can put on a USB to work around it when a machine's BIOS doesn't have support for NVME.
Should have mentioned M.2 PCI-E AHCI drives, not SATA. If you see my link, it's clearly stated as an AHCI PCI-E 2.0/3.0 compliant drive and in an M key pin layout. Whereas your link is M.2 SATA with B+M key pin layout.
@jammy2006: Ahh very interesting. I've never seen those before. I had assumed incorrectly that AHCI meant SATA.
Yeah ok. Means it will be ok to use as a storage drive or for some Steam gaming. Just can't use as a boot drive.
on a desktop mini? lol
Ps5?
Definitely not. Speeds are too low and PS5 doesn't support Gen 3
Thanks
not OOS. just grabbed one
oos
OOS. Price has gone up to $112
Only available in QLD stores and only for click and collect by the look of it
On available from 3 stores in QLD
Too limited to be a deal
ordered one at West Ryde store, then became OOS
WD black 1TB gen 4 7000MB/S drive was 149 delievered on prime day so this is 40% cheaper but its only a gen 3
Is this compatible with ASrock Z370 extreme 4 mobo?
The lack of 2tb pcie 3.0 drive deals, 1tb is the opposite of a sweet spot imo, 500 is a good deal but 1tb is often more than half the price of 2tb
Will this work in a HP Elitedesk 800 Mini G1 pc?
