Hi there,
I just purchased a PH517-61 in like new conditions for $1100, I tried to install 2 M.2 HP Nvme 512GB driver and the laptop would have a black screen for a few seconds just to lock on the predator logo.
Then I tried 2x Samsung Evo 970, the laptop would boot right away but could not changed the bios to Raid configuration.

Could some one shine some light on this issue, is M.2 Port 1/Port 2 Nvme compatible?

Also does this laptop comes with a Sata cable for 2.5" drives?

Thank you.

Ps Bios 1.08 is installed.

    One is m.2 sata |(on the left side think is hhd1) other is Nvme compatible(on the right HHD0). My one didn't work even with 2x sata m.2. Worked only with sata - Nvme combination.
