Question about HP ProBook 4 G1i
Can a 2nd SSD be installed with this device? Which is the right dock?
Helpful answer
Short answer:
No - the HP ProBook 4 G1i usually only has a single M.2 NVMe SSD slot. This means you can replace the existing SSD (e.g. with a larger M.2 NVMe SSD), but there is no second slot for an additional SSD ex works.
According to the official HP specifications, the device uses a single M.2 NVMe SSD that acts as internal storage.
There is no document (e.g. maintenance manual/service guide) confirming a second SSD slot or internal drive bay for additional 2.5" SSD/HDD.
If you need more storage, you will need to replace the existing SSD with a larger NVMe SSD
(M.2 2280). → You may need an SSD cloning tool to back up/transfer data beforehand.
Note: Replacement or upgrade SSDs must have the correct M.2 2280 NVMe format and be thin enough to fit into the laptop case.
Which dock fits the HP ProBook 4 G1i?
Since the ProBook 4 G1i does not have a proprietary dock connector interface on the bottom (only USB-C/Thunderbolt-capable ports), USB-C docks are the right choice. Ideally, the docking station should support USB-C with Power Delivery (PD) and Display Alt Mode to enable power, external monitors and peripherals via one cable.

Sorry, I'm not sure about that. You'll have to ask HP.
No idea, I'm not a PC professional. I use the HP G5 Universal Dock.
