[Sanjeev53]

Hi there, my computer have

512 GB Intel@ PCle® NVMe™M

M.2 SSD memory, I need more storage 

I want to upgrade it. Are there any options available for 1TB or 2 TB? Which is compatible, and how much does it cost?

Hi:

Chapter 1 of your notebook's maintenance and service guide indicates that HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 1 TB in storage capacity, so you can at a minimum, install a 1 TB drive.

Since your notebook has one of those Intel drives with an Optane memory cache, before you install a different drive, you will need to turn off the Intel Optane memory in the IRST software and if there is a BIOS setting for it, you need to disable it there too.

See this link, last two sections for how to disable the Optane memory.

A 1 TB NVMe SSD such as this one is pretty reasonable.

If you want a 2 TB SSD then this one should be fine.

If you want the same type 1 TB Intel drive that HP installed, it will cost you a fortune when it comes back in stock.

Although this place sells it for much less.

So the user manual mentioned that up to 1 TB memory, I want to use 2TB; other hardware supports for that? or do I need to change others too? 

I appreciate your kind suggestion in advance.

You're very welcome.

Generally, the drive capacities listed in the manual are just what HP offered in the model series, not the maximum capacity supported.

You should be able to install a 2 TB NVMe SSD in your notebook.

For example, the Crucial report for your notebook shows they offer NVMe SSD's up to 4 TB for your notebook's model series.
