OMEN by HP 45L Gaming Desktop PC GT22-0000i (393C6AV)

I have an HP Omen 45L and I'm trying to install a 4TB M2 PCIe Gen 4 SSD. The reason for this is I'm trying to move all my PC games from my HDD to the new SSD because of performance and M.2 is newer, better, faster technology. I've contacted HP support on numerous occasions about this and they've told me different things. Some HP support agents informed me I could install a 4TB  M.2 SSD in the vacant PCI slot and other HP support agents said my PC has a 2TB storage limit. So which it is?Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you. My specs are as follows: 

 

 

OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11 

MOTHERBOARD: HP 8917 

CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700K, 3600 Mhz,12 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s)

GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 (10 GB GDDR6X dedicated) with LHR

RAM: HyperX 16 GB DDR4-3733 MHz XMP RGB Heatsink RAM (2 x 8 GB)

EXPANSION: 1 PCIe x16; 1 PCIe x4; 3 M.2 (2 for SSD, 1 for WLAN)

POWER: 800 W 80 Plus Gold certified ATX power supply

Unfortunately, no one can give you an exact answer which is why you get differing opinions.

 

One of the HP reps may know that a 2 TB NVMe SSD was the maximum capacity storage drive HP offered in the model series.  That doesn't mean that anything more than 2 TB won't work.

 

If you look at the Crucial SSD report for the model series, it shows that they sell 4 TB NVMe SSD's for it, so maybe that's where the other rep got the info from.

Theoretically the sky's the limit as long as the SSD is single sided.

 

There aren't any programs that you can run that will report the information you want to know, so my recommendation to you is: if you want to install a 4 TB NVMe SSD then go for it.
