I have an HP Elite Tower TP01-2147C tower desktop computer. It came with a 1TB hard drive and a 256 GB SSD. I want to replace the hard drive with greater capacity. I do not know if there is a capacity limit for the replacement drive. I have an 8TB and a 14TB and a 4TB drive. Will any of them be ok as long as the physical size fits the bay?

@GMAN47,

 

Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

In theory, there is no hard storage ceiling for your desktop for either M.2 NVMe SSD or a SATA III drives.

 

The 4TB and 8TB HDDs should work A-OK plug-and-play, the 14TB may work if your desktop has driver support to deal with storage indexing and such.

 

My suggestion: plug it in and try it out.  No harm done: it will either work or it won't.

 

Kind Regards,
