Hi:

 

I'm pretty sure that limit is just what HP offered in the model series.

 

I have much older HP business desktop PC's than yours (dc7800, 8000 Elite, 8200 Elite, 6200 Pro) and they all have 2.5" SSD's larger than 128 GB and they all work just fine.

 

In order for the SSD to work as the boot drive, you will need to connect it in the SATA port the 1 TB HDD is currently connected to.
