OMEN MAX Gaming Laptop 16t-ah000 SSD/RAM upgrade compatibility questions

[mk-xwo]

While waiting for my build listed below, I need to verify specs that are hard to find for my model. It ships with 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD. Questions:

• Does this laptop have 1 or 2 SSD slots?
• Specs show 2TB max capacity - is this accurate, or can I install 4TB in a single slot?
• Is the M.2 slot Gen5 (full speed) or Gen4 (compatibility mode)?
• For RAM: what's the max per slot - 32GB or 64GB?

Thank you!

Chapters 1, and 5 of the service manual indicates that the notebook can support up to 2 x 32 GB of memory (only on models configured with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5090, 5080, or 5070 ti graphics card), it has support for two M.2 SSDs, and HP offered drives up to 2 TB but you can install a 4 TB drive if you wanted to.

I'm thinking that 64 GB can be installed in any model but HP only offered 64 GB of memory in the notebooks with those graphics adapter options.

It also appears that HP offered a Gen 5.0 SSD in the model series, so the M.2 slots should be PCIe Gen 5.0.

Hey there, do you know if an 8tb gen4 ssd is compatible? Or is only 4tb ssd compatible? 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Theoretically an 8 TB drive should work as long as it is single-sided so it fits in the slot.

Do you know if replacing the main SSD slot (so removing heatsink) and repasting void the warranty ?
Of course if there is no user mishandling during the process.

We do not work for or represent HP, so we are unable to reply on HP's behalf regarding the warranty terms and conditions.

I recommend you contact HP customer service and seek an official answer from HP.
