SSD drive failing. Need to replace, would Like to enlarge

[Maybach01]

My Envy desktop has started issuing the error code Disk1 failure,  Failure ID is 60FTJJ-7STB7K-WPTWLK-609503,  Product ID: M9Z94ABA.  When I select continue the computer will boot, but any and all personalization is gone.  Desktop is blank.

What type of SSD do I need and can I use a larger SSD and mine is only 128GB.

I have a recovery disk and drive backup.  So data is protected.  

Please advise as to how I can proceed and with what type of hardware.

Thanks.

Hi:

Please see this discussion...

Solved: M.2 Drives on Thimphu, Intel Z170, WIN - HP Support Community - 6336978

Your PC probably came with a M.2 SATA SSD because that is the only 128 GB SSD shown in the parts list for your PC.

Hard Drive - SSD, GNRC, 128GB, SATA 6.0GB, ECO

If your PC has BIOS version A.014 or newer the faster NVMe-type M.2 SSD should work.

They have read/write speeds around 5x faster than a SATA SSD has.

You can install a M.2 SSD having a greater storage capacity if you want.

I recommend either the Samsung 980 (not 980 Pro), or the Western Digital Blue SN570 NVMe SSDs.

If you want to stick with a SATA M.2 SSD, then I recommend the Western Digital Blue SA510 M.2 SATA SSD.
