Hi Guys, I'm looking at upgrading my current 500GB SSD on my Omen30L - product code (2L3B1EA#ABU) and wondered if I could get some recommendations for 1TB?
I'm a bit of a novice so hopefully its just a case of swapping the old for the new.
Solved! Go to Solution.

from inspecting the manuals I can see that it is a Dorado OC motherboard - with the OC having two, does this mean I can have 2 x separate SSD cards?
Yes, that is exactly what that means. You will have to buy a M.2 socket 3, key M (for SSD card PCIe x4 Gen 3). I like Samsung M.2's. They seem to work better with the HP BIOS/UEFI. I have a Samsung 970 Pro. It works great. You can clone the 500 GB M.2 to the new 1 TB M.2 using Samsung Data Migration software.

@NathanJ88 , welcome to the Community.
The Product Number that you listed doesn't appear to be correct. When I enter it into the Support page it doesn't come up with a match: https://support.hp.com/us-en
Try it to see what you get.
Please check it carefully and let me know the correct Product Number or Model.
The 30L series comes with a Dorado and Dorado OC motherboard. They have the same M.2, SSD, socket (M.2 socket 3, key M (for SSD card PCIe x4 Gen 3), but the OC has two of them. It will be a much different installation depending on the M.2 socket configuration. It is fairly straight-forward with either installation.
