Product: OMEN by HP 45L Gaming Desktop PC IDS Base Models (ArticunoI)

The factory hard drive (boot drive) on my Omen 45L is failing and needs to be replaced.  Do I need to install a replacement drive that has heatsink?   Thank you.

Greetings @JMHNY 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

Your 45L should have a M.2 PCIe NVME system drive.

 

It's unusual to see drive failure so quickly with an NVME drive. Did you run diagnostics?

 

The OS M.2 socket should be between the CPU socket and the graphics card.

 

Check for a heatsink. My guess is HP provided a heatsink.

 

Regards
