I now need a little more room for my primary M.2 hardrive and was thinking about the new-gen 4 drives but can't find out if it is compatible. I wouldn't want to spend the money on a gen 4, and I only experience a 25% increase in performance. The gen 4's have a read speed of 7,000 MBS. I have been looking can't find the info. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My model number is,
OMEN X by HP Desktop PC - 900-260xe Product number: 2SS03AV

Hi,
You can install a Gen 4 M.2 drive but your chipset (Intel) is limited to PCIe 3.0.
Data transfer will not exceed the maximum rate PCIe 3.0 allows due to the chipset and processor.
So a different M.2 drive may move data faster than you see now but it can't exceed motherboard limitations. You are stuck at PCIe 3.0 data transfer rates.
Regards
