what is the best SSD internal drive for HP ENVY Desktop TE01-5244

[Portobelo88]

My "HP - Envy Desktop with Windows 11 Pro - Intel Core i5 - 16GB DDR4 Memory - 1TB SSD - Black" (TE01-5244)) (Model No# A07RMAA#ABA)  came it be upgraded to a much larger SSD, like a 2TB NVME M.2 PCIe?  What speeds would you recommend and what are the specifications of the current internal 1TB NVME M.e2 PCIe that it came with.

Unfortunately, the HP partsurfer website does not recognize either the product number or the model number of your PC.

The HP specs sheet for the model series indicate that PCIe Gen 4 x 4 NVMe SSD's are supported.

I recommend the Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB as a replacement.

Hi @Portobelo88 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

Yes, you can do a 2 TB or larger PCIe NVME SSD upgrade.

Download and run Crystal Disk Info, Zip (portable) to check your NVME drive specs. Your PC either: has a PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 4.0 SSD now.

I use Samsung NVME SSDs as a personal preference. But there are many good NVME SSDs available at Newegg or Amazon.

Thanks,  That is exactly what I was contemplating on doing.  I had my eyes on the Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB as a replacement, which is currently  on sale.  I plan on getting the one with the heatsink.  Thanks for the feedback.  You rock!
