OMEN by HP 25L Gaming Desktop PC GT15-1000i (6J772AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I recently bought a new HP OMEN gaming PC, see the model. My question is how I can add a new PCi M2 to the motherboard? 

 

If I remove the heatsink, are there 2 sockets for SSDs? Or is there a second SSD socket on the back of the motherboard?

 

This is the SSD I want to add:

Thanks in advance,

Saman

Your machine could be one on the list of 95 machines

And they use same Motherboard. Unfortunately the link for motherboard is broken but it says it has

 

 

  • Expansion slots:

    • (1) PCI Express 5.0 x16 lanes

    • (1) M.2 socket 1, key A, type 2230 for WLAN

    • (2) M.2 socket 3, key M, type 2280 for SSDs (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4)

That means it has 2 physically M.2 slots

Indeed, I can install to physicall M2 PCi SSDs. 

 

My question is where I can find the second slot? Is it behind the graphic card (GeForce RTX 4070)? I cannot seem to locate the second SSD slot. Can you perhaps help me?

 

Kind regards,
