Omen 30l compatible M2 SSD

[JB181]

Hello community,

I need to know if I can fit "WD Black SSD SN850 Gaming M.2 NVMe" into my secondary SSD slot in my OMEN 30L?

Its specs

        https://support.hp.com/au-en/product/omen-30l-desktop-pc-gt13-1000i/2100000185/product-info

It has 2 slots for M.2 NVMe SSD drives. Looks like this first slot uses  interface: PCIe-4x4 and the second slot uses  SSD card PCIe x4 Gen 3. The note says

         Two M.2 socket 3, key M (one for SSD card PCIe x4 Gen 3)

The first slot uses

WD_BLACK 2 TB PCIe NVMe TLC Solid State Drive

• Size: 2 TB

• Interface: PCIe-4x4

• Form Factor: M.2 2280

• Type: TLC Solid State

You can use the same for its second slot, only it won't run PCIe-4x4 speed.

Regards.

Hello Banhien, thank you for fast replay.

Yes the box came with 500Gib M2 and HDD 2TB. The first thing I did is to remove the 2TB disk as it is loud and I'm using a dedicated solution for storage with RAID1 so I don't need that disk.  I know I can replace the 2TB disk with a normal SSD, but I wan't to use an M2. Box  has another slot for M2 disks that  I would like to use. People are doing it AFAIK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nowORewYdw4,

So I'm guessing I should be fine.  Or am I missing something?
