OMEN by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop 16-k0000 (594K2AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hello,

 

My laptop comes with 1 tb wd gen 4 SSD. I want to upgrade it to 2 TB. But I am not sure, if it has second SSD slot. If it has second SSD slot, then I am planning to buy WD sn850x 1tb without heat sink SSD.

 

I have following queries: -

1) Will I be able to update to WD sn850x 1 TB SSD?

2) Will this SSD be a perfect choice for my laptop model?

3) If yes, how to verify slot compatibility before purchase?

 

Thank you,

-Vipul

@Vipul_Patil 

 

Its manual

 

           https://kaas.hpcloud.hp.com/pdf-public/pdf_5972494_en-US-1.pdf

 

which does not say anything about DUAL storage options (page 2) but it says  Primary storage that implies a secondary but what.

 

My suggestion: replace existing drive with 2TB and during the process you may see second M.2 slot and up you go you can have 3TB (2TB  + old 1TB).

 

Hope this makes sense

 

Regards,

BH
