Omen 15 compatible SSD

[Jay170725]

Hello, I know it's a little bit too late to ask this but, My laptop is Omen 15 CE030TX and I bought recently the TEAMGROUP MS30 SSD 512 GB SATA III 6gb/s. I wanted to ask if this kind of SSD is compatible to my laptop? Any word of advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

No its not compatible.

Your Omen model will only accept NVMe M.2 SSDs.

[Jay170725]

I see. So as long as the SSD is NVMe it is compatible to my laptop?

[Photoray002]

Yes. Here is an example... https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/hp-omen-15-ce030tx/CT13562699

How about I use Samsung evo 970? Do you have any idea if how much is the full capacity for omen 15 in regards to ssd slot?

[Photoray002]

Yep that will work. There isnt a capacity limit with drives like there is with memory, so install as big as you can find.

I know this must be consider as seeking an advice, but let me take this opportunity to ask if 16 gb ram and 1tb of ssd is a good choice for omen 15 ce030tx?

[Photoray002]

Fantastic setup. Yes that would be very ideal. The memory slots will hold 8GB sticks each to make 16GB or (2x8)GB sticks. But you want the sticks to have matched pairs. In other words, the timings need to be the same for both sticks, so it will run in Dual Channel configuration.

Do you mean that it must be the same manufacturer or the same frequency? 

[Photoray002]

frequency or "timings". Never said manufacture.

IF you have an 8GB stick now. use a tool like Speccy or CPUz to view its timings and get another one to match.
