Hello, I need some help.

I have an omen 15-dc0030nr and I would like to upgrade the storage since ive realized its not enough. My current ssd is 118gb, current ram is 16gb. My data drive has 917gb and my recovery has 14gb. Is it possible to upgrade the storage on a laptop or am I out of luck? If it is possible what products can I use to upgrade it?

Your machine has dual storage option with 128GB SSD is a bonus.  You must store a lot of things on your machine, mines

which shows after 2 years (next month) my 😧 is 95% free. Anyway,

 

1. You can upgrade your SSD to 1TB or more using

                     https://www.samsung.com/au/memory-storage/970-evo-nvme-m2-ssd/MZ-V7E2T0BW/

                     https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/crucial-p2-ssd

                     https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/crucial-p5-ssd

            Or similar from reputable vendors.
                       One example (compatible drive, can use smaller/larger capacity)

                                https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p5/ct1000p5ssd8/ct18124031

                                    (My machine has 256GB of Samsung)

 

2. You can also upgrade 1TB of 2.5" HDD to 2 TB (more probably won't physically fit due to thicker) using normal standard 2.5" HDD for laptops from any vendor.

 

Regards.
