Hi,
I am trying to locate some info what is the max capacity of SSD that I can install with this motherboard HP 878A 17.29.
Currently I have one stick 1TB. Can I exchange it to 2TB or should I add another 1TB?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi:
HP only offered drives up to 1 TB in the model series.
I don't know of any reason why a 2 TB NVMe SSD wouldn't work.
The crucial SSD report for your notebook indicates that they sell NVMe SSD's up to 4 TB:
HP - Compaq HP OMEN 15-ek0009nw | Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | Crucial.com
Note: Your notebook's M.2 SSD slots are PCIe Gen 3.0.
While a PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD will work, it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds.
This chart shows the maximum transfer speeds from the various PCIe generations:
