OMEN 17-w273nr RAM and Storage Upgrade

[alBarras]

I am thinking about buying an HP OMEN, however I may need more RAM and Storage in the future and I would like to know if this model is upgradable. The model is the OMEN 17-w273nr (serial number: W2N52UA), and it comes with 16Gb RAM and 512Gb SSD.

Is it possible to upgrade any of those? If not, is there any OMEN model with more than 16Gb RAM and/or more SSD storage (or at least the same SSD storage but with an additional SATA memory storage), without renouncing to the 1070 GTX NVIDIA GeForce graphics card (at least the 1060 I do need)?

Thank you in advance.

Hello alBarras,

The Specs for that model show it as only having up to 16 GB of ram and a 512 GB m.2 NVMe SSD because thats as far as HP has tested it to work with.

I would like to think it could work with more ram, but without actually installing more myself, I cannot say.

You can absolutely add another drive to the sata connector inside as there is room for a 2.5 inch HDD/SDD, but you will have to purchase the connecting cable and drive brackets to install it with.

At the moment, the HP Store is the only source for those items and they are pricey.

You will need...

Hard drive connector and cable

Hard drive brackets with rubber

If you go with a conventional HDD, I would use a WD Black drive 7200 rpm.

Here is where the HDD bay is located on my W273nr.

Here is the maintence manual for how to take it apart.

I will add, that as far as warranty goes, each model can be different and we are not authorized to tell you what will pass and what wont. You would want to contact HP Support directly and ask them before replacing components.

Just in case.
