Can OMEN Laptop 15-en1004AX Support a Second SSD?

[Svolta]

Hi all,

I own an OMEN Laptop 15-en1004AX and am considering upgrading its storage. It currently has a 512GB PCIe® NVMe™ TLC M.2 SSD. I'm curious if this model can accommodate a second SSD, and if yes, what are the types of hard drive that would be compatible?

Thanks in advance,

Have a nice day!

Hi:

According to chapter 1 of the maintenance and service guide on your notebook's user guides support page, your notebook has support for two M.2 NVMe SSD's.

You have a nice day too!

Hi Paul! Thanks for your feedback! I did download the document on your link and I'm going to check it out!

You're very welcome.

The information regarding support for two M.2 SSD's is located in chapter 1 of the maintenance and service guide, on the top of page 2.

Hello again!

On the Product Description of the file you spoke about, it mentions that the products concerned by the guide are: "Model number: 15-en0000~15-en0999" (page 11 of the PDF file, or page 1 without counting the Table of Contents).

That means my laptop (15-en1004AX) falls outside the model number range specified. The guide may hence not be relevant.

Perhaps you could point out to a guide that concerns the series my laptop belongs to?

Thanks again for your help!

You're very welcome.

That is the only service manual available for the model series and covers both the 15-en0xxx and 15-en1xxx model series.

Perhaps the processor and memory specs your notebook has are different, but the hardware configuration is the same (2 memory slots, 2 NVMe slots, etc).

If you still are skeptical about what I wrote, please watch this video...

The M.2 slot generation is 3.0.

Alright! I'll take your word for it! Thank you for your time!

I hope HP makes a proper user guide for the 1000 series as well.

Anytime. 

Glad to have been of assistance.
