Can you put a higher capacity SSD card type drive into a HP Gaming laptop Model number 15-ec0013dx

[Hugh_Lett]

I have a HP Gaming laptop Model number 15-ec0013dx

The only problem I have with it is that it has a pretty small drive , only 256 GB SSD card type "drive".

So the info that used to be on the website where they sold them in 2020 doesn't exist anymore, where it said what the maximum upgrade capacity of the drive, memory, etc are.

So I need to know, can you put a higher capacity SSD card type drive into a HP Gaming laptop Model number 15-ec0013dx, or is 256 GB the largest you can go?

It currenntly has a 256 gb Samsungmodelnumber MZVLQ256HAJD-000H1 disk drive. I need whatever the next highest capacity sdd card type drive is that's available, if any, for my computer.

You can use 1TB or 2TB drive (some vendors now have 4TB but double sided is too thick) such as

The 256 SSD drive that's in my laptop says on it that it's rated DC +3.3Volts ,1.5 AMPS.

The SSD that's in the link you gave says it's also rated  3.3 Volts, but  Average Power Consumption is 6 W  Maximum: 9 W (Burst mode). So in Burst mode that would be about 2.7 AMPS and 1.8 Amps average. So won't the the extra power consumption be too much for my laptop to handle and oveheat the circuits? Or is it different from plugging a device that uses more amps than the circuit is rated for in a house with AC current? (because if I plug a heater that uses 2000 watts into a socket that has wiring rated for 15 AMPS and a 15 AMP circuit breaker, either the circuit breaker will trip, or the wiring will catch fire after a pretty short time. )
