HP Omen X 17-ap010nr upgrading hard drive

[JPJR00]

Has any one upgraded the hard drive (HDD) to their omen? I opened mine and check and I see it has some room for a possibly larger hard drive. I was wondering if any one has tried to install a desktop Hard drive or one that is larger that 9.5mm? Or is it only limited to laptop/notebook hard drives?  I want to upgrade to ideally a <4TB HDD.
