Hey everyone!

I'm considering upgrading the SSD on my HP Pavilion Gaming 15 EC1xxx laptop and I'm curious about compatibility. Does anyone know if this model supports PCIe Gen 3 or Gen 4 SSDs? Additionally, I'm wondering if it can handle SSD capacities of up to 1TB or 2TB.

Any insights or experiences with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi:

 

The M.2 slot in the 15-ec1xxx model series is PCIe Gen 3.0.

 

A PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD will work, but not at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from a Gen 3.0 slot.

 

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates that HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 1 TB in the model series, but I don't know of any reason why a 2 TB NVMe SSD wouldn't work.
