Hello,
I am planning to upgrade my Toshiba XG5 Series KXG50ZNV1T02 1TB M2 2280 driver to 4 TB. Is it OK? Which generation of SSD driver is my limit? Can I go from GEN3 to GEN4.

I also have a second 1 TB driver installed.

Best Thanks

Hi:

 

You should be able to install a 4 TB NVMe SSD in your notebook.

 

The Crucial SSD report for your notebook indicates that they sell NVMe SSD's up to 4 TB.

While a Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD will work it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3.0 SSD slot.

 

This table shows the maximum transfer speeds each PCIe slot generation can provide:

Chapter 1 indicates that HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 2 TB in the model series, but that is just what they offered, not the maximum capacity supported.
