I want to replace the Toshiba KBG30ZMV256G M.2 NVMe SSD

[Globalish]

Hello,
I have an HP notebook - 15-da0403ng, product 4PL29EA,
series CND8360KHS with a Toshiba KBG30ZMV256G M.2 NVMe SSD. I would like to replace this SSD with a 1 TB SSD. The Toshiba KBG30ZMV256G M.2 NVMe SSD has a SATA III interface. Which SSD can I use for this? The SSDs suggested by the virtual assistant, Samsung (e.g. Samsung 970 Evo or 980 Pro) or Crucial (e.g. Crucial P5), seem to have a different interface. Thanks for your help

Hi:

Your notebook's M.2 SSD slot supports both SATA and NVMe SSD's.

See chapter 1 of the service manual:

HP 15 Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

The PCIe slot generation is 3.0.x 2 which means a PCIe Gen 3.0 NVMe SSD is only going to run at approximately 1/2 of its advertised read/write speeds.

I'd go with a Crucial P310 Gen 4 since it costs hardly any more than the Crucial P3 Gen 3.
