Hi! I'm using NVMe KXG60ZNV512G KIOXIA. Can I add an additional SSD to my OMEN Gaming Laptop PC 15-ek100? If so, which SSD would you recommend? Thanks.

Hi:

 

According to the service manual for the previous model series (the only one available) on your notebook's support page, your notebook does have support for two M.2 NVMe SSD's.

The service teardown video shows this also.

Your notebook's M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.

 

While a Gen 4.0 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:

I'd look into one of these Samsung drives:

 

Samsung 980 PCIe Gen 3.0.

For a Gen 4.0 SSD, the Samsung 990 Pro.
