NVMe M.2 SSD PCIe Generation?

[Markle306]

Hello,

Does anyone know if the HP Spectre x360 16-f0008ca model supports PCIe Gen 4.0 speeds? I know the laptop comes with a 3.0 SSD, however, I'm interested to know if it's better to get a 3.0 or 4.0 SSD depending on what speeds the model supports. Thanks!

Can you check Model Number again? 16-f0008ca isn't a valid Model Number.

Sorry about that, 378V0UA#ABL may be what you're looking for. If not, here are the specs:

Intel i7-11390H, 16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, 1 TB PCIe NVMe TLC M.2 SSD, 16" 3K+ (non-OLED) display, RTX 3050.

Thanks the Product ID worked. The Service Guide http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c07856708.pdf  shows they shipped with NVMe-3×4 ssd's. The Specifications https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-spectre-x360-16-inch-2-in-1-laptop-pc-16-f0000/2100677648/mo...  doesn't indicate what version either.

That generation chipset has the capabilities, I'm fairly sure. Maybe someone else has a better answer.

Hi, @Markle306 

You can normally find the PCIe slot revision by looking at the processor specs on the Intel/AMD website as applicable.

Here are the processor specs for your notebook's i7-11390H processor.

Intel® Core™ i7-11390H Processor

As Pbroussard indicated, the processor itself is PCIe Gen 4, but the NVMe slot is Gen 3.

Look under the Expansion Options section...
