RAM and SSD supported and MAX capacity

[Elvis1990]

Hi everyone. I would like to know which type of RAM and SSD is supported by this laptop (HP ENVY x360 - 15-dr1017tx) and which is the maximum capacity I can install for both of them.

Thanks a lot.

Hi:

HP does not have a service manual for your notebook, but I did find one for the older 15-dr0xxx model seriesat the link below you can download.

Product description, Product components and descriptions continued | HP ENVY 15-dr1000 | Maintenance...

According to chapter 1 of the manual, the notebook can support up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR4 memory.

Your notebook, since it has an Intel 10th gen core processor, uses DDR4-2666 CL19 memory.

 If you want to see if your notebook can support more than 2 x 8 GB of memory, you can run this command in Windows Powershell as administrator:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_PhysicalMemoryArray | Select-Object MaxCapacityEx, MemoryDevices

As far as SSD capacity, theoretically there is no limit to the storage capacity of a NVMe SSD you want to install as long as the drive is single-sided so that it fits in the memory slot.

So, 2 or 4 TB NVMe SSDs should work.

The PCIe slot generation is 3.0 but a Gen 4.0 will also work fine.

It just won't run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3 slot which maxes out at 4,000 MBPS.

Thanks a lot for all these useful infos, really appreciate it!

My intention where just to increase the SSD capability because I got a 250gb at the moment which is not much, and because I was considering to do so, I thought to might increase the RAM from 16 gb which I have now, to 32.
