Product: Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-e0000 (2V9A1AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I am planning on getting a SSD upgrade. Does my laptop have 2 SSD NVME slots or one and also is WD SN5000 a good choice for my laptop

Yes, your laptop has support for 2 M.2 NVMe SSD's.

 

The slots are PCIe Gen 3.0 so the WD SN5000 will work fine but it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3 slots.

 

See chapter 5, page 34 of the service manual.

You're very welcome.

 

Yes, I agree.

 

Now that Gen 4 SSD's are more mainstream than Gen 3 SSD's the prices on the Gen 4's have come down and make them a bargain, and you can transfer the drive to a newer PC in the future that has a Gen 4 slot.

 

The Gen 4 SSD will work with no problem.

 

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