SSD Upgrading

[MustafaKösem]

Hi, I have a 256GB SSD. I no longer want to use it.

I want to upgrade my system with two new SSDs using the M.2 slots.

What options do I have for capacity and specifications?

Hi @MustafaKösem 

Please indicate the laptop model; no one will be able to answer the question correctly without that information.

Sorry. My notebook is below one:

HP ZBook 15 G4 Base Model Mobile Workstation

It only has one M.2 slot where you can install M.2 SATA or NVMe drives of any size you want. The second drive can only be a 2.5" drive.

What is the capacity limit for M.2 NVMe SSD?

[resistencia]

There is no limit; you can set the size you want.

At the document you have linked there is below informations:

So, 1TB limit at the document isn't important unless its size is 2280.
For example can I use below SSD for upgrade?

Crucial P3 4TB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD

I have checked its compatibility by using Cruicals scanner tool. Answer seems yes.

Could you check my writings.

No HP laptop with M.2 drives has a limit. The manuals show how these laptops are commercialized. SSDs are non-volatile memories; they are not mechanical HDD disks, which can affect their size.

So I can use below SSD for upgrading my system.

Yes.
