SSD capacity of HP 15-EC0098AX M.2 slot

[pvivekm]

Hi

I have the HP Pavillion Gaming 15-EC0098AX laptop and want to add a 1TB SSD to it (in addition to the 1TB HDD)

My question is : Does this model support 1TB SSD capacity in its M.2 Slot?

If not then what is the maximum SSD capacity supported by this model?

Hi:

Chapter 1, page 2 of the service manual indicates that HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 1 TB in the model series.

Thanks Paul for prompt response.

What confused me in the manual is the part that mentions capacities of HDD + SSD.

One of them is:

256 GB, PCIe, NVMe, TLC, solid-state drive + 1 TB, 7200 rpm hard drive

which I interpreted as max limit of 256GB on SSD if I install it along with the existing HDD.

I am not sure if :

1. that is the Out-of-the-box configuration of other models in the ECXXX series

OR

2. It is a limit on SSD if I added it to my HDD-Only model.

I got confused and hence wanted to get it clarified before I make the purchase.

Yes.

It does support up to 2TB in the PCIE, NVMe, M.2 slot.
