SSD maximum capacity upgrade

[abcdef6]

Hi, what is the upgrade maximum capacity for SSD s in case of Laptop HP 15-da0042nq , processor Intel® Core™ i5-8250U up to 3.40 GHz Kaby Lake R, 15.6", Full HD, 4GB, 1TB HDD, DVD-RW, Intel® UHD Graphics.

I have found at one drive solutions site according the above mentioned laptop the folowing options:

- 4TB SATA III 6Gb/s 3D TLC NAND Flash Tiered Caching 2.5" Solid State Drive

 or 4TB SATA III 6Gb/s MLC V-NAND Flash 4GB DRAM Cache 2.5" Solid State Drive

- 4TB PCIe NVMe Gen-3.0 x4 3D TLC NAND Flash 4GB LPDDR4 DRAM Cache M.2 NGFF (2280) Solid State Drive

- 2TB SATA III 6Gb/s 3D TLC NAND Flash Tiered Caching M.2 NGFF (2280) Solid State Drive - Western

Is the above options functional for the mentioned laptop?

Note: I did not find on local market "NAND Flash  or NAND Flash Tiered" version for SSD s  only "NAND"  version, is that doing the job? What is the differece between this versions?

Thank you!

Your laptop is compatible with  up to 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD specification that is far better than the old school NGFF and SATA III specification SSD products you are asking about.

The entry level SATA III and NVMe SSD products will both work.

NVME is the superior of the two. It has the highest data transfer bandwidth by far.

"NAND Flash or NAND Flash Tiered" are descriptions of the type of memory used in the SSD.

"NAND Flash and NAND Flash Tiered" are just  marketing buzzwords and means nothing other than NAND memory.

Thank you.

Bottom line, I undertstand the maximum of 8 TB will fit into my laptop  from one unit of 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD and one unit of 4TB  SATA III 6.Gb/S TLC NAND 2.5" SSD

Is that correct?l

Yes.
That is in line with current IT hardware knowledge.

Those are going to be some expensive storage devices.
