Hi, can someone confirm if this SSD is compatible? And also exactly what things should I look for to find the right SSD?

 

WD_BLACK 500GB SN750 SE NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 3,60...

 

Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V7S250B/AM)

 

Also can some explain what KIND of SSD I should be looking for, for future reference?

NVME or SATA? 3D NAND? SLC? TLC?

Here is your Service Manual- http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05985643.pdf 

 

Your laptop supports PCIE 3x4 and SATA3, with the former being much faster. The drives you list are PCIE 4, while they will work in your laptop, they won't reach PCIE 4 speeds.
