Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fa1000 Manuals | HP® Customer Support

 

According to chapter 1 of the manual there is only support for one M.2 NVMe SSD with no provisions or parts to add a 2.5" drive.

 

You can see the location of the single M.2 SSD in chapter 5 on page 33 of the service manual.

 

If you need more storage, you will need to replace the existing 512 GB NVMe SSD with one having a greater storage capacity.

Unfortunately, there isn't any.

 

You can't add a 2.5" drive, and you can't add a second NVMe SSD leaving you with only an external storage option, such as a USB portable hard drive or if your notebook has a SD card slot, a SD card to store files on.
