Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about buying the HP Victus 16-r0010nl and I wanted to insert another NVMe SSD but I have a question: in a laptop is it better to buy an SSD with or without heat sink? Does it fit into the laptop? I'm looking for a WD Black SSD. I'm comparing SN770 and SN850X.
Thank you

Hi:
If you look at the service manual and the service teardown video, the NVMe SSD's are inside enclosures, so a SSD with a heat sink will not fit.
See the illustrations in chapter 5, pages 34 & 35.
