Spectre x360 getting pci-e 4.0 speeds

[KLH321]

My Spectre x360 14ef2xxx motherboard reports "PCI-Express 4.0 (16.0 GT/s)"

Does that mean that I'll get pci-e 4 throughput if I splurge for a pci-e 4.0 drive?

Hi:

Yes, that is correct.

HP only has the service manual for the older 14-ef0xxx model series on your notebook's support page, but even the older models had support for PCIe NVMe 4 x 4 SSD's.

See chapter 1.

No doubt your notebook also came with a PCie Gen 4 NVMe SSD.

Thanks much for the prompt reply. I couldn't find the info in the manual you referenced, but I did find the info in the "Product Information" section by selecting "Product Specifications" in the dropdown, and it's quite clear the ef2xxx supports 4x4, I'm all set!

You're very welcome.

The SSD information is briefly mentioned in the service manual in chapter 1 on page 1.
