Hi:

 

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates that HP offered 1 TB NVMe SSD's in the model series.

 

HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-ec1051ax - Setup and User Guides | HP® Support

 

They just didn't offer a 1 TB NVMe SSD along with a 1 TB HDD.

 

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to replace the 512 GB NVMe SSD with a 1 TB one.

 

The only thing is, you will need to find and buy the additional parts needed to add a 2.5" drive.

 

Most likely they are not there if your notebook only came with a 512 GB NVMe SSD.

 

The parts you need can be found in chapter 3.

 

Hard drive brackets not available as spare part

If you already have the parts, I have already answered your question.

 

Once again, I don't see any reason why you couldn't replace the 512 GB NVMe SSD with a 1 TB NVMe SSD and use it along with a 1 TB 2.5" SATA SSD.

 

HP only offered dual drive configurations as indicated in chapter 1 of the service manual.

As I wrote the other day...

 

I don't see any reason why you can't install a 1 TB NVMe SSD and have a 1 TB 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD.

 

The drive configurations are just what HP offered in the model series, not the maximum capacity supported.

 

HP offered 1 TB NVMe SSD's in the model series according to chapter 1 of the service manual, so why shouldn't one work with a 1 TB HDD/SSD?
