UPGRADE

[MrVíc]

Mi HP Laptop (HP 15-da0073wm) is an 8th Gen i7-8550U with 16 GB Intel Optane m10 Memory. I want to upgrade the Optane m10 Memory to 32GB or 64GB, preferably 64GB or even a better one if possible. Any suggestions...

Hi @MrVíc,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Upgrading the Intel Optane Memory in your HP laptop can potentially improve system performance, particularly in terms of storage responsiveness. However, there are a few factors to consider before proceeding with an upgrade:

Compatibility: Ensure that the new Optane Memory module you choose is compatible with your laptop's hardware and motherboard. Check the specifications of your laptop and consult HP's support documentation or contact their support team for compatibility information.

Capacity: As you mentioned, you're interested in upgrading to either a 32GB or 64GB module. While upgrading to a higher capacity can provide more caching space and potentially better performance, it's essential to verify that your laptop supports the desired capacity.

Form Factor: Optane Memory modules come in different form factors, such as M.2 2280 or M.2 2242. Make sure to select a module that matches the form factor supported by your laptop.

Budget: Consider your budget when choosing the Optane Memory upgrade. Higher-capacity modules typically come with higher price tags, so weigh the performance benefits against the cost.

Performance: Research the performance benefits of upgrading to a higher-capacity Optane Memory module. Determine if the performance gains justify the investment, especially considering your specific usage patterns and workload.

Here are some potential upgrade options:

Intel Optane Memory H10: The Intel Optane Memory H10 combines Optane Memory with QLC NAND flash storage on a single M.2 module. It offers both caching capabilities and additional storage space. However, compatibility with your laptop's motherboard should be verified.

Higher Capacity Optane Memory Modules: If you prefer a traditional Optane Memory module, you can explore options for higher-capacity modules, such as 32GB or 64GB. Ensure compatibility with your laptop's hardware and form factor requirements.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
