Upgrade SSD victus 16-d0500la

[VicenteRiffo]

I have a victus 16-d0500 i5 and first: I wanted to know the maximum capacity of the internal SSD memory, it has 2 slots, one 256g NVMe WD PC SN810 SDCPRNRY and I want to add another one, ideally a Kingston NMVe m.2 but I don't know if it is compatible , and I also don't know the maximum size that the equipment supports. I would appreciate if you can help me

The notebook does have support for two M.2 NVMe SSD's.

The primary SSD slot is PCIe Gen 4.0, but I believe that the secondary NVMe slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.

Regarding the maximum NVMe drive storage capacity:

Theoretically, the sky's the limit as long as the drive is single sided so that it fits in the slot.

There are no programs or other ways to determine how large a capacity NVMe SSD you can install.

Chapter 1 of the service manual lists the drive capacities HP offered in the model series, but again, that is just what they offered.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

For example, the Crucial SSD report for the model series indicates that they sell NVMe SSD's up to 4 TB.

Any NVMe SSD would be compatible but if you buy a Gen 4.0 SSD to install in the empty slot, expect it to run at less than its advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3. slot.
