Upgrade SSD -

[Eduardobdl]

Hello, I have a hp omen Model17 a008np notebook, win 10, i7 - 32g ram - 128g ssd / 1 TB HD - 6G graphics card.

I would like to use a 2 TB SSD instead of the 128G (operating system) and keep the HD.
My question is, what is the maximum expansion limit this equipment can handle?

Hi:

I cannot find any specs on that model.

Are you sure you don't have this model?

OMEN by HP - 17-an008np Product Specifications | HP® Support

If so, the Crucial memory/SSD report it will support up to a 4 TB NVMe SSD.

HP - Compaq HP OMEN 17-an008np | Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | Crucial.com

The service manual only provides the drive capacities HP offered in the model series as there is no way to determine how large a capacity NVMe SSD a PC will support because theoretically, the sky's virtually the limit as long as the drive is single sided, so it fits in the M.2 slot.

Yes friend, that's the same model.
I plan to buy a 2 TB SSD, and it's not cheap at all, so I'd like to make sure it would work.
Taking into consideration your arguments I believe that it will support a 2 TB SSD.
One detail, I intend to buy one from the Western Digital brand, as it is a brand that I have used for years and like. Or does it need to be exclusively from Crucial that you mentioned??
I think I couldn't understand you in the best way, I'm using a translator.

Hi:

I was just showing you the report Crucial had saying how large a capacity drive they sell for your notebook's model series.

A WD NVMe SSD would be fine.

Just note that if you buy a PCIe Gen 4 SSD it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from your notebook's Gen 3.0 SSD slot.

ok, thank you friend ! ✌️
