Upgrading Omen 15-ax040tx

[rocketfueled]

I need to increase my boot SSD size and am thinking of upgrading to a 480 GB Adata XPG SX8200 NVME M.2 SSD. Will I be able to install this and use it with my laptop?

The ADATA SSD has components on both sides of the board and is an NVME drive. I am unsure if it is compatible with my 15-ax040tx. Anyone can clarify this for me?

The alternative is a Samsung 970 Evo.

I understand you would like to upgrade M.2 SSD on your PC.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

By not wasting much of your time here.

As you mentioned you would like to upgrade the SSD to 480 GB Adata XPG SX8200 NVME M.2 SSD.

The hard drive, you are trying to install has not been tested or tried with the product. We cannot guarantee that the product will function correctly.

However, as per the specifications you can upgrade the SSD on your PC. Also, I would suggest you upgrade the product with the following M.2 SSD below.

I have checked the specifications of your laptop and found there is one Internal card expansion M.2 slot.
