Upgrading to a higher capacity SSD hard drive

[Hugh_Lett]

I have a HP Gaming laptop Model number 15-ec0013dx

The only problem I have with it is that it has a pretty small drive , only 256 GB SSD card type "drive".

Someone said I can replace it with a 1TB or 2TB drive and gave me this link: https://www.samsung.com/au/memory-storage/nvme-ssd/970-evo-plus-nvme-m-2-ssd-1tb-mz-v7s1t0bw/

but 256 SSD drive that's in my laptop says on it that it's rated DC +3.3Volts ,1.5 AMPS.
The SSD that's in the link says it's also rated 3.3 Volts, but Average Power Consumption is 6 W Maximum: 9 W (Burst mode). So in Burst mode that would be about 2.7 AMPS and 1.8 Amps average. So won't the the extra power consumption be too much for my laptop to handle and oveheat the circuits? Or is it different from plugging a device that uses more amps than the circuit is rated for in a house with AC current? (because if I plug a heater that uses 2000 watts into a socket that has wiring rated for 15 AMPS and a 15 AMP circuit breaker, either the circuit breaker will trip, or the wiring will catch fire after a pretty short time. )

The specs of your machine is

Yes, you can upgrade to 1TB or 2TN uding Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD as mentioned above.

As you know 256GB drive is less "chips" than 1TB or 2TB therefore more chips will consume more power and normally hotter that why higher capacity M.2 NVMe drives normally have HEAT SINK.

Please to be sure you install heat sink properly.
