Want to know the second m.2 slot is PCIe Gen 4 or PCIe Gen 3 in my Victus 16 E0075AX laptop

Hi

I am planning to add additional m.2 SSD in my Victus 16 E0075AX laptop. 

I know that it has additional m.2 slot but cannot find any information about its supporting PCIe generation (4 or 3).

Need some help to find the generation, so based on that I can buy some better m.2 SDD for the upgrade.

If possible, please share some better SSD options.

Thanks in advance!

Hi:

No mention is made regarding the M.2 slot generation in the service manual.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

I believe both slots are generation 3 because chapter 1 of the manual indicates that HP only offered Gen 3 NVMe SSD's in the model series and the AMD specs for the best processor offered in that model series indicates the PCI express revision is 3.0.

AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H Mobile Processor| AMD

Thank you!

As like slot 1, the second slot to supporting PCIe Gen3 only with TLC type of m.2 ssd.

I installed https://www.westerndigital.com/en-in/products/internal-drives/wd-blue-sn570-nvme-ssd#WDS500G3B0C. It is working fine 🙂
