Want to replace WD PC SN810 SDCPNRY-512G-1006 SSD with Samsung 990 PRO 2TB, will it be compatible?

I wish to upgrade my HP Victus gaming laptop that has a Western Digital WD PC SN810 SDCPNRY-512G-1006 NVMe M.2 SSD with a Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD. Will the Samsung SSD be compatible?

The Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB should work fine.

The drive is housed in a thermal enclosure, so don't buy the drive with the heat sink.

Below is the link to the service manual:

Maintenance and Service Guide Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PCModel numbers: 16-s0xxx

The manual shows two positions for NVMe SSDs, but that is incorrect.

Your notebook only has support for one M.2 NVMe SSD.

Thank you Expert Paul. I will buy the Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB without the heat sink. This is the one I aim to buy Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 2TB SSD Card | Samsung UK. So this is the correct one? Just to confirm.

You're very welcome.

Yes, that would be the right one.

Thank you again Expert Paul.

I will provide feedback once I am done with the SSD upgrade.

Thank you Expert Paul. For my WD PC SN810 512 GB NVMe SSD, I am using it as an external drive with this enclosure. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/UGREEN-Enclosure-Adapter-Cooling-Tool-Free-black/dp/B09T97Z7DM/ref=pd_ci_...

That was an excellent idea to re-purpose the WD SN810 to be used as a portable storage device.
