What is maximum size PCIe M.2 SSD that can be installed.

[tzimmermn]

My currently installed PCIe M.2 SSD is 500 GB and I am running out of storage space.   The manual shows PCIe M.2 SSD's up to 500 GB.  Can I clone and upgrade to a 1 TB PCIe M.2 SSD, or is the 500 GB the maximum size?    I have heard others talk about upgrading to a SATA 1 TB SSD (which it supports), but was having trouble finding the tray to install the drive in this computer.  

Thanks in advance

hi @tzimmermn

According to your HP product, your computer for SSD just support 500GB for SSD here you have the information for the SSD

512-GB, M.2 2280, PCIe3×4, NVMe solid-state drive with TLC                                  L20709-001
512-GB, 2280, PCIe, NVMe solid-state drive                                                                   L20710-001
256-GB, 2280, PCIe, NVMe solid-state drive                                                                   L20708-001

Also as you asked, according to user maintenance guide (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06001790) here you have brief description for HDD 1TB

Description                                                                                                                                     Spare part number

You can see this information for HDD at page 14 from the previous link that I leave you
