Hi I have a corrupted harddrive for my hp pavilion 16 gaming 16-a0032dx laptop It was updating then I restarted and it won't run right.  I need to know where I can buy a new 512 gb harddrive. Please send link.

Hi:

 

Instead of going with the 512 GB Intel SSD with Optane memory, I recommend you install a standard NVMe SSD.

 

I recommend either the 500 GB or 1 TB model of this drive:

 

Amazon.com: SAMSUNG 980 SSD 1TB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280, Internal Solid State Drive, Storage for P...

 

If you would prefer to go with the same drive as the one that is failing on you the only place I know of where you can get one would be on eBay.

 

L54618-001 - 512GB Pcie Nvme + 32GB 3DXPOINT Drive SSD | eBay

 

I believe that either Samsung drive would outperform the Intel drive.

 

Below is the link to the service manual:

Do you have a installation guide for the drive?

 

I wanted to know if I could use this is a guide but it's from a different model of the laptop .
