Hello, I have an HP Victus 16-r1055nt (9J257EA) model and I would like to know if there is an extra M.2 slot to add an additional SSD.

Hi:

Since your notebook has an Intel Core i7-14700HX processor, it does have support for two M.2 NVMe SSD.

Below is the link to the service manual:

Maintenance and Service Guide Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PCModel numbers: 16-r0xxx

The models with the Intel 'H' series processors only have support for one M.2 NVMe SSD.

See this related discussion:

Thank you so much. What parts should I buy for the upgrade? Can you help me with this for RAM and SSD?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

The PC supports Gen 4.0 NVMe SSDs.

According to the Crucial memory/SSD report you can install NVMe SSDs up to 4 TB and the notebook supports 2 x 32 GB of DDR5-5600MHz memory.

I'd go with the Crucial memory in the amount you want to install.

I think 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) should be enough, but that's up to you.

For a SSD, I recommend a Samsung 980 Pro or the newer Samsung 990 Pro.

Otherwise, the Crucial T500.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

There is also a service teardown video which may be of help to you in addition to the service manual:
