HP OMEN 15 (new style): I want to buy an OMEN of HP, but HP makes it difficult to understand this situation of HARD drive.

I spent the last hour trying to understand it and I hope someone here can answer my question.

If I configure and buy a harbinger of 15 HP with 16 GB of RAM and 512 m 2 GB PCIe SSD NVMe fully spec'd with the best i7 and 965 m 4 GB, I'll be able to add on an extra HDD as a secondary drive? I don't care if it's mechanics or SSD for high school, but if I buy an omen of HP configured with just the m2 PCIe NVMe SSD can later, I add to the system or will I be returned on a single hard drive internally for ever?

I found a lot of configurations all over the internet, but no details, so I decided to say F #@! He and just build a machine from HP directly and know exactly what is inside, information is not really available anywhere and I get why, it cancels a guarantee to change a system, but the information readers still my decision to buy a machine that I can update or not.

I know I can buy their free model labelled 'value' with the 1 TB or 2 TB + m2 SATA SSD but that term kind of scares me in a computer in this price range and SATA has been pretty slow for standards with the 128 GB SSD SATA SSD drives. HP also seem to leave no mention that it is SATA on the page of product information, that I found convenient.

So is there someone who has successfully added a secondary drive to the only version m2 512 GB PCIe SSD NVMe? Or someone who has added a M.2 SSD PCIe to one of these models 'value' that pair the 5400 or 7200 RPM with a SATA SSD of m2? This stuff m2 is kind of a blur without real reason.

The real sales staff seemed confused that I even asked on a hard drive...

Have you ever seen the Manual:

Repair manuals

A couple of things stand out. The slot for the WSSD m2 drive can take a SATA or a PCi-e version. There is only one slot m2 and you have the opportunity to each of the types of player, so that they are interchangeable.

See page 33. The m2 slot is just to the left of the battery. The drive Bay is above the right side of the laptop battery can physically handle both types of readers at the same time.

The big problem is that the hard drive rails (in brackets) are "not spared." Page 18. This means that you can not order from HP. You might find a third-party provider who has but, seriously good luck with that.

So I think you'd better get one of these:

1 TB hard drive (7200 RPM) 9.5 mm + 256 GB SSD PCIe NVMe TLC M.2

OR

1 TB hard drive (7200 RPM) 9.5 mm + 128 m 2 GB SATA - 3 SSD (value)

If you do not order it with a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, it is not possible to get the parts to add one in. If you are happy with a 256 GB PCIe, then the first configuration will be fine. I have a G3 15 Zbook which has a similar setup, and I got a 2.5-inch SATA SSD 512 gig in the hard drive Bay and then a m2 of Samsung PM951 NVME (pci-e), which is the boot drive.

I have the 256 GB version, but most high is 512. The combination gives me lots of storage (for me)... 3/4 gig and the drive of NVME m2 is quickly sick. For you, a 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM and then a NVME m2 could be just the ticket. If you get the second configuration, you can run the 128 gig SATA m2 (of a perhaps $ 50 retail value) and replace it with a model IS 512.

Although technically only an authorized technician is supposed to remove the back cover, it is not hard to do and you can probably (no guarantee) do it without voiding the warranty.
