Does the Hewlett-Packard Laptop 17-cp0xxx Take an NVMe SSD?
Hewlett-Packard Laptop 17-cp0xxx
NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.
- Reports
- 141
- Saw NVMe
- 92%
- Fastest link observed
- PCIe Gen3 ×4
The fastest link we saw in real machines was PCIe Gen3 ×4. That is a floorobserved in field reports, not the slot’s ceiling — a faster drive still works because PCIe is backward compatible; it simply runs at the slot’s speed.
Field reports can’t tell us the physical connector, how many slots are empty, or which M.2 length fits. Check the service manual and the installed drive before you buy.
Reported by field data
- Storage controller:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
- Platform:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Renoir/Cezanne Root Complex
- Drives seen:
- SK hynix Gold P31/BC711/PC711 NVMe Solid State Drive, SanDisk Ultra 3D / WD PC SN530, IX SN530, Blue SN550 NVMe SSD (DRAM-less), Silicon Motion SM2263EN/SM2263XT (DRAM-less) NVMe SSD Controllers
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
Capacities seen
- 1 TB (75%)
- 2 TB (25%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.

How we know
This answer is derived from 141 independent hardware reports for the Hewlett-Packard Laptop 17-cp0xxx, of which 92% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
