Does the Hewlett-Packard Victus by Gaming Laptop 16-r1xxx Take an NVMe SSD?

Hewlett-Packard Victus by Gaming Laptop 16-r1xxx

NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.

Reports
9
Saw NVMe
100%
Fastest link observed
PCIe Gen4 ×4

The fastest link we saw in real machines was PCIe Gen4 ×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:
Intel Corporation Device
Platform:
Intel Corporation Device
Drives seen:
SK hynix Platinum P41/PC801 NVMe Solid State Drive, KIOXIA BG5 (DRAM-less), KIOXIA XG8

Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
