“Please, I need to buy a new SSD for this laptop, but there are a lot of different models. Can you say what is the correct model? Is this compatible? Samsung 960 EVO Series - 1TB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E1T0BW).”

I'm sure its compatible, being it already will come with an NVME SSD. The question is, whether it's necessary. There's no data on the model number, brand, or speed of the SSD that comes stock with this new 8th gen i7 machine. I even downloaded the hardware maintenance manual and there are part numbers for all the sizes of SSD available in this new unit, but even going to the HP Parts Depot and putting the number in, it doesn't show a photo of it or tell anything else about it other than the size which you already know. So we'll see what shows up. If they are shipping with Samsung sm961 drives, then there's no need to upgrade it unless you need a larger size. Please... If someone actually has one of the new 8th generation machines, or even has one in their store, go into device manager and list the model number it shows for the installed SSD.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Device manager shows that mine has an installed 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 3rd Gen SSD from Toshiba, model number THNSN5512GPUK. I purchased it in Maryland over this past Black Friday weekend, so it is probably one of the early manufacturing lots for this laptop (with the i7-8550). Ymmv because HP may source SSDs from multiple suppliers, and so the part may vary by geography and manufacturing date, but hopefully this helps answer your question.
