HI:

 

I just purchased teh Z240 tower workstation, and one of the selling points was the M.2 slot.

 

I purchased a 256 M.2 SSD with (I believe) a SATA interface.  I am wondering if the Z240 does not support SATA over M.2, because the computer is not recognizing it.

 

It's a Micron MTFDDAY256MBF Which I believe is the OEM version of a Crucial device - I picked it up at Micro Center.

 

Any Ideas?

HI.

 

If you have a slot for an M2Sata, to verify which type of slot is compatible, run this software since there are 3 different types besides its size, length x width:http://eu.crucial.com/eur/en/systemscanner

Expansion Slots
(See system board section
For more details)
1 PCIe Gen3 x16 slot
1 PCIe Gen3 x1 slot / x1 connector
1 PCIe Gen3 x1 slot / x1 connector
1 PCIe Gen3 x4 slot / x16 connector
1 M.2 slot (PCIe Gen3 x4) *
(All slots are Low Profile)
NOTE: The PCIe Gen 3 x16 slot is meant for HP qualified cards, configured or after market. HP does not
Provide warranty support for 3rd party cards.
 M.2 slot supports compatible devices up to 80mm

Thanks for your quick response and link to the Crucial tool

 

Unfortuantely, the tool did not report on the M.2 interface.

 

I also have all the HP relevant manuals but they do not seem very clear.  From the part you referenced, do you think it means that only PCI is support?  If so, that may be the problem, as this is a SATA interfaced drive.
