Hi:

 

Your notebook only has support for M.2 SATA SSD's.

The Crucial drive should have fit just fine in the slot.


It just won't work.

So which brand do you recommend dear ?

Many thanks for your fast response

You're very welcome:

 

If you can get this drive in Egypt, it would be the best one to have, in my opinion.

 

This is the 500 GB model for example:

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/...

I think it will not fit to the slot

If it is a M.2 2280 size SSD it will fit in the slot.

 

The one notch will fit where the key in the slot is and the other notch just doesn't make contact with the pins in the SSD slot.

 

What I don't know is...does the drive go over or under those two ribbon cables?

 

It looks like it would go over the two cables, but you would know better than I would.
