Hi Folks 😉
I think, that someone here, makes a big mistake, there is a terrible confusion, to find the right M.2 SSD.
Here, I give you my questions:
1.) The M.2 that's fit in the slot (notch) are NVMe but if I understand correctly, that an NVMe SSD, won't function in my Folio 9480m! (Please see the attached Photos)
2.) No one, can give me the exact technology (Not Brand or Model) from the M.2, that works in my Folio 9480m!
3.) Can I operate a SSD SATA 2.5 (256Gb) together with a M.2 (two discs, C:\ and D:\)?
4..) What's about the Flash Module (256Gb), can I operate two SSD (2.5" and M.2) together with an Flash Module?
5.) Which technology makes my Notebook faster, the Flash Module or the M.2? (I have already the HP S700 SSD (500Gb) with Windows 10 x64 mounted.
I'm read carefully the MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE GUIDE (HP Folio 9480m - c05228980.pdf), but I can't found the exact specifications and answers, that what i'm look for.
I ask you kindly, please give me the right answers of my question, so that I don't lose my money because I bought the wrong technology.
In advance, thank you very much for your help and, please have a nice day
Sincerely

Hi Folks
...ah, I understand, the M.2 is a NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor)! 😃
Ok, two of my questions (Q1 and Q2) are resolved...
Now, what's about the word "TOGETHER"?
SSD 2.5" + M.2 NGFF and/or SSD.2.5 + M.2 NGFF + Flash Cache Module?
Ok Ok, I understand, M.2 or "Flash Cache Module" because they use the same slot, what I confused, is the Huawei GPS Module P/N 51070GBA, I thought, that this was the Flash Cache Module... but, this module has a NGFF slot too... ups, whats happen, if I connect a second NGFF M.2 SSD in this slot? (Please see the attached Photos).
Thank you very much for your answer and, please have a nice day
Sincerely
