I am looking to upgrade the NVMe SSD Drive to a bigger drive. (currently has a Toshiba 256Gb unit). I notice that the current NVMe drive is both B & M keyed. Does the replacement NVMe drive have to be B & M keyed as well?? Most of the replacement drives I've seen are just M keyed (I believe).
Thanks.

Hi:
I am surprised that your notebook's NVMe SSD has two notches.
As you indicated, most only have one notch.
When I google the part numbers for both of the 256 GB NVMe SSD's listed in chapter 3 of the service manual, the illustrations show the drives having one notch.
You can install a single notch NVMe SSD in your notebook.

You're very welcome.
My guess is that is a PCIe 3.0 x2 NVMe SSD and you can install a faster performing PCIe 3.0 x 4 SSD so it uses all 4 PCI express lanes the slot should have.
The manual indicates that x2 and x4 NVMe SSD's were offered in the model series.
