Hi:

Your notebook's M.2 slot supports SATA SSD's only, not NVMe.

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types...

Can I get this one https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-860-EVO-Internal-MZ-N6E250BW/dp/B07822Z77M/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keyword...

Yes, that one would be fine.

Allow me to suggest an alternative for you...It is cheaper, has faster read/write speeds and also has a 5 year warranty.

As I can see the only difference i find is that there is dram in the Samsung and no dram in the WD. Does the dram really matter?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I don't believe it matters.

To me what matters is the read/write speeds.

I have the WD Blue 250 GB M.2 SATA SSD in one of my PC's, and it works great.

I have the 2.5" models in a few desktop PC's and a couple of notebook PC's.

However, if you feel better getting the Samsung drive, there is nothing wrong with it.  It is a very popular model.

I was just looking to save you some $ on what I believe is the best performing drive for the price.

Thanks for all the assistance you have been to me. I liked the way you explain. Keep doing it.
