Hi,

The M2 slot in your notebook supports M2 SATA3 SSD and much faster M2 PCIe NVMe SSD. Do not worry about keys as both will fit. The size is 2280. So, the best choice is an M2 PCIe NVMe SSD such as the Samsung 970 Evo Plus or similar. There is no limit to capacity.

Examples:

On page 47 of service manual you can see the steps to install the drive

It will give an amazing boost to everyday performance.

 

Hope it helps,

Hi!

One question: how not to worry about the key - if the connector is with the key B, and I buy an SSD with the key M, then I can not insert it?
