Smart hard disk error (301)

[WJongman]

Mij laptop shows me the 'SMART Hard disk Error (301)' message at startup for some time now.

Although it is till under warranty I bought a new Intel series 6 M.2 256 GB SSD as a replacement.

When I install this Intel SSD it isn't recognised bij the system. It tells me there is no hard disk present.

What could be the problem here?

Your laptop takes a SATA type M.2 drive and the Intel Series 6 is an NVME/PCIe type M.2. The drive you have installed is simply not compatible with the laptop. 

Post back if you need some help finding a drive that will work.

Thanks for the reply. THis really is the answer. I just bought my replacement SSD too quick and without proper research.

Problem solved.
