[Blueskies360]

Good afternoon, i’ve a question to how to choose and SSD m.2 for my Notebook. I’ve a pavilion 15 ck020nl and in my notebook there’s a slot like in pic attached. I don’t know which ssd to buy between these two.

Thanks anticpately

You have already figured out where the slot is:

M.2 slot circled in red

Your laptop can take either a SATA M.2 SSD 2280 or a PCIe/NVME. Both of the SSDs in the pictures you posted are NVME kind. 

The Kingston is an odd one because it is NVME but is a B + M key which you more usually associate with SATA. The other one is a more normal form factor but a manufacturer I do not know. Of those 2, I would get the Kingston but if you can find a Samsung 970 Evo or Evo Plus that is what I really recommend. 

Post back with any other questions but please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

first of all thanks for answer. In any case could I use ssd type B or type B + M with this slot?

Either M key or B + M key will fit in the slot. As I said above most NVME M.2 SSDs are "M" keyed but not all; a few are B + M. All SATA M.2s I have ever seen are B + M. Your laptop will work with NVME so you do not want a SATA.
