Hello,
Recently I discover that in my pc there is possibility to add an ssd m2, and I have some question for you:
1) Which ssd can my pc support : m2 sata or m2 nvme?
2) and searching in the web i found that ssd m2 can reach also high temperature level so is a good choice upgrade my pc with an m2 or it's better change my hdd with a normal 2.5" sdd?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Service Manual:
NVME/PCIe OR SATA M.2 will work.
Yes M.2 and 2.5 inch SATA SSDs can warm up like a processor because there is a lot of electrons moving around inside of them but they are not hotter than a hard drive. The case has plenty of airflow to handle either kind although the 2.5 inch has an aluminum box around it which would help wick away heat I think, but they are all SATA and slower than an NVME M.2. I have had lots of laptops with SSDs of all kinds and never had a heat issue because of them.
Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the answer you needed.
