compatibility of M2 SATA with M2 PCIE

[Nikunj_Vadher]

I am having HP Pavilion x360 13-u135TU with M2 Sata 256GB SSD. I want to upgrade it to 512GB and want to buy PCIE M2 SSD.

I am confused whether PCIE M2 will be supported into SATA M2 port or not ?

Thank You.

No hard and fast rule. M.2 is M.2....the ports are physically the same. The motherboard can be configured to take SATA only or either PCIe/NVME or SATA. The SSDs look a bit different with SATA usually being B + M and PCIe being M keyed, but either will slide into the M.2 port. In your particular case, your model can ONLY accept the SATA type M.2 SSD NOT the PCIe/NVME kind. Sorry.
