Hi:

There are two types of M.2 SSD's.  M.2 is just the form factor of the slot.

There are NVMe and SATA M.2 SSD's.

Your notebook's M.2 slot will support both a NVMe or a SATA 2280 SSD.

NVMe SSD's have faster read/write speeds than SATA SSD's have.

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types:

thank you mate
are you sure? Because i don't know any technical information about SSD's 
I still don't know if it 2280 or 2260 or what? and (P)(C)(I)(e) x2 or x4 or what?
i don't know what all these numbers.. i will put just the Operating System ( Microsoft Windows 10 64-Bit) and some programs on it so i think 250gb or 500gb will be great for it .. and if you can recommend to me (N)(V)(M)(e) that compatible with my laptop it would be great mate

You're very welcome.

Yes, I am positive your notebook's M.2 slot supports 2280 NVMe SSD's.

Recommendations:  Samsung 980 (not 980 Pro) or the Western Digital Blue SN570.

They come in 250 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB storage capacities.

The 2242, 2260 2280 are just the different lengths of the drives.

22= 22mm wide.  They are all 22mm wide.

42, 60, 80 = 42mm, 60mm, 80mm in length.

The most common size which is what your notebook uses is 2280
