Product: 15t-bs000
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am trying to upgrade the SSD on my laptop: 15t-bs000. The Crucial website cannot confirm that their SSD is compatible with my laptop.

 

The current SSD on my laptop is: SanDisk SD8SN8U-128G-1006 (SSD)

 

I am looking at

 

1. Crucial MX 500 M.2 SATA SSD. 

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX500-500GB-2280SS-Internal/dp/B077SQ8J1V

 

2. Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - CT500MX500SSD1

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX500-500GB-NAND-Internal/dp/B0786QNS9B

 

Is either one of these compatible with my laptop? The first one has the M.2 connection type, which is the SSD I have on the laptop currently. 

 

If the second SSD is compatible, I would have to use an appropriate adapter cable for the M.2 connector, since it 2.5 inch Drive with a different connector. Can you suggest the right adapter cable?

 

Thanks!

Hi:

 

If your notebook currently has a 128 GB M.2 SSD, the first one you listed would work.

 

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX500-500GB-2280SS-Internal/dp/B077SQ8J1V

 

You don't want to go through the hassle and expense of buying parts to add so it will fit a 2.5" SSD.

 

You may not even be able to find them for sale.

 Crucial MX 500 M.2 SATA SSD. 

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX500-500GB-2280SS-Internal/dp/B077SQ8J1V

 

The above worked as Paul suggested. 

 

The clone using the free version of Acronis True Image for Crucial, using normal settings, failed and I had to resort to the boot option described below to get it to work.
