HP Recommended
Product: EliteBook 740 g2

I have a HP Elitebook 740 G2 laptop and i want to upgrade it with a SSD disk via the m.2 slot.

The m.2 Slot is 2260 (60mm long) and has one notch (which suggests its a PCI based not SATA type). Can you suggest any compatible 120/250GB disk so i can just see the type that i should be looking for. I found a lot of 2262 m.2 SSD like:

 

Transcend 256GB m.2 2260 SATA

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-256-SATA-MTS600-TS256GMTS600/dp/B00KLTPT6A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&q...

 

and 

 

Cruical256GB m.2 2260 SATA

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Technology-2-Inch-Internal-CT250MX200SSD6/dp/B00RZ6GO98/ref=sr_1_4?s=p...

 

But they are both SATA (not PCIe) and with 2 notches instead of one.

 

The only PCIe based SSD m.2 and with one notch that i found is the Kingston Predator 240GB but its 2282(80mm long) and it wont fit. 

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-Predator-SHPM2280P2-240G/dp/B00V01C376/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8...

 

I found some info that any 2260 SATA m.2 disk woud fit and work, but in that way i wont be using the full potential of the PCIe lane and speed of the disk (as in the Predtor disk).

 

Any sugestions for a propper PCIe based with one notch 2262 drive?
