Is this machine compatible with both NVMe SSD and SATA SSD on the M2 port? Thank you.
This machine is compatible NVMe and Sata drive.
mine came with m2 2242 ssd and is reaching its lifespan, can I replace it with m2 2280?
Yes you can but before you do this… make sure to backup all data before doing the upgrade. When you will install the new ssd make you sure it is Nvme gen 3 and not gen4.
Samsung 980 is recommended ssd for the upgrade…
any reason why I cannot install nvme gen4? its the same price as gen3
isnt it backwards compatible?
