and will 120gb be ok for windows and some program as a 1 tb hdd will be running in parallel.

So wont it fit no more than windows, as windows is 40gb and would be better than hdd and will 70 TBW will be enough

I would save up Windows may only be ~40 GB for you now but consider updates etc. It is likely as well you will have NVIDIA/AMD drivers on that drive. An extra few pounds/dollars could net you significantly more storage in the long run.

That's a SATA interface drive. It will always run at SATA III speeds (600 MB/s) despite being plugged in to m.2. You would just be better off buying a 2.5" 250GB SSD instead of paying extra for the M.2 variant, you would get the same speeds and twice the storage.

I've to install it in a laptop so the 2.5" sata slot is occupied by the hard drive

would it be fine to install in a cd/dvd sata. if it is I would need a casing for installing the ssd, so that would be the same price of the m.2

Where are you located? In the US, the price of a 120GB M.2 SSD starts at $23ish, while a 240GB can be had for $30, which is a very small difference. 240GB 2.5" SSDs cost even less, $25 or $26 to start.

 

I would just wait a few days until you have literally $7 more for twice the storage space lol

Where do you live that the prices are so weird. $45 should get you a 500GB

India, every computer part is expensive here. and a correction it is $41, and I will buy the 240gig m.2 as the 2.5" would be the same price if I equate in the price of the drive caddy and the 2.5"

Hmm, I don't know if that's true. Here's a WD Green 240 M.2 on the indian Amazon for for 2500 INR, which is $34 usd.
