Can the laptop take an aditional M.2?

Looks like it can hold two.

it doesn't seem to have a weird heatsink or anything, so it should be, yes.

This drive is gen 4, while your laptop seems to be only compatible with gen 3.

As such you may want to buy a gen 3 drive, as gen 4 would not be used to it's full potential.

 

Otherwise you should be fine with most "normal" (2280) M.2 drives that do not have a massive heat sink.

They are giving 3 yrs of data recovery services, I do music and I have had bad experiences with losing data, had lost ton of projects for real. Hence buying it. Also I'll use it in a gen 4 workstation if I'm able to buy later as a backup drive or something. Do you know till when these nvme ssds won't die??....they give 4-5yrs of warranty but my guess is like at least 8-9 or maybe 10yrs
