If your laptop's motherboard can support M.2, it supports all M.2s.

This video tells you all you need to know about M.2, and should give you any answers you seek regarding form factors and compatibility. if you have further questions feel free to ask:

That is not true. You should also take a look at that video =)

I've never used a M.2 but I've been told by multiple people here that all M.2s are the same size/usage/whatever.

I was just explaining myself to the other guy, I wasn't asking if it was true or not.

well the short answer is that there are many varying lengths and connector types for m.2 devices. alot of the SSD's tend to be compatible with alot of boards, but its definitely not a "one size fits all" sort of thing. Should definitely take a look at that video =)

Hi

 

You should be able to find if and what M.2 devices does your laptop support in its spec sheet. 

It appears that it supports the 2260 dimensions as well as it supports PCIe-based SSDs. You will need to check with the manufacturer if you can use the NVMe protocol or if you are limited to the AHCI setting. 

 

@Jed M

M.2 do have different sizes (2260 being one of them) which indicate the length and the width of the SSD.

Also, M.2 SSDs' performance varies a lot depending on which bus they are using (SATA or PCIe) and which protocol they are using (AHCI or NVMe). 

 

What do you do on that laptop?

I assumed the M.2280, etc. were all the same size.

The numbers after the M.2 indicate the size of the drive (length and width). There are different sizes and some motherboards can't fit all of them.
