[SOLVED] Can I fit an M2 SATA SSD directly in my laptop's SATA 3 HDD slot?

[F1demon]

I'm upgrading my laptop and instead of using a 120 GB Crucial BX500 SSD in place of the current HDD as a boot disk, I wanted to use an m2 SATA SSD. I understand some say the SATA 3 bus will limit the speeds of both to 6 gbps. However, I just need to know if I can plug an M2 120 gb SATA SSD directly into the HDD SATA 3 slot or will I need to purchase an interface caddy like one does for optical bays etc? Tks!

You will need an adapter, as the number, shape, and size of the pins is fundamentally different.
