Hi, I have been asked to upgrade an M.2 SSD to a bigger size and possibly a 1 Tb HDD to a SSD. My knowledge of the newer M.2 type drives is severely limited, so I'd like some advice please ...
The M.2 Drive in the laptop (which I do NOT have in my possession, so this is the only information I can provide) is a Kingston PCI Express 128Gb U-SNS8154P3/128GJ ... I can see that this is an Interface Type NVMe 1.2 / PCIe Gen. 3 ... am I restricted as to the replacement Drive I can put in or does it just have to ne NVMe and M.2 ?!?
I am also concerned that if I buy something like a WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD, which can download at 7000MB/s will that speed be allowed by the Motherboard or would I be wasting money ?
Thanks for any help & advice here
