[SOLVED] SSD NVME not compatible?

[b22222c]

Hi, i replace my NVME SSD, it fit but the point its different... Is this compatible? The older is the right one... Thanks

What is the specific make/model of both of these?

What motherboard or laptop is this going on?

Its a HP X360 Spectre, i read now that two holes its Sata and one Hole is NVME...
If a laptop read NVME should also read sata, no? I am trying to format but i says that dont have a boot device...

No.
An M.2 port is NOT always compatible with both protocols. Laptops, rarely. Your HP M.2 port is NVMe only.

Your current SSD has an M type connector that works with 4 PCI-e lanes. The new SSD has a B & M type connector that works with 2 PCI-e lanes. The new SSD is a WD SN520 and as far as I can find it's a PCI-e3.0 x2 SSD so the 2 PCI-e lanes of the B&M type connector is correct. Probably the new SSD is slower than your old one because half the lanes is half the speed. Performance wise it's a downgrade because SN520 is a very low-end DRAM less NVME SSD.

Edit: the answer to your question: yes, it's compatible.
