So I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S-14IKB Laptop which has an optane memory installed in it. I have been wondering which m.2 ssd can fit in it as the optane memory is said to be nvme. Here are some pictures of it.

and i have found this ssd on amazon: Crucial P3 Plus 500GB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 5000MB/s - CT500P3PSSD8
So i am curious if this ssd is compatible in place of optane as their heads are not the same.
Oh and in lenovo site it has description of Lenovo SSD 16G,M.2,2280,PCIe3x2,STD,INTEL. so i searched "m.2 2280 and found the above ssd"

Here it says, M.2 NVME and M.2 SATA drives are supported.
So basically any M.2 drive would work.

It's compatible.
I'd go with PCIE 3.0 drives though (like Samsung 970 evo).
PCIE 4.0 and PCIE 5.0 drives run hoter than PCIE 3.0 drives.
Your laptop cooling system may not be able to handle cooling for PCIE 4.0/5.0 drives.
