I have a HP laptop and the following SSD installed:
Item#: MZVLB256HAHQ-000H1 Condition: Refurbished
Capacity: 256GB
Interface: M.2 PCIe NVMe
Form Factor: 2280

I now want to replace it with Samsung SSD 980 (1000 GB, M.2). The only difference I see besides the size is
Interface: M.2 M Key

I can't do that much with it now.
Is that compatible?

Accepted Answer

M-Key is normal for M.2 PCIe x4 NVMe. Your existing SSD also has this, see here and here:
