No that is m.2 NGFF with SATA interface. i have the same laptop but it did came with a connector. As where to get the connector I don't know but before I try to solder on something I would check if the BIOS and mainboard support the m.2, or that is just a leftover placeholder for a different model.

Jose_49 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Woot. I never updated into this. I ended up buying an m.2 SSD and it's been working like a charm! It's going to run for its second year now! The only bad thing was that I bought it longer than it should (but it works anyways). So it doesn't fit correctly (It's kind of diagonally positioned). Thanks everyone for your response! goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
