Got a used HP Probook laptop. Just needs a new drive. HP specs say it has an m.2 2280 slot. So that's what I ordered. Guess I needed to look closer.
edit: Thanks for all the info, guys. Different types of keys are explained here. Gonna have to look for a sketchy no-name brand.
The port is a B key m.2, while the ssd is an M key m.2
B keys are used in SATA m.2 ssds, while M keys are pcie nvme m.2 ssds. You bought an nvme m.2 ssd, but needed a sata m.2 ssd.
(You can tell by how there are 28 pins on that side of the port, and 29 on the ssd. That matches b and m keys, respectively)
Concussions are serious business. Stay safe.
Here's more info on the types of keys.
~~I'm going to look for an adapter. ~~
In your case, an adapter wouldn't really be possible. The other way around maybe would have been, but adapting Sata to pcie just isn't possible. Your best bet would be to return that ssd and buy a sata m.2 one.
Ok, sketchy no-name brand it is, then. One of these perhaps?
Try looking here
I got the laptop free so a sketchy no-name drive is fine for my needs.
You COULD have gotten a 2230 which is smaller, and gotten a 3d printed filler part to fill the space. I did that with one of my laptops because the 2242 is a pain to find.
No diss. I read that slot comment above you and went, "yep, yep, yep, makes sense. Man our standards are often dumb."
Laughed with joy at your comment, because I totally get how foreign this shit is to so many people. It's like if I walked up to a building engineer asking how they know that iron beam is safe for another 50 years via their skills and I'd just be like "......do what now?"
Back in the 80s & 90s you had to configure settings like IRQ and bad sectors.
And jumpers and terminators and make sure your SCSI IDs don't conflict!
Umm-mmm, you said what's now a bad word because - Robert Plant is a liar - words never have two meanings.
They said the b SATA m2 SSD key NVMe AFR actuator clusters the cache in m.2 U.2 mSATA PCIe made a SATA lata gata when she said 2.5" wasn't big enough but 3.5" was too much and LBA LP MTTR spindles the motor with 28 pins when it lost a pin while bowling for transfer rate cause you failed to defragment your USB-connected PCIe Gen 4 pokemon with AHCI finding IOPs over 9000 so the HDD Teraflopped into the EDSFF pool and RAMmed itself 6 feet under.
/s?
He gets it!
SATA= Slow (Max 6 Gbps) PCIe = Fast (Max > 100 Gbps in theory)
This is the maximum rate from the drive to the motherboard. Many drives are fast enough that SATA works become the bottleneck. With PCIe, the drive can run at its full speed, whatever that may be.
Another thing to watch out for is single-sided vs double-sided. Many laptops have flush mounted m.2 slots that won't fit an SSD with chips on both sides of the board.
