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.

I literally ran into this myself recently replacing the SSD inside an old Chromebox.

I was literally unaware that it was an entirely different spec based on keying.

Further, it seems I can't find any reputable companies that make a SATA M.2 SSD in the 2242 size anymore. I can only find old Western Digitals that are more than double the cost of an equivalent NVMe simply because WD doesn't actually make SATA M.2s in that size anymore.

The only companies that make them in that size are all weird bogus never-heard-of-them-and-the-reviews-are-terrible.

Here's more info on the types of keys.

sata m.2 ssd

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ok, sketchy no-name brand it is, then. One of these perhaps?

The B+M key took a BM on my heart.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

You should see a doctor. That shouldn't be possible.

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I got the laptop free so a sketchy no-name drive is fine for my needs.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.
