No wonder I’ve seen so many “M.2 SSDs” so cheap lately. They are ‘SATA’ ssds (they have both notches in their connectors, [A and M]), and yield no faster speeds than a typical god’ol SSD connected to the typical SATA 6Gbps connector!
Still, a 128GB ‘M.2 SSD’ for under $50.00 is a good bargain!

I am still confused after reading the article.. mostly about the M and B notch. The picture is not clear and should be labeled “Image 1”, “Image 2”, etc.

@TheSSDReview:disqus I currently have a Sony Vaio Pro 13.

SATA III M.2 SSD Samsung MZNTE128HMGR-000SO is installed inside. Now Im considering whether to buy 256gb ssd or 512 one. I think i found first variant.

However, im very interested which *512gb ssd* will be suitable in my case?

As i figured out, this one might do the trick https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-512GB-PM851-MZ-NTE5120-MZNTE512HMJH-00H1/dp/B01A855VWS/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1458174865&sr=1-1&keywords=mznte512hmjh

What do you think? Is there a possibility, that BIOS drivers won’t recognize it?

In reply to Anas.

The reviews demonstrate performance of a SATA 3 M.2 SSD so I might look at the Micron here:
