Agree with you.

I have recently upgraded the VAIO PRO 13 with Samsung XP941 AHCI M.2 PCIe 2.0 x4 – model number MZHPU512HCGL. This is the only one that will work. I cloned it with EaseUS tool and worked perfectly.

You do need to rest the BIOS to defaults for the laptop to recognize the SSD.

I have read all the upgrade stuff on
the web and still went with the Gen 3 card, for my Pro 13 Ultrabook upgrade
from 128G – 512G. It simply didn’t work!!!!!

Card tried Samsung SM951M.2PCIe 512G original card Samsung XP941 M.2 PCIe 128G

Back up & restore, clean install or cloning. I
wasted days trying everything possibly posted on the web threads.
I got Ram City to replace it with the 512G Gen 2 card (XP941 M.2 PCIe 512G ) and everything
worked first time! They say there is no difference between the drivers for the 2 cards but Sony must have something
somewhere that is stopping this card to working. Issue – wouldn’t recognise the drive when booting, even when full clone – could view the drive as an external SSD connected by a USB adaptor no problem at all.

Hope this helps
someone out there Steve

yea it actually worked and works great!
I have replaced to Intel 7260NGW AC for a month now and it works as charm.

it kept disconnecting with any other network so i had to use usb wifi adapter but it never got disconnected nor had to install driver all the time over and over for using bluetooth and wifi/

The Sony VAIO runs off of the Samsung XP941 and is a M.2 PCIe laptop, unless it is the SATA M.2 version.. As such, the only I guarantee that would work with that system would be another Samsung XP941….unless of course it was one that was shipped with a M.2 SATA SSD to which, any similar SATA 3 M.2 SSD would work. The size should matter.
