Is this "Crucial MX500 (1000GB, M.2 2280)" compatible with my 15" Alienware notebook (2015). In my order (from 2015), the SSD only says - 256GB m2.80 NGFF TLC SSD.
I found a link on the net which recommends this SSD - https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/alienware-15/CT11445232

First I wanted to ask whether this is the case or not.

Accepted Answer

It will fit without any problems, but this is a slow SATA SSD you need a fast PCIe SSD e.g. like this [Crucial P1 (1000GB, M.2 2280)](https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/crucial-p1-1000gb-m2-2280-ssd-10305070?tagIds=76-535.)
