Upgrade p6681 storage to an M.2 NVME drive

[harrystacey]

Hello, I'm currently on a 1tb Hard Drive with my medion erazer p6681 (MSN: 30022543). I wanted to upgrade to an M.2 nvme to use as a boot dive to speed it up, however I'm not sure which format of m.2 drive to buy.

Does the laptops motherboard support a key of "B + M", "M" on its own or just "B" on its own?

Length wise, is it a 2280 drive that it would support or shorter?

And finally, whats the max storage amount that I could install with the m.2 drive?

If someone could help me out with this, that would be amazing!

Cheers, Harry

Hello @harrystacey and welcome,

The board is the same: Pegatron E15KR.

So would this be fine seeing as its an M.2 2280 sata drive?

Hi @harrystacey 

officially up to 512GB, so it comes from this post:

you can try 1TB, it`s your risk
