Not for the boot drive, your boot drive is a M.2 SATA. You should have a secondary storage drive (regular SATA) and you could use it there if you don't have one. You didn't give the whole model number so I can't look up what you have!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As I understand your laptop has one traditional SATA 2 slot and 4 PCI-e M.2 slots. If you looking to replace the 128GB M.2 you have a few options some of which requires that you to install the operating system back on Option 1 Add this drive to the laptop second bay (SATA2 stot) and move date from the 128GB to free up space Option 2 Add this drive to the laptop second bay (SATA2 stot) and make it the primary drive on the bios, this will make you computer slower as PCI-e M.2 slot is faster Option 3 Get a larger PCI-e M.2 solid state drive and replace the 128gb Option 4 Get an additional PCI-e M.2 solid state drive to add to one of the other 3 M.2 slots. You’ll have to move data (pictures, documents, music, etc) from the 128GB to free up space. Since in this option you don’t need to install the OS it’s probably the less challenging while maintaining the speed.
