    This device has an M.2 port with SATA interface, therefore you should look for M.2 SATA SSD.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Yes, the laptop's port is an M key. You can install either M key or M+B key, both will work.
