I recently purchased the chromebook. Unfortunately, the purchased configuration includes only 2.5 500GB HDD, which is not enough for me. I absolutely need to put an additional SSD in this laptop, on which I will be able to store, among other things, the operating system. This computer is equipped with two storage slots - SATA II and M2. Unfortunately, I have never used M2 drives before, so the topic is a bit problematic for me. I naively tried to mount into this computer an M2 drive I had at home - unfortunately, it had too long dimensions (80mm) so I had to resign from this solution.
This laptop is designed to mount M2 drives with a length of 60mm. I did some research on the web and getting an M2 drive of exactly that size is virtually impossible. In addition, I was surprised by the multitude of different versions of drives, so I'm completely unsure which one to equip to make sure that it will work. However I have a few unused mSATA drives, so I decided to buy a mSATA->M2 converter, hoping that I can mount a second drive this way.
In my opinion, the important information from the specifications of such a converter is: An adapter allows you to connect a mSATA mPCI-e SSD to a laptop socket with an M.2 NGFF connector Support for M.2 NGFF in formats 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230 with key B or with keys B+M The adapter allows the user to use mSATA SSD as standard on a laptop or desktop with M.2 NGFF connector The adapter does not support Mini PCI-E (PATA), 1.8" Micro SATA, and Airbook SSD
The mSATA drives I own are: SAMSUNG SSD PM851 mSATA SK HYNIX SC210 MSATA
Will plugging any of them into this converter allow me to use them on this laptop?
