A while back, I purchased a Western Digital 500GB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, M.2 2280 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073SBX6TY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). As can be seen, it is 500GB. Can I use this in my GX-281-UR11? If so, can I use it to replace my HDD?

    Yup, your M.2 slot supports SATA3 drives, so that should work fine. You can replace your HDD or repurpose it for data storage.

    May I ask one follow-up question?

    The capacity doesn't matter, right? The fact that it is a 500 GB, and not a 256?

    Sorry if that seems dense; just wanted to make sure.

    Yeah, capacity doesn't matter until you get to big for NTFS, 16 exabytes IIRC. :)
