Got a used HP Probook laptop. Just needs a new drive. HP specs say it has an m.2 2280 slot. So that’s what I ordered. Guess I needed to look closer.

edit: Thanks for all the info, guys. Different types of keys are explained here. Gonna have to look for a sketchy no-name brand.

    Reading up on HP ProBooks and it seems like they primarily use M2 SATA.

    EDIT: Wow, trying to find in-depth tech specs on HP laptops is horrible. I know less now than when I started looking.

      The trick with HP anything is to look for the quickspec . It’s stupidly the most detailed doc they produce

      Because they love to change the URLs of their website every year. For an old product everything a search engine gives you is an error 404.

      You need the service manual, and in the service manual there’s all the detailed specs and variants and exact product numbers of supported components

      I know the feeling. I logged into HP hoping to look up the serial number. All it would tell me is that the warranty is expired.
