Been using my PCS Optimus series laptop for a couple of months now and planning to add m.2 drive to it in the near future.
Can't figure out what m.2 drives are supported though.
That's what specification say:
M.2 Port2 x M.2 Ports (1st for WLAN, 2nd for SSD M.2 2280 Card with SATA / PCIe Gen3 x4 interface)

Would Samsung 250 GB 1.8-Inch Series 960 EVO M.2 2280 NVMe work?

What are your thoughts on the best m.2 for a reasonable price? (240gb and more)

This means a 960 Evo, or 970 Evo now that those are out too, is fine.

If you're happy with a Sata speed SSD (in M.2 form) then you can get a 500gb Crucial MX500 for £100 or so. If you want to go for something fast and NVMe, a 500gb 970 Evo is ~£160.

Hi Oussebon, thanks for your reply.
I just got confused with the type of connections that my mobo can support as i found that there're M key, B key and M+B keys.
