Hey Guys!

I am about to buy a SSD, but not sure if it is compatible with my laptop.
My laptop is a ASUS ASUSPRO P4540UQ-GQ0183.

The SSD that I want to buy: http://

Picture of my SSD slot: http://

The measures are fine. It should fit into my machine, the only thing I am not sure about is the connection type.

Thanks in advance!

From the information that I can get, the M.2 slot is a SATA slot. Therefore the SSD that you want isn't compatible. You would need either the 2.5" or M.2 variety of the Crucial BX-500, Samsung EVO-860, etc...

I guess this one would be fine, am I right?

This one has M2 Sata connection type
 


Any M.2 SSD will work. I'd recommend this model for capacity and price.
