Question 2

does this fit in a laptop M2 slot?

Accepted Answer

It depends, but my guess is probably not, because the heatsink sticks up a bit. Not as much as most other M2 heatsinks I've used, but about a 1/4 inch or so, which could be too tall for a laptop slot.

Question 9

Is it possible to take off the heat sink and still use the SSD itself?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your motherboard has it's own heat sinks you can remove this one and use those instead, but this SSD DOES NEED a heat sink.  Don't run it without one.  If you do this, do NOT take the sticker on the chips off, just the heat sink.

However, if you don't need the heat sink, you should just buy the version of this SSD that does not have the heat sink.
