Question 1

Is this compatible with "MSI 15.6" GE62VR Apache Pro-024 Intel Core i7 6700HQ (2.60 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 12 GB Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop VR Ready - "ONLY @ NEWEGG"" ?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can use this to replace/upgrade the preinstalled 256 SSD that's included with that laptop.  I'm not sure if you can use both SSDs together since I do not know if this laptop has a second m.2 slot that's unoccupied.

Question 2

Will this work in an AUSA UX461UN laptop?

Accepted Answer

I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't take the chance.  WD Black drives in the m.2 form factor are NVMe, which is more likely to work with that laptop.

Question 3

Does the 2280 form factor (m.2) support PCI Express or is it SATA only?

Accepted Answer

2280 form factor supports both SATA and PCI Express modes, depending on motherboard support.  Gigabyte has some models in PCI Express currently that fit.

Question 4

Does this work on the ASUS Strix X99 RGB Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

That motherboard supports one M.2 M Key SSD. This Western Digital Blue option works for both M Key and B Key motherboards. Therefore, as long as this is the only M.2 you use you will be able to use it.

Question 5

What technology does this use? MLC, TLC,  QLC, etc?

Accepted Answer

Hello, This WD Blue 3D NAND M.2 SSD is a TLC drive. Have an eggcellent day! Newegg.com

Question 6

If I buy this as part of a new build, do I need any other type of adapters to use this SSD on a motherboard?

Accepted Answer

This M.2 drive is keyed B+M so it should work in either a B keyed or M keyed slot which covers most modern motherboards. The "2280" is the length of the drive.

Check your motherboards specifications or manual for two things. First look for what key the slot has, if it's M or B you're good to go. Then check the length support and make sure it specified support for 2280. If both of these are true you can implement this drive without any sort of adapter.

Question 7

will this work in acer predator helios 300 with 1tb and 2tb m.2 drives at once?

Accepted Answer

Acer Helios 300 has one free m2.slot. You can put one m2 card in it. There's another bay but it may not be easily replaceable.

Question 8

Can I use this in a MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon Mobo?

Accepted Answer

Should be compatible. I mirrored my old drive to the WD Blue and it works great. Just look up the proper format info for your drive or it will not recognize it.

Question 9

Anyone replaced the HD on Apple Imac with this SSD?  not sure if this format is compatible.

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

It depends if your iMac supports M.2 2280. I'd recommend getting in contact with Apple and provide them with your computer's model. They'll be able to look into it.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Question 10

Can I install this in my 2018 Dell  XPS 15 9570?  I already have a 1TB, but I need more space.

Thank you!

Accepted Answer

The Dell specs of the 9570 say it has "4 lanes of PCI Express Gen 3". If this drive is compatible with PCI Express, maybe it will work. I installed mine in a desktop PC, not a laptop.
