Some laptops can be difficult to open. Then you need to clone the existing drive with Windows to the ssd.

Does anyone know if this is compatible with those direkt tek 2 in 1 laptops that have been on front page recently?
Also - is it as simple as plug and play? Not a huge tech guy here

What drive did you put in it? I think every XPS 13 since 2015 has NVMe stock except for the lowest spec model.

Battery life and heat also (for laptops, obviously), in addition to above comments. I put a m.2 NVME drive in my XPS 13 and will be replacing it with a SATA m.2 SSD shortly for this very reason.

Why use a SATA M.2: two good reasons:
1. No SATA power cable run

Yeah, but why do SATA m.2? If you're going m.2, you'll just go for NVME.
