Need help determining whether a particular SSD is compatible with my n
I just bought an ASUS ZenBook UX305CA, and I'm contemplating upgrading the 256GB Micron SSD to a Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD (2.5", SATA3).
While this isn't technically a Windows 10 issue, I can't post on the ASUS support forums, and their website doesn't seem to want to accept my serial # for product registration purposes. I figured this would be the next best place, since the notebook is running Windows 10.
The product specs page on ASUS website says the drive slot is M.2.2280, but also says it is a SATA3 interface.

However the Amazon sales page (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-512GB-...50+evo+pro+512) says the drive is SATA 3 but makes no mention of M.2. I know some SSDs are M.2 and others are SATA3. I cannot find a M.2 version of this drive. It is 7mm so I know it will fit. I just don't want to burn money on a SSD that I may later need to refund because it won't fit in my notebook. I also know there are SATA3 to M.2 converter kits.
Thanks for any help!
