No. I'm not sure of all of the combinations, but I think that M.2 can support both SATA and PCI Express (NVMe), and there are different physical form factors. 2280 (22x80mm) is the most common.
I have a NUC using an 850 EVO m.2 that is SATA, and the 950 Pro is NVMe-only. Both drives are 2280. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Tomporowski Sent: Monday, November 2, 2015 3:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Samsung's 950 Pro M.2 Are all M.2 interfaces created equal?
