Ssd vostro 5471 upgrade

Hi cn someone please help.

I have a Dell vostro 5471 8th gen I5 and I want to upgrade it with an ssd but I'm confused as to the compatability.

I know the form factor is 2280 but what key does it support?

Does it support 3d nand sata with b/m key?

Does it support m key nvme gen3?

Will it support nvme with b/m key?

Will it support both?

Thanks in advance

It will take either M.2 SATA or M.2 NVMe. Whatever internal flash chip technology the drive uses is up to the drive's own controller -- the external interface is what matters.

Do note that this model supports GT2 power saving mode only - not high performance mode, so you'll see about half the speed a PCIe 3 X4 drive is capable of delivering with this model system.

Thank you. Much appreciated. So it'd still be better to fit in a nvme ssd over a m. 2 sata ssd right? Price difference e between the two is only around 15-20 dollars
