R relztrah Contributor Joined Mar 25, 2019 Posts 164 Sep 25, 2023 #1 I have an old HP ProOne desktop machine that looks like it has an M.2 slot on the mobo. The product specifications seem to indicate that it indeed has an M.2 slot of some kind or anothers. But I'm not familiar with M.2 drives and before I buy one, I want to make sure that the mobo will in fact accommodate one. There's not screw to hold it down so I'm not sure. If indeed I can put one in there, what type should I get? I know there are different varieties of M.2 drives. Thanks in advance for any help.
