    I'm curious if anyone has come across this one. I have a Thinkpad Yoga 260 but I've noticed this with thinkpads in general. On crucials site they don't list their M.2 drives as compatible upgrades. They list the older Mx200 drive (which isn't sold anymore and out of stock) as compatible but not any of the mx300 drives.

    Now the M.2 slot in the Thinkpad supports Sata and NVME drives so it didn't make sense why the crucial drives wouldn't be compatible. Talking to crucial support they told me that their M.2 drives weren't rated for enterprise servers so they weren't compatible with the thinkpads.

    So I thought I would check here and see any anyone has experience with these drives and why they might not be compatible with thinkpads.
