If there exists the than it is empty.
yes, I would like to be able to see if there is an empty slot. These very small slots are often hidden :-)
I have only one HDD installed.I am looking at the
online catalogs and see there are two kinds of M2 panelswith 2 and piece plug. are they interchangeable?
nope. You have NGFF/sata ones, nearly identical with usual sata, size excepted, and NVME PCIe, much faster ones. Not compatibles, all m2, may even have the same connector. Some computers may have both interfaces in the same connector, but I never had seen one.

Yep, my mobo uses one connector that supports a 2242/2260/2280/22110 M keyed card. This is a Ryzen board with the M.2 controller on the CPU not the chipset and it supports either PCIe 3.0 x4 (so NVME) or SATA 3.0 SSD's, on an internal switch. Note that if your older board does not support PCIe 3.0 or higher, then NVME is not supported and your SSD will use the much slower AHCI.
I think that hwinfo --pci can see the device, but it is very difficult to identify unless the M.2 is populated. On my machine, it is identified as a "bridge" type device under the CPU (not the chipset) providing an "internal PCIe bridge". If populated, hwinfo --storage should show it using either the ahci (sata or older pcie) or nvme driver. Only the manual/specs can tell you the interfaces and form factors supported.

Thanks! Possibly openeing up laptop and cheking it will be the best way to find out what m2 do I have ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
