I currently have a M.2 2242 SSD and am considering buying a laptop (MSI GS63VR) without the M.2 slot filled. The slot and card are both M-keyed so that isn't an issue. But the GS63VR has a longer slot (M.2 2280 I think?) so the screw hole isn't in the right place for the shorter 2242 card. Will it still be compatible?
Also in my previous laptop the M.2 was spring loaded much like a laptop SODIMM slot which made the M.2 SSD pop up when the screw is removed. Is this standard, and if so could I simply use a piece of non-conductive tape to hold the 2242 card in place on the MSI motherboard?
