## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it compatible with a asus chromebook flip c101**
A: Yes, this will replace the stock SSD which comes installed in your Chromebook. Make sure you have a full PC or a Macbook in order to create a Chrome recovery drive on a USB stick. You could also clone the boot drive, too. The point is, you need an OS on your replacement SSD. Otherwise your Chromebook won't function.

**Q: Will this work on dell latitude 5480 wwan slot?**
A: Yes, the dell latitude 5480 will support an M.2 SSD in that slot.

A: "Next-Gen-Form-Factor" (vintage phase like "information superhighway") outline, yes. Many of those, keyed differently by function. This on is an SSD card. This is AHCI protocol, connected by Serial-ATA, so it has the notch cut at "B key".

**Q: Is this compatible with hp elitebook folio 9480m?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for upgrading old laptops to Linux
*by D***T on December 25, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working fine for serveral months now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed!
*by P***Y on November 1, 2019*

A few years ago I bought two Dell Inspiron i3050 Micro computers to set up as streaming devices. Out of the box they were pretty limited with just 2gb of ram and 32gb of storage. With Windows 8.1 installed, you just didn't have a lot of room for anything else, much less updates... so every so often, Windows would try to do some major updates but could not due to the incredibly limited storage capacity of 32gb. So to upgrade these little guys to Win10 and add some functionality, I needed a bigger drive and that's where the Transcend 256GB drive comes in. Very easy to install... a fast little drive and has a lot more storage than I started off with, but in 2019, 256gb seems small. This drive though meets and exceeds the needs of what I am doing with those little Dells. I ordered 2 and the first one worked perfect... the second one how ever never could be recognized in Bios and therefor Windows could not be reinstalled. Sent it back and quickly got a replacement that worked perfectly the first time.
