I decided to sell all my Skylake i5 6600 desktop system and move to a nice high performance gaming laptop. I am trying to find correct into perhaps the pros can advise.
I purchased the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro G with a Broadwell i7 5700, 980m GTX 4gb , Toshiba H6 M.2 Form 2280 128gb ssd & 1 TB HD. The board is based on HM87 chipset. I have a Kingston Predator AHCI 240 M.2 PCIe 2.0x4 Gen SSD form 2280. I am trying to figure out if this ssd can be used in this system. The Kingston offers 1400/600 speeds, The Toshiba H6 offers 550/450 I believe.
I originally ordered the same laptop but the new Skylake version w 6820HK, 970gtx w 1TB HD , 16 GB DDR4 & no G Sync. I felt the Broadwell based system was a worthwhile order change for the extra $230 US for the 980m w G Sync and the added 128 M.2 ssd which is also form 2280.
I have looked at the Toshiba 128 H6 and it looks slightly different in its plug in portion but if the M.2 ssd input is one slot the Kingston may work I am assuming. I know the Skylake version takes pcie ssd but can't find clear info in the pdf document of each.
Can anyone shed some light. If it will not work I will just add a second Toshiba H6 drive and Raid 0 them for better performance
