Google returned the following about the memory
MZ-VLW2560 Samsung PM961 Series 256GB TLC PCI Express 3.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Mfg Part No: MZ-VLW2560

The T480 has a few different options.

There is a 2.5" SATA drive bay for traditional 2.5" form factor SATA-III SSDs.
There is 2.5" caddy that allows a 2280 NVME SSD to be installed and connected in place of the SATA SSD (with the appropriate cable). If you have a 2280 SSD in there it is the NVME version, not the SATA version.
There is also a 2242 M.2 slot that can accept a second SSD.

I would avoid TLC based NAND - go with MLC or 3D-NAND if you can find it. They will have better longevity. Aside from that it should work as the primary NVME drive.

thanks but I have the |480s version..I see no place for a normal 2.5 disk.
