A connector feature that depends mainly on the motherboard slot shape.

A capacity reserve that grows as more free space is used.
2.
What files often grow storage needs quickly?
Photos, games, video, virtual machines, and project files.
Browser caches and update leftovers as the main long-term capacity plan.
Firmware settings, CPU microcode, and memory training data.
Device profiles and shortcuts, while media and games stay small.
3.
Why should a drive not be planned nearly full?
The system needs free space for updates, temporary files, wear management, and maintenance.
A full drive may still boot, but updates and temporary files can become unreliable.
Backups become harder to stage when the source and destination have little margin.
A full SSD can have less room for wear leveling and maintenance work.
