    I think you'll probably find that they are.

    FWIW I've just got a Samsung EVO 500GB to replace the drive in my Lenovo E530.
    Whilst investigating whether I may need an adapter, found that the connection is identical to other drives.

    I have a portable powered caddy that I use to access data directly from HDD's external to the PC.

    For me the test comes into play when I attempt to 'migrate' the same version of Windows 10 onto the new drive.

    cheers, Mark.
