I am trying to get a NVME adapter for my Lenovo T480, and I am getting confused which ones are compatible.
I originally ordered these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176131607442
But the cable doesn't fit, on top of being a bit too long it's also much smaller than the connector on the motherboard. I noticed that the listing says "X270" so I assumed I messed up and ordered one for a different type of Lenovo model that is not compatible.
When searching for other listings however, I saw ones listed as for the T480 and T490, but others listed as being for "x270, T480, T490". Do these sellers have no idea what they are talking about claiming a X270 adapter will work on a T480? Or Are they the same adapter and the original seller I bought mine from screwed up and sent me something incorrect?
I also see two different model numbers listed. Nearly everyone seems to list the NS-A933 model when searching for one specifically saying it will work on a T480... but I see a model number 01AX994 listed as well.
Can someone help me with my confusion? I am a little lost now on what is compatible with this laptop and what I am supposed to be looking for.

Re: Confused what NVME adapter is compatible with my Lenovo Thinkpad T480
The official Lenovo FRU is 01AX994.
The (printed) NS-A933 is the circuit-board's model number, visible on many pictures on eBay.
It is used by sellers who have not got a clue about Lenovo FRUs.
Presumably what you got is the correct caddy but with an X270-cable instead of a T470/T480-cable.
Those cables might be available separately.
