It's better to buy the Nvme variants for much higher speed performances at close to 4x -5x the speed, beneficial for installing a game, or any time you read or write large files or large groups of files, like movies, large photo collections for $30-50 more.
The connector that is split 3 ways, is the B&M key connector, the connector that splits 2 ways is the M key connector, that is Nvme.
Not a hybrid drive. Hybrid drives are traditional hdd's with some flash memory for caching. This is an ssd in an m.2 format, just using a sata lane on your mobo instead of pcie like an nvme drive would. It looks like it's single sided so it should fit your laptop as long as your laptop fits m.2 2280 sized drives.
