Acer Aspire VN7-791G adding SSD

ValeV

Hi,

I just bought Acer Aspire 791G-70M4 and I want to additionally buy 256GB SSD and put it in laptop. I have problems finding the right SSD, because I can't find information on laptop on what type SSD must be.

 

This is my first time buying SSD so I'm not familiar with all those acronyms, like M.2, mSATA, PCI-e and so on.

 

Can you guys give me information on what type of SSD must be and, if possible, some good SSDs like that?

 

Thanks in advance,

ValeV

Hi,

 

You'll need a M.2 type 2280 SSD. "2280" is the form factor 22mmx80mm.

Here are the original SSDs of Aspire VN7-791G:

KN.25607.010	FLASH DISK.SSD.NAND.256GB.LF+HF (KINGSTON)
KN.2560A.005	FLASH DISK.256GB.SSD.TOSHIBA.
KN.2560L.010	FLASH DISK.SSD.NAND.256GB.LF+HF (LITE-ON)

Kingston compatible SSD

or

KN.2560A.005

KN.2560L.010

Thanks a lot for this information. I was looking around on newegg.com and amazon and found these 2 SSDs:

and

Just to be sure, are both SSDs compatible with my laptop (VN7-791G)? If yes, I'm leaning toward 850 EVO, because I read it's very popular right now.

 

So, if 850 EVO fits in, I'll pretty much settle for it, but I need to be sure about it.
