What kind interface SSD M.2 supports Acer Aspire

Gregory1

Hi, I want to install an SSD hard drive and I do not know which one to buy for my Acer Aspire E5-771 17-inch laptop.

Please help me identify if it supports M2 or PCIe NVMe.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Have you checked Root Ports 3&4 as well? If you find the same results, unfortunately, you can only use a M.2 SATA SSD and not NVMe SSD

Hi,

You can install a M.2 SATA SSD and it will work but if you want to install a NVMe SSD, please read my post here in this thread, you need to install HWiNFO64 and find out the Maximum Link Width for your PCI Express Root Ports.

According to what you have explained, NVMe does not support SSD true?
