Hi,
Is that E5-575G? If so, open the service hatch and find the M.2 SSD next to memory modules(F in my snip).

Hi,
Yes, it will fit in the HDD bay. Your laptop supports M.2 2280 SSD.

Pci express Root Port #9 version 3.0 maximum link width 2x, Maximum Link Speed 8.0 GT /s, Current Link Speed 2.5 GT/s,

then port #11 and #12 is 1x speed and port 1 is 4x speed, all version 3.0 and with the same maximum and current link speed.

Hi,
Yes, you can install a M.2 NVMe SSD in your laptop, M.2 SATA SSD also will work.

Yes, that's correct, it will work at half the speed due to 2 lanes restriction.

Samsung 860 Evo is 6.8 mm high and the HDD/SSD Assembly Kit supports 7 or 9.5 millimeter, can i use it anyway?

thanks

Hi,
Yes, you can use it, if it's too wobbly, support with a thin soft rubber underneath.

Yes, I think so as 970 is also a NVMe SSD.

Hi,
You can check that by installing HWiNFO64 free program, run the program, expand BUS, expand PCI bus, expand PCI Express Root Ports and check their Maximum Link Width value, if you find 2x value for any port, then you can install a NVMe SSD, for more information please read my post in this link:https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/497241/acer-aspire-e5-575-52jf-m-2-nvme-support/p1

Hi,
Recommended maximum size is 256GB but I have seen others installing larger than 256GB M.2 SSD.
