Nitro 5 AMD R5 RX560X, m.2 ssd?

which m.2 ssd woud be compatible with the AMD nitro, the model that's sold in my country only has the 1tb HDD option so, seeing the other configurations in other countries with an m.2 ssd im assuming the slot is free, what would be the maximum size m.2 ssd that would be compatible? does it have to be nvme or sata or can it be either?

Also where do I find an Acer authorized repair to install the ssd m.2 and an additional 8gb ram? as I'm not risking having my warranty voided so any other places would have to wait until the warranty is out for me to do the upgrades there.

Thanks in advance

Any m.2 Sata SSD should work . Samsung, Crucial ,WD are few popular brands . NVME/PCie drives may not work

Acer Has Just confirmed that a 2TB m.2 sata ssd WILL work with the system, also, as I said, any alterations void the warranty, if it breaks they will charge to fix, so im going to wait till the end of next year to add the components on my nitro 5

well 1TB sata 3 ssd works like a charm and adata ddr4 8gb ram is compatible aswell. rig is beefed up. had a specialist do the upgrades, doesn't conflict with anything so if the rx560x decides to fry it will still be covered, but one of the reasons I got this over the i5 8300h model was the lack of m.2 an that it runs cooler, r5 is better at games and 1050 and rx560x have the same benchamrarks, without fans on max it will hit 60c top otherwise with fans on max it doesn't go over 42c, which in turn means that it will last longer, gpu doesn't go over 52c even without fans on max so I don't really see it breaking.
