The CRUCIAL is not the same shape as the one in my desktop.

Hello,

According to the Acer specifications, the maximum capacity is 256GB (SATA SSD).

If your model came with an SSD from Acer it's the M.2 form factor. You can put the Crucial in and use it, but it will be the second drive alongside your current SSD. You wouldn't necessarily want to use it as a boot drive because it'll most likely be slower than the onboard one. The Crucial will mount just like a HDD, using a SATA port on the motherboard.

Needless to say, that capacity only reflects which drives Acer tested with originally. As with most machines there's only the limits the file system places on drive size. You do, however, need to put the right kind of drive in. What model is your Crucial?

Thanks for your response The crucial is a 2.5" I know that this will not work. Regards

Samsung 2.5"  1 TB SSD works.
