Sorry for my very bad english, i am french I have a SWIFT 3 SF315-52G with a M2 SATA 118GB drive and 1TB HDD SATA3 drive. I tried to change both but it seems impossible...When i try to install 1TB SSD drive (M2 OR SATA 3 HDD), the laptop hang on ACER logo... I can't reach BIOS. ACER doesn't want to help me for that... Searches on internet seem to show that a bug appeared after the 1.04 bios, preventing any installation of SSD greater than 512TB, either on the M2 port or the SATA port.

@Alex0815 The 1TB 970 EVO will work, for sure. I had exactly the same problem with my newly purchased SF315-52G. Swapping the original 256GB M.2 SSD against any M.2 SATA SSD failed, Samsung 860 EVO, Crucial MX500, WD Green SSD, none of them worked, always freeze at the bios logo. I havnt figured out why, but the Swift 3 doesnt like SATA SSDs. But you can use any NVME SSD, Samsung 970 EVO, Crucial P1, etc. will work, regardless of the size. mfg Ronny

How did you migrate/clone the partitions on 1TB HDD to the 500GB SSD? Jack E/NJ
