NVMe SSD Not Working on Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-571G

zloberto

So, I own Aspire V Nitro for almost two years now and I decided to upgrade it with an M.2 NVMe SSD so it boots up faster and so that I can use my HDD as a media drive, I bought a Patriot Scorch NVMe PCIe M.2 128GB SSD. When I plug it in and try to initialize as MBR it says Incorrect function and when I try to initialize it as GPT it says that there is not enough space to initialize GPT, after that the disk disappears from Virtual Disk Manager and from Device Manager, I flashed my bios to the latest version. The only thing that gets the SSD back to device list is a new installation of windows, but even when I install new OS it gives the same error when trying to initialize pls help and yes I downloaded HWinfo64 and it shows that the slot where the M.2 is installed supports NVMe as it has 4x bus width

Hello,

This SSD is an 2280 M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x2 NVMe 1.2. I'm not sure it will work correctly with the PCIe X4 interface. I already read that some users have issues with the WD Blue SN500 SSD PCIe X2.
