Acer Aspire A315-42-R04R m.2 SSD slot interface

Hi.
I have Acer Aspire A315-42-R04R with m.2 slot ("M" key).
In the Acer Support answered that it has PCIe 3.0 x2 interfaces. I bought PLEXTOR M8SeGN PX-128M8SeGN (PCIe x4, supposed it would work as x2), and my laptop freezes on the Acer logo with it (w/o SSD it works as normal).
For now I don't understand: troubles with my laptop or new SSD and which SSD should I buy.
Does laptop m.2 slot support PCIe x4 interface, only PCIe x2 or it just have SATA interface?

Thanks.

Hi,
I couldn't find any reason for PLEXTOR not working, there are people who have successfully installed a NVMe SSD in this model, however I have seen others not able to install NVMe SSDs in this model as well, please read this thread, some OME PCIe drives working in this model(userbenchmark link).

Hi,

Thanks for answer. I saw benchmarks before it.

I've tested PLEXTOR for another PC, and it worked as normal, but for my laptop it didn't.

I've bought another PCIe x4 m.2 SSD ADATA XPG SX6000 Lite 128GB, and it works for my laptop!

Hi,

Thanks for answer.

I've tested PLEXTOR for another PC and it worked as normal, but unfortunately for my laptop it didn't. And I don't know why.

I've bought  ADATA XPG SX6000 Lite 128GB with PCIe x4 NVMe and it works fine with my laptop.
