It's says Acer Aspire 5 A515-54G cu procesor Intel® Core™ i5-10210U pana la 4.10 GHz Comet Lake, 15.6", Full HD, 8GB, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA® GeForce® MX250 2GB, Endless OS, Black.

My question is: WHAT TYPE AND MANUFACTURER IT IS THE HDD INSIDE? (SSD or M.2 NVMe)

    There are several A515-54G submodels. It could be a 2.5" SSD or an m.2 SSD depending on the submodel. It's likely a 2.5" SSD from your description. The manufacturer could be Samsung or WesternDigital or HGST or Seagate or etc. But show me the link to the ad so I can confirm. Jack E/NJ

    Da. Acest submodel pare să aibă o carte NV.2 m.2. Dar va funcționa numai la aproximativ jumătate din viteza maximă NVME cu maxim două lățimi de legătură PCIe sau aproximativ 8 Gb/s. Jack E/NJ

    Yes. This submodel seems to have an m.2 NVME card. But will only operate at about half the maximum NVME speed with maximum two PCIe link widths or about 8Gb/s. Jack E/NJ

    Thank you very much JacKE for your answer but how did you find out?

    On the site you posted. The 512GB SSD is an m.2 NVME The only other options non-m2 for this model are a 1TB or 2TB HDD. The PCIe link width is 2X  so the NVME will operate a half its rated maximum speed. Jack E/NJ

    Thanks Jack E/NJ. And why did you said 
    "But will only operate at about half the maximum NVME speed with maximum two PCIe link widths or about 8Gb/s. Jack E/NJ"?

    Because max NVME card speed depends on using up to 4 PCIe bus lanes or links to the CPU on the mainboard. Each mainboard lane can accomodate 4Gb/s. So 4 lanes is 16Gb/s maximum NVME card  speed.

    The A515-54G mainboard has only 2 PCIe lanes out 4 lanes available to the NVME card. So it will operate at 2/4 or half maximum speed.
