    could we grab the full model number of your laptop? Differnt nitros have differnt internal set ups, but for the most part most have 1X Sata 2.5 inch bay, and 1x M2 NVME bay, both of those should work but some laptops come with a m2 or a sata already installed

    For ones which only have the m2 installed, you may need to also buy the Sata cable and sata caddy from acer, as it doesnt ship with it in the bottom :) from memeroy its pretty cheap though

    It does help, but just to make sure i think that will make it a AN517-52-50QY or simmilar based on your region right? If so, (laptop media to the rescue again aha!) looking at this tear down:

    The SSD is occupying the M2 slot allready, and its the Sata bay which is empty, so it would be the first one to expand storage. If you are based in the US then you may be able to use this link to request a mounting kit:

    They look something like this one ( https://store.acer.com/en-ca/42-gp4n2-sv1-1 )but at the moment im failing to find the link for the one which works with your laptop sorry! It may be worth popping the back off incase its already included :)

    Jonathon just as an addition, yes those drives that you have referenced and made links to are compatible for your AN517-52 laptop as it can also take the following Acer recommended drives of either 2.5 inch SATA-3 6GB/sec spinner HDD’s or SSD drives or the M.2 PCIe Gen.3 x4 drives for the ultimate performance of your Nitro AN517-52:



    2.5 inch SATA-3 6GB/sec spinner HDD's or replaced by 2.5 inch SSD drives
