    @pikapika your SF314-55G model supports a single NVMe x4 SSD in the M.2 slot. The KC2500 will give you full speed, the A2000 about half that. Realize that you will have to clone your existing SSD to the new one, then swap them in order to use the new drive. I find that easiest to do if I start with an external USB NVMe case. Put the new drive in the external case and connect it to the laptop, clone the drive, then open the laptop up and put the new drive in place. After you have verified it's all working correctly, put the old drive in the case and connect it again, then use Disk Management to wipe all the partitions off the old drive so you can use it as an external data or backup drive.
