I want to replace the 128GB m2 SSD with a larger capacity one, my laptop model is Acer f5-573g-524k. The current drive is Kingston rbusns8180ds3128gh.
The question is whether all ssd m2 sata III drives will work with my computer?

    You must check your m.2 socket.

    If it has two keys (B+M keys) on the left & right sides you can only use an m.2 SATA card.(right hand image shown below)

    If it has only one key (M key) on the right side you can use either a SATA or NVME card. (left hand image shown below)

    However, the NVME card will likely not run any faster than the SATA card due to mainboard bus limitations of the F5.
