Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53 - How are you supposed to find what m.2 drive fits?

ShangWang

I'm aware it's the 2280 size simply because of replacement videos, but how do you officially/for sure know what size of drive it should be?

Hi @ShangWang,

2 SSDs typically come in three dimensions, which may be deduced from the card name —2242, 2260, and 2280 — "22" represents the width in millimeters (mm), while the next two digits represent the length, also in mm.

I see, what is the third dimension?
