    I have seen people reported using 2TB SATA and NVMe SSD and were perfectly fine, that is like a guaranteed to work with that limit. 

    Chances are using 4TB SATA and NVMe SSD will be still O.K., considering that 4 TB is well within the GPT type of address limit.

    People did not have access to 4TB SATA/NVMe SSD drives until recently, so that did not mean people cannot use 4 TB drives, just have not seen people reported using that yet.

    Since 4TB NVMe and SATA SSD are still little expensive and I do not have such needs, otherwise I'll try to get one and happily report here it is O.K. to use 4 TB SSD.

    Up to 2 TB for SATA3 SSD or M.2 NVME SSD.

    Hello, guys!

    I've bought 4 Tb SSD for my Acer A715-75g with core i5 9300h processor, SSD model is Kingston NV2 4TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 (SNV2S/4000G). I've connected Acronis True Image 2021 boot USB, changed partition to GPT and restored backup of Windows 11 and all full drive from old 512Gb SSD. Acronis sees all 3.6 Tb of space but it can only allocate 1.6Tb from 3.6 Tb space of the disk. Another 2Tb remains unallocated. Then when I try to boot from windows manager it starts to recover windows and immediately returns BSOD kernel security check failure. Kernel protection on windows is turned off, bitlocker is turned off. Also I tried to install clean windows 11 from USB drive, but it returns the same BSOD and even doesn't show windows installation interface. Any ideas how is it possible to make it work correctly? Maybe it is driver or boot problem because Acronis can see the disk and writes data to it? I read that officially my laptop supports only 1Tb SSD, but some people reported 2 Tb successfull installation. I also managed to work it with 64 Gb of RAM (2x Kingston SODIMM DDR4-2666 32768MB PC4-21300 (KVR26S19D8/32)) although it officially supports only 32 Gb of RAM. Thank you in advance.

    The Acer Aspire 7 A715-75G supports various SSD configurations ranging from 128GB to 512GB or more, depending on the specific model. Check the official Acer website or product documentation for precise information on your laptop's storage capacity.

    I've managed to make it work! Now it is 3.6Tb of space on my A715-75G. What I've done:

    1. Updated Bios from v.1.03 to 2.06

    2. Enabled secure boot from windows 11.

    3. Turned off laptop and changed ssd to 4 Tb

    4. On bios went to Main tab and press Crtl + S

    5. Changed disk mode to achi.

    6. Successfuly installed Windows 11.

    Tank you for reporting. So it is OK to use 4TB drives.
