mhmd

i have an acer aspire e5-576g its been slowing down, i was only using the hard drive as a main drive and now i want an ssd. i have an m.2 slot but dont know which type i should use and which one is compatible. So can you guys recommend me one from amazon with a good price not more than 128 gb or 256gb. thanks

Your model should have an m.2 socket that has a single M-key bump like shown below. It should be compatible with both two B+M key slots SATA3 cards and one M-key slot NVME cards. The NVME might be up to twice as fast as a  SATA3. Prices are about the same for SATA3 & NVME cards these days.

If low cost is more important than reliability, then the adata m.2 sata cards about as cheap as you can get. They are certainly faster than an HDD. If you want more reliability but not too much more expensive than I'd recommend the Western Digital Blue series nvme cards.
