Acer aspire E 15 E5-575G-50PY compatible with NVME ssd?

AG_94

I have a Acer aspire e15 E5-575G-50PY 7th gen laptop. I want to upgrade my hard drive with nvme SSD (hope to use 

LEXAR NM620 M.2 2280 PCIE GEN3X4 NVME SSD)  

can I please know my PC compatible with nvme SSD?

Congrats. Thanks for reporting back. Speed is as expected as per the four pin m.2 socket.

JackE

It should be compatible if your m.2 socket has a single M-key bump as shown below. You must check this because some mainboards might be equipped with the older double B+M key bump sockets. It should run at least twice as fast as a m.2 SATA card.

yes noted , my pc has single M key bump

JackE

The link width suggests that it may even run at 4x SATA speed. Please let us know. Thanks.

Thank you @JackE for the support
here is theM2 port and PCI bus details 

JackE

Yes, an NVME should fit and work fine in the socket.

However, the socket has only 4 pins to the right of the M-key. This suggests an NVME will run at about 2X SATA speeds. Most NVMEs nowadays have one extra pin contact on the right edge to achieve 4X SATA speeds. It will be interesting to see what speeds you actually get. Good luck!

@AG_94 and @JackE

I am curious too. Since HWINF64 reported x4 Link Width and the M.2 slot picture provided by @AG_94 seemed to indicated only 4-pin at narrower side (I believe I saw 4-pins there). It will be interesting to see if the M.2 NVMe will run at x2 or x4 speed.

Please let us know how it turn out.

Hi,
I have successfully installed  the NVME SSD (Corsair Force MP510 )  
but seems to read speed reduced by 2x as product specification have 3480 Mb/s read speed

@AG_94

Thank you for reporting the results. 

Now I know 4-pin at the narrower side of M.2 slopt prevail, disregarding the report of 4x link width.
