Does my laptop Acer Aspire VX5-591G-72DL support NVME SSD on M.2 slot or should I just stick with SATA SSD ?

    I have a 2017 Acer Aspire VX5-591G-72DL. Storage options it came with-

    1. 128GB M.2 SATA SSD
    2. 1 TB HDD

    I have been thinking of upgrading the 128GB M.2 SATA SSD to a 1TB M.2 (2280) NVME SSD, preferably a Samsung EVO 970 Plus. The following-

    suggests that the SSD interface is SATA III. So does that essentially mean, I should stick with SATA SSD ? However, there were some community posts where I have seen they have successfully upgraded to an NVME SSD.

    This model has a controller that supports both ssd m2 2280 sata III and pcie nvme (gen3x4)! It accepts gen3x2, however, a ssd gen3x4 has bandwidth greater than gen3x2! I would buy a gen3x4 in case you use the notebook to save very large files!


    • I'm confused what it means ?

    Also, here are some images of my laptop, if it helps -
