I bought a acer aspire 5 a515-56-32DK, I'm trying to figure out what kind of ssd I can upgrade. The site online only had the a515-56 not the a515-56-32DK. Do they take the same or no? I was able to figure out and replace the ram, want to add internal memory ssd now thanks

    Looks like there is a Sata bay and an NVME drive slot to use :) looks like both take the same, even the servie guides are the same!

    Yes, both laptops are the same and they take the following M.2 SSD drives at PCIe Gen.3x4 that Acer fits, you can also fit the top PCIe 3x4 WD SN750 or the Samsung 970 EVO Plus too as they are excellent drives. Below is the list of all SSD M.2 drives and I've included the ram specs too, good luck and hope this helps you out.:

    Btw this is the memory spec for this laptop too, for your information as this laptop would be greatly assited with more ram:

    This list of memories attention are from Acer, I tell you that I enter the command prompt cmd and place the commands wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices and it appears to me that it has available for 64 gb in two slots. That's why it strikes me that I limit to 20gb in my case that came with 4 GB of ram
