Acer Aspire 3 A315-43 does it have a maximum SSD capacity if that makes sense?

I’ve just bought an Acer Aspire 3 and I’d previously purchased a 2 TB M.2 SSD that wasn’t a fit for my old laptop. So I just wanted to know would I be able to install it into this Acer Aspire 3 and upgrade it? Or does it have a maximum SSD capacity if that makes sense?

    That SSD will work fine, your laptop has one M.2 PCIe x4 slot (see picture), other SSDs recommended are:

    Just in addition and for your information, the Aspire A315-43 M.2 SSD drive is of interface PCIe 3 x4 and the below specs and drives are what Acer fits oem into this laptop. Note: capacities of disk hard drives are determined by their format in a windows OS, MBR is up to 2TB and GUID (GPT) is up to 8 petabytes which you will never ever get to😁
