Hello Acer Community,


I recently acquired the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-51KV and I'm looking to enhance its performance by adding more RAM and another SSD. I have a few components at home that I'd like to check for compatibility before proceeding.


SSD Compatibility (Toshiba 512GB PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe M.2 - THNSN5512GPUK):
I have a Toshiba 512GB PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD (THNSN5512GPUK) that I used in my previous setup. Could you please confirm whether this SSD is compatible with my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-51KV?



RAM Compatibility (Hynix 8GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM):
Additionally, I possess an 8GB Hynix DDR4-2400 SODIMM RAM module. Can anyone confirm if this RAM is suitable for my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-51KV?

Thank you in advance for your assistance. Your insights will be immensely helpful in ensuring a smooth upgrade process for my Acer Nitro 5.


Best regards,
DoctorRamo😁

    Is there room in the laptop for more than one NVMe hard-disk or do you plan to install an ordinary SSD internal drive? If you change the hard-disk where Windows is on you may need to do more than just tell you have a new hard-drive. Microsoft is not friendly like before.

    512Gb should be enough to have windows and space for working and SSD drives are reasonably fast and can be had op to several T-byte.

    8Gb RAM should be fine for day to day working but for playing games 16 in my desktop is not nearly enough. OK for me as I do not use it for gaming, but picture editing and design purpose.

    Hi xel,

    Yes, my Acer Nitro 5 laptop actually has multiple NVMe slots, so I'm planning to add an additional SSD instead of replacing the current one. I'm glad you brought up the compatibility concern, and I was wondering if you could guide me on how to check whether my chosen components are compatible with my Acer Nitro 5. Is there a specific method or tool I should use to ensure a smooth upgrade?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Best regards,
    DoctorRamo
