Clarification Needed on SSD Size Compatibility for Acer Swift SF314-71

lamdarv

Hi!

I am looking to upgrade the storage on my Acer Swift SF314-71 (SN: NXKAWSN003XXXX). The laptop currently has an NVMe M.2 2280 Gen 4 SSD installed in the first slot. There is a second empty slot, and based on some articles I’ve read, it suggests that this slot supports an NVMe M.2 2242 Gen 3 SSD.

However, when I look at the slot (look at the image i uploaded), it seems like it might accommodate a longer SSD, possibly an M.2 2260.

Could someone please confirm whether the second slot supports an M.2 2242 or if it also supports other sizes like 2260 ? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

The second M.2 slot in your Acer Swift SF314-71 is confirmed to support an NVMe M.2 2242 SSD. However, it appears that the slot may also accommodate a 2260 SSD, depending on the physical space available in your specific laptop model.

According to discussions and compatibility lists, the second slot is primarily designed for a 2242 size SSD, and using a 2280 SSD is not feasible due to size constraints. Some users have suggested that the slot might fit a 2260 SSD, but this isn't universally guaranteed, as it may depend on the exact layout and available space within your device.

To ensure compatibility and avoid any issues, it's advisable to measure the available space in the slot before purchasing a new SSD.
