    You likely won't have enough space for an M.2 SSD with a heatsink in the Acer PHN16-71 because Acer uses a special graphite heat-dissipating foil instead of a heatsink for the M.2 SSD. If you need better cooling, consider an M.2 SSD without a heatsink and use the graphite foil provided by Acer.

    I hope this helps! If this was useful, please hit 'Yes' or 'Like'! Thanks! 😊
