    • Does the Aspire Z22-780 AIO have an unused motherboard M.2 slot for an SSD? If so, SATA III or NVMe?

    I have a 2017 Aspire Z22-780 All-In-One (Intel i3-7100T CPU, 6 GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB SATA HDD). I would like to add more RAM and upgrade to an SSD.  Before I order an M.2 SSD and disassemble the PC, I want to know if there is an M.2 slot on the MoBo for an M.2 SSD, or if I will have to use the existing HDD SATA connection and purchase a 2.5" SATA SSD.

      The Z22-780 has an M.2 slot and can also take a 2.5" SSD drive. Do a Crucial System Scanner as that will tell you all the uogrades for memory and SSD drives suitable for your Z22-780 AIO.

      The M.2 SSD slot on the Z22-780 models is SATA only, no NVMe.

      Thanks.  Do you know if the M.2 slot is NVMe compatible or is it limited to SATA III?
