Hi guys I have an aspire a315-21-21y2 and I would like to buy an NVMe because after checking the motherboard, I noticed that there is an M.2 PCIe input for NVMe (M key). However, in other posts from the Acer community, users reported that using NVMe on aspire a315-21 does not work, only m.2 sata works. I would like to know, please, if the motherboard will recognize NVMe this time after several BIOS updates. Thank you!

  • Hi,
    Unfortunately, this model only supports a M.2 SATA SSD.

    That's really too bad... If I plug the M key of the M.2 SATA SSD and let the B key unplugged, will it work or do I need to tinker around? Can I also boot from the SSD? Thanks for your answer btw!

    No problem, you don't have to do anything, the slot is compatible with M.2 SATA SSD and you can use it as a boot drive.
