I need to upgrade the storage space to 1TB, so which type of SSD can I buy for Swift 5 (SF514-52T) ?  At present there is Micron 1100 SSD (500GB) installed in it.
Will any M.2 NVMe SSD work with the system ?

    The SF514-52T systems support either a SATA3 or NVMe SSD in the M.2 slot. You should have no problem with whatever size you can afford.

    Thanks.  I badly needed more space and this helps me to add another TB of space.

    Can I install "Sabrent Rocket Q 4TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/3000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-4TB)" to my Acer Swift 5 (SF514-52T) laptop? Is it Compactible?

    @ZHIBANG as stated above, that NVMe drive should work, though the smaller brands also tend to have poorer reviews than the name brands do.

    @billsey , thanks for all your info in the above thread.

    3 issues:

    • - My SF514-52T -565H heats up a lot during of grid use. When I use it at the USB-C loader and at a lifted notebook stand, it does not heat up.
    • - My battery empties very quick.
    • - I need more SSD space

    So, I like to replace my battery (for an Acer 4670mAh 7,7V 36Wh)

    + replace my 256 SSD: Any advice which one gives less overheating? I think about these 2 Samsung types:

    • - 980 PCIe 3.0 NVMe™ M.2 1 TB SSD / PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 / 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38 (mm)
    • - 970 Evo PLus NVMe™ M.2 1 TB SSD / PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4, NVMe 1.3 / 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38 (mm)

    The 980 has a high-performance temperature controller and heatspreader from the NAND-chip.

    The 970 has a : Dynamic Thermal Guard controler and heatspreader.

    • Sizes are the same, so it will fit in the thin casing I believe.

    Thanks a million,

    Ivo

    @Ivoenkhuizen I'd swear I answered your questions on another thread, but I'm not seeing it now. Since your questions don't have much to do with the original topic here, please start a new thread and we'll get into your overheating and battery issues there.
