Acer Aspire E5-575-52JF m.2 nvme support

Hi @syntax101
You need to contact Acer Support centre in your region, they will be able to help you, if you damage the warranty seal, you will loose the warranty, so it's better to get the SSD installed by the Service centre.

Hello im sure this can support NVME but i would like an approval of some expert before i buy this expensive piece of hardware.

sata or nvme?


thank you for your input:

laptop model Acer E5 576G 50EN

Hi,
Yes, you can use a NVMe SSD drive, your laptop has 2 lanes enables so it will work at half the advertised speed.

last question is this the right nmve? i searched for nmve internet gave me 2 hardware the one with 2 slots and 1 with 1 slots,

is this the correct 1?

You are welcome, yes that's the right one, one with two gaps is M.2 SATA drive, this drive is fine but slightly slower than a Samsung 970 Evo, you can compare it and choose whichever you prefer.

Dear, i have a ssd nvme recognition problem on a acer predator helios 300 notebook, just confirming, my notebook is compatible (PCI Express 3.0), right?

Hi,
Could you please post the full model name, like Gx-xxx, HWiNFO doesn't provide enough information regarding PCIe details for certain models, also post the details of your NVMe drive.

Hello girls and guys,

I have this Acer Aspire 3 A314-31 (https://www.acer.com/ac/en/ID/content/model/NX.GNSSN.002) and I have 2 questions:

1. Can I add in the M.2 slot a NVME or a SATA M.2 SSD? I read all the discussions and I have the feeling the answer is SATA M.2 SSD because of the pcie version 2 only.

2. having in mind the specifications of my laptop, if I add an M.2 SSD will performance improve considerably? I fear the Celeron N3350 processor is the one to blame for the overall slowness in working even simple tasks like office or light browsing.

Thank you,

Hi,
1. Yes, you can install a M.2 SATA SSD and NVMe support not available for this model.
2. M.2 SATA SSD will certainly improve the performance of your laptop including responsiveness of programs, apps and browsing.

Thank you for the answer.

Regarding point 2, I've already changed the HDD to a Seagate ST1000LX015 hybrid drive (one that has some flash memory on it) - it seems like it is a bit faster but nothing impressive.

You are welcome, yes hybrid drives are better than normal spinner drives but M.2 SSDs are different class, so you will be better off with a SSD.
