    Thanks =) I was thinking to order 500 GB WD blue. But found out that max up 250 can be upgraded. So ordered Samsung EVO860 for 250 Gb

    My SF113-31-P5CK is on BIOS v1.05 and it's been running great with a 500Gb Crucial MX500 SATA III M.2 2280 drive for over a month now. Did fresh install of Win 10 to the SSD and wiped the original 64Gb EMMC. System is noticeably quicker running on the 500GB SSD.
  • Then you bought what is not shown in the service guide, ie, this model supports ssd m2 2280 sata 3 500gb!

    Yes. I happened to have two 500Gb M.2 drives to try on my Swift 1 (one NVMe and one SATA 3). I suspect a 1TB drive would also work but don't have one to try. Maybe service guides were written when SSD's were expensive and 500GB wasn't so common as they are now.

    There are a few different ways to do this.
    If you haven't yet created the recovery media from your swift 1, you'll need to do that first (burn it to a 16gb USB flash drive). 

    a) If you still have the Acer Care Center app on your swift 1, you can do a fresh install through that app's recovery tab (can also use the app to create your recovery media
    b) Through Windows 10 settings menu (settings/update/recovery)
    c) Boot from your USB flash drive that has your recovery media and follow the prompts there to reinstall windows

     Any idea why Crucial MX500 250GB SATA (sku: CT250MX500SSD4) is not recognized by my SF113-31?

    Is there any extra steps required aside from plugging SSD?

    I was expecting the drive to show up in Computer Management or BIOS and it didn't. Any idea why?

    Please disregard. User error. :(

    Crucial MX500 250GB SATA (sku: CT250MX500SSD4) works just fine. Plug and Play :)

    How did you wipe the 64Gb EMMC?
  • Why do you want to delete emmc? Have you ever tried cloning to a ssd before deleting emmc?

    Can anyone else confirm that its Acer Swift SF113-31 is working with a 500 or 512 Gb SSD? I don't understand why would be the capacity of a storage device a matter of hardware compatibility.

    Hi, may I know if this model supports NVME SSD apart from M.2 SATA?

    There isn't a drive size limit, only the limits to the drive type. It supports a SATA drive in the M.2 slot but not an NVMe. You could put a 2TB or larger in there and it would work fine.
