I added a crucial m.2 2280 250gig ssd. All is well that's my boot drive & using the Toshiba 1 terabyte that came with it for storage.However I would like to replace the hdd with a 1 terabyte ssd sata. Is this machine able to run 2 ssds & if so what is the max size of the ssd?

    Thanks for quick reply & the additional info on the sd cards. That's good stuff to know. So, if I wanted to replace my 250 gig m.2 with a 512gig m.2 would it work or is 256 the largest size drive that's compatible?

    Laurent_14 I saw where some people were putting 275gig crucial mx300 in the m.2 with no problems. Maybe I should contact Acer & find out. If I do I'll be sure to post the answer on here for anyone else looking for this info.
