My friend got ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512gb 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 M.2.
I wanted to buy the same. Is it works at acer a715-71g0 -
Yes. You can use the above SSD and it should work. However, there is no tested results with the above model SSD. Below is the complete specs of compatible SSD's which are officially recommended by Acer.peter_jayaseelan said:My friend got ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512gb 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 M.2.

Hi.
I'm thinking of buying a Acer Aspire 7 A715-72G-79PF. According to all specs I have found it contains only one ssd disk of 256 GB.
When I have searched for the Aspire-7 it says that some models support another hard drive to be installed. Does this model support this? What type of drives can then be installed, another ssd?0 -

You can install a 2.5" HDD or a SSD up to 2TB, as it's a storage drive I would suggest a HDD.

Okey, nice.brummyfan2 said:Hi,

Why do you suggest a HDD? Is there due to limitations in the hardware or because you believe it is more neccessary to have a larger storing device rather than another ssd?0 -
It's a storage drive so it doesn't matter whether it's a HDD or a SSD, mostly SSDs are used for speed in boot drives, as you already have a SSD as a boot drive you don't need a SSD for storage, however it's up to you to choose whichever you prefer.axelst said:Okey, nice.

Hi,
could someone please help me with my request.
I've an Aspire A715-72G-73GM and consider to change the existing M.2 to a bigger / faster one.
Refering to my "Computer Management" my NTB is equipped with an <INTEL SSDPEKKW256GB>.
Which kind of M.2's is my device suppose to have? Where do I find some kind of an official compatibility list?
Specifications like:
- NVMe or SATA
- PCIe 3x4 or 4x4
- up to which speed do the components support ( some kind of Benchmark limitations )
- maybe a list of drive models would be very helpful
The offers at Amazon doesn't clearly declare if the products ( M.2's ) fit to my notebook.
I would apreciate any competent recommendation.

As long as the M.2 you use is similar in build to the one you have, it should work. What I would avoid for your A715 is using M.2 drives that are of the 2242 type (M.2 2242). Those will definitely not fit your laptop's M.2 slot.Arminiumar said:Hi,

I use this Intel M.2 in my A715-72G-79BH laptop: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1437036-REG/intel_ssdpeknw020t8x1_660p_2tb_ssd_sata.html
Works very well, and is lower powered compared to more expensive M.2 drives. It's possible to use faster M.2's but this one's perfect for me as it doesn't consume too much power. Fast M.2's tend to consume a lot of power, so those tend to be better for desktop machines IMO (or higher end laptops). I chose this one as it doesn't consume much wattage but gives me the storage I want for dual booting 2 OS's.1 -
Hello i_love_tazzus,
first of all thank You for Your impart of personal experience.
As using a laptop the power consuption of components are considerable for mobile durability.
During a phone call with the Acer Support I found out that Acer does have mostly recommendations for intel m.2's either.
Contemplate the proven use of intel m.2 NVMe drives I'd like to consider the fact.
The exploit of very fast NVMe's is questionable anyway when it comes to DMI bus availibility for PCI Express.
As the bandwidth of the DMI bus is capable to support other features of the chipset at the same time probably, like:
- SATA lanes
- LAN
- USB 3.0 lanes
- etc.
there is no way that two or more PCH-based PCIe x4 links can obtain the transfer rate necessary
to take real advantage of the plain transferring rate of those drives.
If I'm assuming correctly.
In fact it's primarily about the size of the drive since I'm also running two OS's on SSD for faster boot.
Now I've an open question remaining:
Do You know if there are two m.2 connectors on the mainboard of the Aspire A715-(72 series)?
Maybe one visible, when removing the back cover of the laptop and one on the other side of the mainboad, not visible yet?
