Hello, my laptop is Swift 3 SF315-52G-33A3 (NX.GZAEU.037)
My questions are:
Is there space for additional HDD 2.5 disk or additional PCIe SSD ?
Is it possible to upgrade RAM memory?
  
Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    1. Is there space for additional HDD 2.5 disk or additional PCIe SSD?
      M.2 2280 PCIe x4 NVMe or SATA III SSD
      You'll also need these parts:
      47.GZCN5.001 - SSD AL MYLAR (aluminum foil cover)
      86.GNUN5.001 - SCREW M2x2.5 (to fix the M.2 ssd)

    2. Is it possible to upgrade RAM memory?
      Up to 32GB DDR4 2400MHz(2x16GB). See the datasheet.
      Check your current memory module because this series is shipped with memory modules of 2400 or 2666MHz but they work at 2400MHz.
    Hey, thank you for your answer. 
    Are you sure that free slot for additional disk exist? I asked to local Acer service and they answered that it is impossible. I am little confused. 


    Hello! Yes, even I called our local Acer agents as well and they said that you cannot add a 2.5" SATA hard. But I removed the laptop one day, and there is an empty space for HDD (check the photo). You need a bracket and a SATA HDD cable to plug the hard in. I ordered the cable from Aliexpress for like $3, because the official cable and bracket is pretty expensive, and cant ship it to my country.

    I'll be installing the HDD as soon as the cable arrives. I'll update if everything works.
