Hi,
1.You have one M.2 SSD slot in your model.
2&3. You can use a M.2 NVMe SSD up to 1TB.
4. You can use a 2TB 2.5" SSD.
5. Yes, you may have to buy a SATA cable, bracket and screws.

this thread says that it will only support upto 512 gb0 -
Yes, it was 2 years ago and it was not safe to suggest without any evidence of 1TB working in this model.Hafsal said:https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/584664/suitable-ssd-for-my-acer-swift-3-sf-315-52g-52xd

Sorry for my very bad english, i am french
I have a SWIFT 3 SF315-52G with a M2 SATA 118GB drive and 1TB HDD SATA3 drive.I tried to change both but it seems impossible...When i try to install 1TB SSD drive (M2 OR SATA 3 HDD), the laptop hang on ACER logo... I can't reach BIOS.ACER doesn't want to help me for that...Searches on internet seem to show that a bug appeared after the 1.04 bios, preventing any installation of SSD greater than 512TB, either on the M2 port or the SATA port.Their technical support walks me with uninteresting answers ....
They are however responsible for this bug and are apparently not determined to correct it, probably to sell newer machines ."

so will 1tb nvme ssd work on acer swift 3?
It's up to you to decide whether you want to install 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, I don't know why it wasn't working for the user you have mentioned but I have provided two links where the users have successfully installed 1TB SSDs, if you want to make sure please contact Acer support centre in your region and they may be able to clear your doubts, I don't have this model, so my advice based only on what other users are using in this model.

There is no reason it wouldn't support 1TB, 2TB or larger as the M.2 versions come available. The software supports much larger drives and partitions than that on GPT systems. The older machines that used MBR drives had a 2TB limit for partitions. The size limit for a GPT is something close to 10 zettabytes...

According to Crucial, yes. I don't have access to the SG right now, but that's what I remember as well.
