EDIT:
Hi all,
As Popatim pointed out the laptop can in fact handle an additional SSD. When I go to system devices the only thing I can find related to storage is something that starts out with WD-then a bunch of numbers which I believe is just my HDD.
But after looking through the device manager and the ports that the computer have I see that I have a bunch of things in relation to PCI express.
>Device Manager
>System Devices
>PCI Express Root Complex
>PCI Express Root Port
>PCI Express Root Port
>PCI Express Root Port
>PCI standard host CPU bridge
>PCI standard ISA bridge
After reading into the definitions of these ports it leads me to believe that I could actually plug in a PCI express SSD to this computer contrary to what a lot of other forum posts have been saying about the V17 nitro black edition.
Can anyone confirm this? Would really appreciate it I want to go ahead and make a purchase!
thanks
Hi all,
Experiencing pretty bad load times in some of my larger engineering applications like SolidWorks/MATLAB and also in videos games as small as Path of Exile (i know transfer rate plays a big roll not just the size of the original file) but I was mainly wondering if a black edition Acer V17 Nitro can upgrade to SSD?
I think it has an M.2 slot in it but I just want to make sure with people that have more experience than me. Anyone that could give their input?
Also if I do in fact have an M.2 slot open would I be able to put this in there?

I think that it may only accept SATA m.2 drives and not PCI expresses. But the transfer rate of 6 gb/s (obvi wouldn't get that speed exactly) would help the load times of these applications most likely correct? I know you can just stick a 16 gig in the side of USB 3.0 and make it a quick access drive but I'm really looking to actually upgrade here. \
Thank you!
