[SOLVED] Asus Chromebox 3 - SSD Upgrade compatibility

[fuzzyreets]

Hi guys. I saw a video on YT about upgrading the m.2 ssd inside but it looks like it comes with a 40mm. My question is, will an 80mm fit? Also, is this SATA only or will it run with a PCIe M.2? I'm thinking not but thought I would ask. Thanks.

You know that's the first place I looked actually. I'm somewhat skeptical of things like that when it comes to something as specific as size so I just wanted to double check. Also in the video it didn't look to me like there was a standoff for the 80mm size on the board and looks like it would be a really tight fit. Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.

while I don't believe some video on youtube, but without seeing what you see on youtube, can't tell.
