Question Will this NVMe SSD work with my PC?

[bobz5460]

Hello, I have a Acer TC-885 and currently have a 1TB HDD. The HDD is kind of slow, and I would like to upgrade to a nvme SSD. I was wondering, would the WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 nvme SSD (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QV692XY) work with this computer? Thanks!

A link to your particular system?

I know a SATA III SSD willl work, and be much faster than your HDD.
NVMe, maybe...probably.

Not positive....but I don't think it will work.

I spent 10 minutes searching and found no indication that your PC can accept anything other than ordinary spinning hard drives and standard 2.5 inch SATA SSD drives.

There are quite a few variations of the 885, so??

My computer is something close to this: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-TC-885-ACCFLi3O-Desktop-i3-8100-802-11ac/dp/B07ML4GTCW

When I look at the mobo, i can clearly see a m.2 slot in there, though I'm not sure if that's the right kind.

"Something close" does not count.

Need to know the specific motherboard.

A random M.2 port may or may not be NVMe compatible.

You need to ID your EXACT 885 and then go for the manual.

I wouldn't expect Acer documentation to be easily accessible or thorough.
