Does the Acer Aspire 7560 Take an NVMe SSD?

Acer Aspire 7560

Every one of 9 field reports observed SATA storage rather than NVMe.

That is useful evidence about the reported machines, but it does not prove that every configuration lacks an NVMe slot or that the installed SATA drive is 2.5-inch rather than SATA M.2. Check the service manual, connector, dimensions, and current drive before ordering.

Field reports can’t tell us whether the SATA drive is a 2.5-inch bay or a SATA M.2 slot, nor which M.2 length fits — check the service manual before you buy.

Reported by field data

Storage controller:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
Platform:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 12h Processor Root Complex
Drives seen:
Hitachi HTS54755, Samsung SSD 750, WDC WD5000BPVT-2

Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.

Capacities seen

  • 500 GB (50%)
  • 480 GB (25%)
  • 240 GB (25%)

Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.

How we know

This answer is derived from 9 independent hardware reports for the Acer Aspire 7560, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
