Does the Acer Predator PH315-55 Take an NVMe SSD?
Acer Predator PH315-55
NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.
- Reports
- 10
- Saw NVMe
- 100%
- Fastest link observed
- PCIe Gen4 ×4
The fastest link we saw in real machines was PCIe Gen4 ×4. That is a floorobserved in field reports, not the slot’s ceiling — a faster drive still works because PCIe is backward compatible; it simply runs at the slot’s speed.
Field reports can’t tell us the physical connector, how many slots are empty, or which M.2 length fits. Check the service manual and the installed drive before you buy.
Reported by field data
- Storage controller:
- Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P SATA AHCI Controller
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation 12th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers
- Drives seen:
- Sandisk WD PC SN810 / Black SN850 NVMe SSD, Micron 3400 NVMe SSD [Hendrix], Phison PS5013-E13 PCIe3 NVMe Controller (DRAM-less)
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.

How we know
This answer is derived from 10 independent hardware reports for the Acer Predator PH315-55, of which 100% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
