Does the ASUSTek Computer 1005PXD Take an NVMe SSD?

ASUSTek Computer 1005PXD

Every one of 29 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:
Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
Platform:
Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx DMI Bridge
Drives seen:
A SU650, SAMSUNG HM160HI, ST9320325AS

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

Capacities seen

  • 120 GB (45%)
  • 250 GB (20%)
  • 160 GB (20%)
  • 320 GB (15%)

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

How we know

This answer is derived from 29 independent hardware reports for the ASUSTek Computer 1005PXD, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
