ASUSTek Computer ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506IU_FX506IU

NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.

Reports
45
Saw NVMe
100%
Fastest link observed
PCIe Gen3 ×4

The fastest link we saw in real machines was PCIe Gen3 ×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:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
Platform:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Renoir Root Complex
Drives seen:
Micron 2210 NVMe SSD [Cobain], Samsung SM981/PM981/PM983, TOSHIBA HDWL120

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

Capacities seen

  • 2 TB (90%)
  • 128 GB (10%)

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