Does the ASUSTek Computer ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IH_FA706IH Take an NVMe SSD?

ASUSTek Computer ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IH_FA706IH

NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.

Reports
14
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/Cezanne Root Complex
Drives seen:
Micron 2210 NVMe SSD [Cobain], Realtek Semiconductor RTS5763DL (DRAM-less), Kingston OM8PCP3 PCIe 3 NVMe SSD (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 14 independent hardware reports for the ASUSTek Computer ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IH_FA706IH, of which 100% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
