ASUSTek Computer ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706QR_FA706QR

NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.

Reports: 29
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

Platform:: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Renoir/Cezanne Root Complex
Drives seen:: SK hynix Gold P31/BC711/PC711 NVMe Solid State Drive, Micron 2300 NVMe SSD [Santana], Samsung SM961/PM961/SM963

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