Does the ASUSTek Computer E402NA Take an NVMe SSD?

ASUSTek Computer E402NA

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 Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series SATA AHCI Controller
Platform:
Intel Corporation Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series Host Bridge
Drives seen:
TOSHIBA MQ01ABF0, ST1000LM035-1RK1, WDC WDS250G2B0A-

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

Capacities seen

  • 500 GB (60%)
  • 250 GB (20%)
  • 120 GB (20%)

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 E402NA, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
