Does the ASUSTek Computer ROG Strix G731GT_G731GT Take an NVMe SSD?

ASUSTek Computer ROG Strix G731GT_G731GT

NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.

Reports
7
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:
Intel Corporation Cannon Lake Mobile PCH SATA AHCI Controller
Platform:
Intel Corporation 8th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers
Drives seen:
ST1000LX015-1U71, Intel SSD 660P Series, Sandisk WD Blue SN500 / PC SN520 x2 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

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

Capacities seen

  • 1 TB (100%)

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

How we know

This answer is derived from 7 independent hardware reports for the ASUSTek Computer ROG Strix G731GT_G731GT, of which 100% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
