Does the ASUSTek Computer TUF Gaming Take an NVMe SSD?

ASUSTek Computer TUF Gaming

NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.

Reports
19
Saw NVMe
95%
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] Raven/Raven2 Root Complex
Drives seen:
Kingston OM3PDP3 PCIe 3 NVMe SSD (DRAM-less), Sandisk WD Blue SN500 / PC SN520 x2 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, ST1000LM035-1RK1

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.
