Does the ASUSTek Computer VivoBook 15_ASUS Laptop X507LA Take an NVMe SSD?

ASUSTek Computer VivoBook 15_ASUS Laptop X507LA

Every one of 11 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 Wildcat Point-LP SATA Controller [AHCI Mode]
Platform:
Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Host Bridge -OPI
Drives seen:
TOSHIBA MQ01ABF0, 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

  • 500 GB (100%)

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

How we know

This answer is derived from 11 independent hardware reports for the ASUSTek Computer VivoBook 15_ASUS Laptop X507LA, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
