Does the ASUSTek Computer VivoBook 15_ASUS Laptop X540MB_X540MB Take an NVMe SSD?
ASUSTek Computer VivoBook 15_ASUS Laptop X540MB_X540MB
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 Device
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation Device
- Drives seen:
- TOSHIBA MQ01ABF0, KINGSTON RBUSC18, SanDisk SD9SB8W1
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 (50%)
- 2 TB (17%)
- 1 TB (17%)
- 480 GB (17%)
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 VivoBook 15_ASUS Laptop X540MB_X540MB, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
