Does the ASUSTek Computer VivoBook_ASUS Laptop X505ZA_X505ZA Take an NVMe SSD?

ASUSTek Computer VivoBook_ASUS Laptop X505ZA_X505ZA

Every one of 70 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:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
Platform:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Raven/Raven2 Root Complex
Drives seen:
ST1000LM035-1RK1, TOSHIBA MQ04ABF1, Micron_1100_MTFD

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 (56%)
  • 240 GB (25%)
  • 256 GB (13%)
  • 128 GB (6%)

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