Does the ASUSTek Computer X751MD Take an NVMe SSD?
ASUSTek Computer X751MD
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 Atom Processor E3800 Series SATA AHCI Controller
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series SoC Transaction Register
- Drives seen:
- ST1000LM024 HN-M, SPCC Solid State, TOSHIBA MQ01ABD1
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 (86%)
- 256 GB (14%)
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 X751MD, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
