Does the ASUSTek Computer ZenBook UX425IA_UM425IA Take an NVMe SSD?

ASUSTek Computer ZenBook UX425IA_UM425IA

NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.

Reports
22
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] Renoir Root Complex
Drives seen:
Kingston OM8PCP3 PCIe 3 NVMe SSD (DRAM-less), Intel SSD 660P Series, SK hynix Gold P31/BC711/PC711 NVMe Solid State Drive

Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
