Does the Dell Latitude 3189 Take an NVMe SSD?
Dell Latitude 3189
Every one of 21 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 Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series SATA AHCI Controller
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series Host Bridge
- Drives seen:
- LITEON CV8-8E128, SSSTC CV8-8E128-, INTEL SSDSCKKF12
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
Capacities seen
- 128 GB (100%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.
How we know
This answer is derived from 21 independent hardware reports for the Dell Latitude 3189, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
