Does the Notebook W35xSS_370SS Take an NVMe SSD?

Notebook W35xSS_370SS

Every one of 25 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 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode]
Platform:
Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller
Drives seen:
WDC WD10JPVX-60J, WDC WD5000LPLX-0, HGST HTS721010A9

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 (39%)
  • 500 GB (26%)
  • 180 GB (17%)
  • 128 GB (17%)

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

How we know

This answer is derived from 25 independent hardware reports for the Notebook W35xSS_370SS, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
