Does the Samsung Electronics 700T Take an NVMe SSD?

Samsung Electronics 700T

Every one of 14 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 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 6 port Mobile SATA AHCI Controller
Platform:
Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller
Drives seen:
SAMSUNG MZMPA064, SAMSUNG MZMPA128, Tanbassh 512GB

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

Capacities seen

  • 64 GB (67%)
  • 128 GB (33%)

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

How we know

This answer is derived from 14 independent hardware reports for the Samsung Electronics 700T, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
