Does the Samsung Electronics RV415-RV515-E3415 Take an NVMe SSD?
Samsung Electronics RV415-RV515-E3415
Every one of 32 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:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
- Platform:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 14h Processor Root Complex
- Drives seen:
- SAMSUNG HN-M101M, ST500LM012 HN-M5, Hitachi HTS54755
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
Capacities seen
- 500 GB (85%)
- 1 TB (8%)
- 60 GB (8%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.
How we know
This answer is derived from 32 independent hardware reports for the Samsung Electronics RV415-RV515-E3415, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
