Does the Toshiba QOSMIO X875 Take an NVMe SSD?
Toshiba QOSMIO X875
Every one of 7 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 7 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller
- Drives seen:
- TOSHIBA MK5061GS, HGST HTS721010A9, Samsung SSD 840
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 (33%)
- 500 GB (33%)
- 256 GB (33%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.
How we know
This answer is derived from 7 independent hardware reports for the Toshiba QOSMIO X875, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
