Not open for further replies.
Can you put the original 250gig in another computer and run chkdsk on it ?
I need to see if the Acer can take a 1TB M2.

Also as per Rustys question
ive run chkdsk on the 250g sata (M2) using the acer swift ..it shows up as good
diskpart nor the bios see the 1 tb 970evoplus nvme
i dont have any other computers with a M2 skt
 
Acer Swift SF315-41 Compatible SSD Upgrades

Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SATA M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-N6E1T0)

Couple of examples of feedback;

It booted. Mark off because I thought it was NVME when I purchased (or rather, I didn’t know there was different M.2 types).

I wanted to get two of the 960 EVO Pro M.2 drives but my build was already too expensive. I'm not throwing shade at the 860 at all, as it transfers files very quickly. Even without the NVMe protocol, I feel like Samsung has truly gotten it right. Wouldn't go with any other manufacturer when it comes to M.2 SSDs.
 
If you read through the link Iposted or just the pages I pointed to it looks like
M2 sata is ok. M2 nvme will not work
the conclusion i've come to is the acer swift3 does not support nvme...it has a M2 skt
but will only read ngff sata sdd
if anybody has any links regarding this issue please let me know
regards
 
If you read through the link Iposted or just the pages I pointed to it looks like
M2 sata is ok. M2 nvme will not work
thanks for the link
samsung posted a 'fix' that doesn't work because the bios cant see the nvme
i agree "M2 nvme will not work" if anybody knows any different please post
regards
 
Not sure what else you need to know other than the drive that you have is not compatible and that you need the device at the link/s in my reply #24.
yes i agree nvme is not compatible?? thats what i said
i have since posted another issue regarding this laptop
which you might be able to help
regards
 
Where is your post ?
i was wondering myself ...couldn't find it
but i have since sorted my problem fwiw

the 970 evo was never going to work because the acer is not compatible with nvme ( thanks for the i/p )
the other issue about failling at 84% installing devices ( which i though i posted ) was sorted by
turning off secure boot. . . . it installed normally after doing this. . . ♪♪
much obliged for your help and support
regards
