Does the model 15t-k200 support M.2 NVMe SSD

[elmecumss]

Hi there the product number of my notebook is K2T37AV

I downloaded the service manual and it's specified that the motherboard support these SSDs

    - 256 GB mSATA solid-state drive MLC (not pictured) available on select models 766593-001
    - 256 GB mSATA solid-state drive TLC (not pictured) 766594-001

The manual has not been updated since 2015 and I wasn't sure if is possible to use an NVMe SSD updating the BIOS or with an specific driver, is it possible?

Best Regards

Hi:

Your notebook's model series will only accept a M.2 SATA SSD.

No BIOS updates or changes were made to allow for NVMe M.2 SSD's.

It is a CTO machine therefore we do not have its specs, but from the following information, looks like it does NOT have M.2 slot for SSD

Your machine could be configured to use single storage only. The only way to find out: open it

Thanks for mentioning about CTO, being honest, I didn't know what CTO stands for, I have a picture of my motherboard when I cleaned my notebook a while ago and I confirmed the manual specification, it does have an M.2 slot, but by reading the following link I came to the conclusion that it only support M.2 SATA SSD, I really advise everyone to read that, was pretty insightful
