Hi:

 

Yes, you would have thought it would have worked based on the info in the service manual.

 

However, we found out from other forum members that have the same model series with the eMMC drives, that only SATA M.2 SSD's are supported, not NVMe.

 

So, if you exchange the NVMe SSD for a SATA one such as the Western Digital Blue SA510 SATA SSD, that one will work fine.

  • It doesnt have a cable for it, but it does have space for one. i really cant deal with 64GB of storage.

No, you use the same type M.2 but SATA.

 

I don't know what storage capacity you are wanting, but here is the 500 GB model:
