Re: Does the Acer Spin 3 have a spare m.2 or msata slot for a SSD?

ACE laurent_14 said:
Spin SP315-51 (Spin 3) has a M.2 2242/2280 SSD socket.
All original SSDs are M.2 SATA 3.0 (B&M keys). There is no information concerning NVMe 1.1 supported. They are shipped with Windows 10 so UEFI bios.

ACE laurent_14,

Thanks for your info. 

According to a reply to a question by Acer on amazon for the Spin 3 SP315-51-53C7:

Question:
Can you add an SSD to this laptop?
Answer:
While the system has an M.2 SSD slot, this model does not ship with an M.2 drive installed so the standoff pin and mounting screw are not included with the system. Unfortunately these parts are not available for purchase.

I bought a Spin 3 SP315-51-79NT from Costco.  Would this M.2 SSD Crucial MX300 work?

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX300-275GB-Internal-Solid/dp/B01IAGSDJ0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1481402121&sr=1-2&keywords=m.2+ssd

..... The label on the SSD picture says it is SATA 6Gb/s, 5V, 1.7a.

Guess I'll need to buy a standoff but what height standoff?  According to the question/answers for the Crucial MX300, 2 mounting screws are included.

Thanks,
