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

Hi all,

 

I'm doing this upgrade, and just FWIW, my Spin 3 had the M.2 riser for the screw installed.  I saw some early posts talking about acquiring hardware, and brackets, but mine had the riser.  I just needed an M2 screw.  NOTE: that's METRIC-2, not M-dot-2 Smiley Wink

 

I got an M2x5mm pan-head screw at Home Depot which worked.  BUT, I advise getting an actual screw meant for this purpose because the head of the screw is not quite big enough to make good contact on the drive.

 

Here is a shot of my machine after I opened it up and placed the M.2 drive, note the riser was already present, not something I had to acquire.DSC_1935.JPG

 

And here installed with the M2x5mm screw.  You should use a washer or a proper M.2 screw:
