Detailed M.2 Bay Breakdown for Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51)
- Interface & Protocol:PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe
- Underside Max Clearance:≤2.38mm
- PCB Layer Requirement:Single-Sided Only
- Verified Max Capacity:4TB
Primary boot drive slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 throughput.
- Interface & Protocol:PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe
- Underside Max Clearance:≤2.38mm
