Hi, here is my current SSD, with B and M keys:

and my choice for the new SSD is:

which obviously has one key only.

My CPU is intel i7-8565U and acer aspire 3 A315-55G-74LX.

Please advise, if I can use it on my laptop. newbie here, still blur about the keys on the SSD, harap faham. Thanks.

NO, it cannot fit.

Your existing Acer SSD slot looks like an M.2 SATA slot (the connector looks like it has 2 cutout slots)

The SSD you're looking at is an M.2 NVME, it needs an NVME slot. The difference is that the NVME has an extra connector (the connector looks like it has 1 cutout slot).

Yes, that's what I thought too, yet at my laptop it labelled there 256 PCie NVMe SSD. Meaning acer is cheating user? It's quite difficult to search a M.2 SATA with high read/write speed.

I'll be very glad if that is the case. rclxms.gif

For reference, the closest thing I can find for the SSD slot info:

Acer Aspire 3

I though I already told u, don't need to worry about the B/M key.
