Which 250GB SSD (Form 2280) is compatible with my Acer A515-51-563W ?

[Joe K]

Recently purchased an Acer Aspire-5 model A515-51-563W (TOSHIBA 1TB HDD), 8GBRAM, Win-10 with an internal slot for a SSD (Form2280) with a max capacity of 256GB. The Acer Community/Acer Support page have little information or cannot provide what I need to know, so I arrived here in search of an answer to my question: Which 256GB SSD (Preferably Samsung or Micron) is compatible with my laptop? I'll appreciate the answers and/or pointing me in the right direction.

I don't think that laptop is limited to a 256GB M.2 drive. That's just the factory option for people willing to pay for it.

Something like these should work just fine:

Awesome! Thank you UsandThem! Since you are an expert, do you like any particular brand better than the other one? (Crucial, WD, Samsung, which appear to be the leaders in this tech?)

Any of those are great choices. I would personally just go with whichever one was on sale at the time I needed one.

Great, I just checked prices and it looks like the Crucial & WD are about $25 cheaper that the Samsung.. Crucial $75; Samsung $95; WD $75.) I really appreciate your opinion.
