Nov 1, 2017 3 0 510 Hello, I recently bought a G20CB with a GTX 1070, i7 6700 and a Toshiba 2TB 7200rpm drive. I wanted to know if it's possible to put a M.2 ssd in my computer. I am unable to find any good info online as there are so many different version of this pc. If my board is compatible with an M.2, which ones can I use, I've read there are different sizes and would need to know which one fit. Thanks Sort by date Sort by votes

Checking the model number in cmd just says G20CB Upvote 0 Downvote

Nov 1, 2017 3 0 510 Yes, is the PCIe x4 the slot size for the M.2? I guess there isn't a real way of knowing if my version supports the M.2 without opening it up. Upvote 0 Downvote

But...it may be limited to length, or size, or specific protocol (SATA vs NVMe). Without further info, no one can say specifically. Upvote 1 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here.
