Hi,

I have ASUS Vivobook S15 S510UQ. I want to upgrade SSD to m.2 and I know that there are two types of m.2 ssd's.
Can my laptop upgrande to that faster (not sata3) m.2 ssd?

Possibly.
Some m.2 ports can use either a SATA drive or an NVMe drive.
But by no means ALL of them can.

Unless I found specific documentation that says otherwise, I'd lean towards SATA only in this case.

What is in it now?
What does it say in the user manual?

Now there is sata3 m.2 128gb ssd. I have read that there still might be posibility to put faster ssd, even if sata3 m.2 is already put by the laptop maker
