SSD compatibility

[Purush_10]

Can anyone tell me if the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-574G-52QU supports an M.2 SSD? ? And if yes, then whether it's 80mm or less?

Acording to the spec sheet, no.

You have a single 2.5" SATA bay but you could also swap out the optical drive for an ODD Sata adapter bay and run a second hard drive (such as the original platter drive).

Unless it's well hidden or on the reverse side of the board, but you get a pretty good glimpse of what's on the board in that clip (I didn't see an m.2 slot).
