Hi, my laptop is Acer R5-571TG-765T.
1. Does the bare bones motherboard have the same physical configuration as your R5-571T-59DC?
2. Is M.2 NVMe SSD compatible with my motherboard?
3. My laptop runs hot even with a cooling fan stand beneath. Would you recommend NVMe?
4. If heat is a problem, and availability of reputable and affordable M.2 SATA is lacking where I am -- will I be able to use a 2.5" SATA SSD as a boot drive and keep my existing 2.5" SATA HDD as a D drive at the same time?
Thank you!
