    I am looking to upgrade my AREA 51's 120GB SSD to a 512GB Samsung Pro NVMe SSD. Does anyone know if this is possible on the Area 51 that I purchased in March of 2015?
    Thanks.

    We haven't specifically tested it, therefore it isn't a recommended upgrade. However, I've seen that some people have been able to install it on their PCIe slots.
