QuestionWill this model (ph315-55-795c) support two ssds in a raid 0 configuration? Is it supported through the bios?
Asked 3 years ago by Andrew.
- Answer Doesn't appear to be a way to configure it in the bios for RAID. On previous recent models you go into the bios (F2), then hit F1 for advanced settings, then goto I believe is the Main section then hit CTRL+S and the SATA mode would appear and could change it to RAID and setup the RAID0 or RAID1. On this model you cant configure it. The only way I could get it working is I put both m.2 in my old laptop which is intel 11 series also using the VMD controller, setup the 2 drives in RAID 0, then put them in the ACER, and the ACER did see 2 drives as 1 RST RAID 0 Drive. So the bios does support it. If anyone has found a way to do this on this model please let us know.

QuestionWhy for the "What Experts are saying" does it show articles from the 2020 Acer Predator? Is Best Buys website that dumb to not get the reviews from other sites correct for the newer version?
Asked 3 years ago by RichFUBB.
- Answer Yes.. The Acer website is also still getting the product support references sorted out but they are there. They just take a bit of poking around to find. I think mostly because it's a new version and acer didn't do a very good job clarifying the versions. I don't really think it's best buys fault. It's just too new yet..

QuestionThe support link on Acer's website for this product appears to be broken. They don't even list the specifications for this system (PH315-55-795C) configuration. Do you have a list of supported memory chips approved for upgrades (32x2 or 16x2 kits)?
Asked 3 years ago by Andrew.
- Answer The crucial 2x32 booted into Windows ok. The first time after the change it took a couple minutes to post. I think it also needs to be plugged in during the initial loop. I gave up the first time off just the battery. The metal plate over the ram has small clips along its edge that you need to be careful with. There are also heat pads on the ram and inside the case bottom for the SSDs. I don't know if what's there is sufficient for a double sided ram chip. I may try improving that some. No heat testing done w the new parts yet but don't despair.. just wait longer.

QuestionCan this laptop support 64GB of DDR5 4800Mhz memory?
Asked 3 years ago by Aaron.
- Answer I have the Crucial 64gb 4800 mhz kit installed and have been enjoying it for several weeks now. Be aware that it took Windows 11 a few minutes to boot after upgrading the Ram and adding a 4tb Crucial ssd. I freaked out for a couple minutes and then it was fine. Boots nice and fast now. Loving the Laptop so far. Replaced a MSI G66 stealth that just died on me.
