Supplied SSD in base version
Supplied SSD in base version
If I purchase an S1 with the 512gb SSD will it be Sata or NVME? I think it is in the M2 socket that supports both but the Ace Magic site is not very clear on this point and they have not responded to my email enquiry.

Re: Supplied SSD in base version
As far as I know, all versions of the S1, including the one with the N97 CPU, ship with NVMe drives. Though the ACE MAGIC site itself is a little lacking in its specifics about exactly what type of drive it is, Amazon has a better description, and of people that have described theirs it's been NVMe.
With cost differences between full sized (2280) SATA and NVMe drives being nearly negligible these days, they tend to ship units that support NVMe drives with them rather than the SATA drives they sometimes used to ship them with.

I am buying one. When I get it I will post what is in it. Thanks for your response Gabe, Jim
Re: Supplied SSD in base version
I purchased the S1 from Firebat from AliExpress and it definitely has a SATA *not* NVME drive. The drive says SATA on it and its in the top slot which in the image above says is the SATA only slot...

That's a Firebat. It may be a further discounted brand that doesn't adhere to the same specs as the AceMagic models.

Re: Supplied SSD in base version
This is a reply to Andrew: The Ali Express listing for a Firebat S1 also states that it has an N100 processor. I was not aware that this model was delivered with that processor. The site also sells clothes etc so you should be a bit more circumspect, jim
Re: Supplied SSD in base version
I also think it a shame that Ace Magic sells to others in this manner, as they are destroying their reputation as it is. I need to edit this thought. It is not Ace Magic who is selling to these other parties, it is the actual manufacturer of all these brands. By doing this the manufacturer is harming all these brand names they are trying to develop.

Re: Supplied SSD in base version
To go back to my original question. After a months delay I got delivery of an S1. Because of the lack of 512gb versions they finally sent me a 1tb version. The SSD installed is a Rayson brand model RS1DOTSSD710. Pcie gen 4x4. I cannot find this brand but that is normal.
The chat function on Ace Magic is almost worthless as it operates on Chinese time and there is no active response on their websites in the US or Germany during our business hours. They also do not answer phone calls but ask you to leave a number for a callback which never happens.
