Does the ASUSTek Computer VivoBook_ASUS Laptop X505ZA_F505ZA Take an NVMe SSD?

No NVMe drive was ever observed in 8 reports — this model almost certainly uses SATA storage (2.5-inch or SATA M.2).
Every field report for this laptop showed a SATA drive rather than NVMe, so an NVMe M.2 stick most likely will not work here. A 2.5-inch SATA SSD is the safe upgrade. We deliberately do not link NVMe drives on this result — a drive that cannot fit is worse than no recommendation.
Field reports can’t tell us whether the SATA drive is a 2.5-inch bay or a SATA M.2 slot, nor which M.2 length fits — check the service manual before you buy.
