Just got a new ssd for Christmas and used this guide to install it. Still works to this day! Thank you so much man. Merry Christmas! An extra thank you for showing how to initialize the new ssd in disk management.
Thanks for making this video, I have this exact laptop I purchased the sn850x and the pair of heatsinks, just installed them on both NVMe's with no issues.
Dear greetings from Colombia, I have the same laptop, is it necessary to disconnect the battery or not? I want to follow the same steps that you did in this upgrade tutorial.
Thanx for the video Dale. I got from the video that this laptop has 16 Gig of non upgradable RAM. Does that mean it's soldered to the motherboard and can't be removed for repair if a fault is suspected??
No reason you can't replace the original SSD with the higher capacity SSD. Install as second SSD, clone original SSD, set the new SSD to primary boot device. For that matter, you should be able to add a heat sink to the original SSD as well. Since these are Gen 3 SSDs, the heat sinks aren't usually necessary. This mobo doesn't support Gen 4, so if you're looking for a gaming laptop, this is not a good choice. It's more for creators and casual gamers, not for serious gamers.
@@timytimotius4679 That's not what I said - "No reason you can't replace the original SSD with the higher capacity SSD" You can upgrade the original SSD to up to 2TB. What I said was to first add the new SSD as the second drive, then clone the original drive. Then you can take out the original drive if you want, although I chose to keep the 1TB as primary and use the 2TB as storage. Sorry for any confusion.
Thanks for the video. This is actually really helpful as an owner of an Acer Swift X

good little upgrade there dale
Good to the point video my man. Just picked one of these up, I love the decent power in the super compact size. Onboard ram only negative on this imo.
Thanks for the help. Hardest part was taking out the screws...😉
Nice video, Dale. Can you provide a link to the heat sync you used on the new drive?
Hi. I meant to do that, but I just added the link in the description
@@CadillacComputerCenter Thanks!
@@CadillacComputerCenter hello sir, can i use ssd with pcie version 4 ? or just 3 in this laptop ?
Thanks for sharing, Dale !
I liked it. Good walkthrough. Thanks!

thanks for the video 🎉 just a quick qustion i want to put 2tb Ssd is that fine?
Hey man, is there a need for the heatsink on the ssd or will it work fine without it?
does this just fix overheating the ssd or does it just increases your storage? cause I plan to increase it
Will a 2mm heatsink fit or 1mm is the maximum thickness?
Thanx for the video Dale. I got from the video that this laptop has 16 Gig of non upgradable RAM. Does that mean it's soldered to the motherboard and can't be removed for repair if a fault is suspected??
That's right. Not removable. Kinda sucks. Lol
Hey! 😄 I bought the one with 512 SSD storage, can I put another one of 2 TB?
yes
@@АХули-д1фreally? Can you do a video on it?
Thanks very much sir 👏👏good luck on your work and life💛💛
Wao very well explained, thanks Sir ❤️
Does adding second SSD decrease the battery life? By how much? Thank you!
It may, just depends. You can go into advanced power settings and tweak the hdd power usage.
@@CadillacComputerCenter Thanks for the quick reply! Will check it out

is it nvme gen 3 or 4?
It's gen 3
Can u use a gen 4? Or the Mother board doesnt support it
ssd 1 TB and heat sink for data only kinda useless for me, i would prefer heatsink to place with os or ssd 1
