How did you upgrade your main OS drive to a larger SSD? I've seen some videos of people cloning their OS drive or partitions using software and then replacing the drive, but it seems some encounter issues during the process. Did you have to configure anything in the BIOS or use a safe boot mode to make it work? It would be really helpful if you could share your experience or any tips, as I currently have a 250GB SSD for my OS, which feels too small.
Tech noob here, are there some sort of requirement like what brand of SSD should I be using for this specific laptop/model in terms of compatibility? Or the links that you provided are the only SSD's that are compatible with it? Thanks in advance man.
Great video! Sp, I have this gaming laptop in my cart. Comes with 16gb of RAM and the 512GB Gen 4 SSD. I also have an external 2TB to install my games on. How will this handle games like Spiderman?

Is there an impact if SSD slots 1 and 2 are different in size?. The problem is my storage is already in the red and I intend to just add 2 TB (if possible) 😅
@305TechOfficial but sir, I read comments saying that the SSD is not detected and you have the same problem, but when people ask "can it be added to 2 TB?" You answered "can". Now I want to ask whether your warranty is void when you say you have to contact Acer service to send USB recovery?

If you install a second drive you can keep the 500gb as a primary drive which will have windows or you can reinstall windows on the second drive or thirdly clone over the data to the new drive. You have a few options… thanks for watching

Normally you would add a heat sink. In your case all you can do is add thermal tape. Likely .5mm. Hopefully the backplate has a metal shield on the inside (I think it does) to conduct the heat away via the thermal tape, as that is why they had heat tape on the single chip of each M.2 drive.
The same happened to me! I did everything and doesn’t work… I’m really sad with that, notebook don’t even recognize SSD at BIOS (I tried with my WD SN570 blue).

Hi! I have the same issue and same configuration, didn’t really fix it but I found that when you turn on performance mode for fans, it doesn’t crash, so that’s probably overheating.

you really should at the very least unplug the battery when doing stuff like this; wearing latex gloves is advised too i guess you can short components (motherboard for instance) though by not unplugging the battery... drop something on the board like a screw (happened to someone i know), ram stick or in your case, an ssd drive and you can really fuck something up accidents happen and in this case, it's something that is so easily avoidable by literally just unplugging a cable
I love this laptop fr. I had an Asus the newest and best I had the a few others and I just love the Acer nitro 5 4050. Laptop is so great I've had no problems at all playing any game, streaming, uploading content, downloading. And u can upgrade so many things I love it. I'll always have one now
Another one...why the frk are you not installing thermal tape. It is absolutely required to ensure the drive doesn't throttle. It is why they had thermal tape on the old drive, but now you have more chips to cool. Also, no one should be buying double sided m.2 drives for installs like this as you will never cool the other side. o.O

Hi, can i use HDD 2.5 Instead of SSD for additional Storage?
Did you undervolting your CPU and how? I can't do this because advanced bios is locked...
Bios is locked, can’t do anything
3060 4Gb or "6Gb" ? 1.25L in India
3060 is 6gb in laptops and 12gb for external gpus
you really should at the very least unplug the battery when doing stuff like this; wearing latex gloves is advised too i guess
you can short components (motherboard for instance) though by not unplugging the battery... drop something on the board like a screw (happened to someone i know), ram stick or in your case, an ssd drive and you can really fuck something up
accidents happen and in this case, it's something that is so easily avoidable by literally just unplugging a cable
I’ve never shorted anything in my 20+years doing this.

I love this laptop fr. I had an Asus the newest and best I had the a few others and I just love the Acer nitro 5 4050. Laptop is so great I've had no problems at all playing any game, streaming, uploading content, downloading. And u can upgrade so many things I love it. I'll always have one now
Glad you love your nitro!
2280 or 2242?
2280
Acabo de retractarme de mi dicho, Acer tiene pésimo sistema de refrigeración en las nitro 5, pero con este modelo se ve que le pusieron más atención
Si, mejoraron bastante.
Another one...why the frk are you not installing thermal tape. It is absolutely required to ensure the drive doesn't throttle. It is why they had thermal tape on the old drive, but now you have more chips to cool. Also, no one should be buying double sided m.2 drives for installs like this as you will never cool the other side. o.O
Thanks for watching and commenting!
