To be fair, I bought the WD Black 2230 1tb for 95 dollars at Best Buy which is average for a 1 tb ssd of the Gen 4 variety. Of course that was a deal and the normal asking price is 130 dollars. Cool mod though, I am interested in maybe one day going bigger on the ssd and I would consider it.
I appreciate the video I'm actually doing this today have all the parts coming in I didn't go with the l adapter everybody seems to be getting though I got the short board still version four so should be the same.. thanks for showing things to check and things that can go wrong.. it was an honest 1st person view .. which i appreciate 🙌😎
On my 5 day old ROG ally the SD cards fine and the thing does not get hot. so think it was just a launch issue honestly it is warm to the touch when i take it out and test it. My sticks are fine as well.
I understand the frustration behind being upset by the price point for large sized m.2 SSD's but I wouldn't challenge the design of the motherboard because if anything happens it's because it wasn't designed to handle the larger sized SSD for a reason. There is a dock where you can install an SSD as an extended storage device as well as buying a 1TB SD card. I hope nothing bad happens to your Ally. I rate this video 3 here's out of 5 ...here.
1 Sd card reader were becoming loose due to poor sholdering so heat did its thing there but nothing else. 2. Joysticks are just fine.. hall effect ones give u lots of trouble so, not worth the fuss.
You could have taken advantage of having opened the Rog ally to magnetically charge the triggers (cover removed) this increases the sensitivity to touch and allows you to work longer with the springs
Ssd sizes are read as two separate numbers, not a single number, because they are two separate numbers. 2280 refers to 22mm wide x 80mm long, and 2230 refers to 22mmx30mm. Thus, they are read as “twenty-two eighty” and “twenty-two thirty”
Just wondering if the 2280 will later down the road be a bad idea. Just wondering why wouldn’t ROG use the 2280 themselves in the first place. I’m hesitant doing this even though I would love too.
I thought about that too but I think cost effective they may have already had a million of these types of ssds just like dodge did with the hellcat motors. They just stuck them in anything. Lol I could be wrong but it's a thought tho
If its the ally I would go with Lexar 790 due to power consumption, dramless uses alot less power and will be cooler which is what the ally needs. @@RubenNeves22
@blakejeffrey thank you, just bought it today im just waiting for the " L " shape 2230 to 2280 adapter, I hope the cloud windows install will go smoothly
The reason why the sd card reader suck because the operating temperature is 0c to 70c(base on datasheet). Once you go over 75c. Your SD carder reader write and read speed decrease. 82c or above, you are destroying your SD card reader. In other words, you cant play games on performance mode or turbo on my test. There is no way to stop this. All three of my Asus ally failed. I think in 8 months. Im going to rma my devices. I hope they fix it because im going to talk to FTC about this.
The reason for adapter is to use 2280 SSD which is cheaper then smaller SSD of 2230. Plus 2230 caps usually at 2tb with this you can use 2280 with 4tb if you wish.
I think you got too excited about the time lol literally all you had to do was wait for the rog to update. Took 30 minutes it restarted like 5 times in a row I’m all good to go.. all this was unnecessary
woah i am gonna do this and take one of my 2 terabyte out of my 8 terabytes I have in my gaming PC. I won't take the 4 terabyte SSD though lol.. Watch video first
I took a drink ever time you said "here" and I am wastsed.
I did the same thing but I added a heatsink to the SSD to be safe.
You should put some shield tape over the battery connector preferably a thermal shield also
Thats a good idea!

That ssd is literally above the cpu! I hope it doesn’t get too hot and burn out!

Love to know how this is working, any heat issues?
It’s all good, been using for 3+ months, got 4TB in mine.
@zacthegamer6145 where did you buy yours? can you give me a link?
@@zacthegamer6145can you tell me where did you get the 4tb?
Any followup on heat, performance drops or battery issues?
I'd be interested in that too.

Pretty sure you should be more concerned by the fact that the SSD is over the CPU heat sink rather then it being over the battery cable.
I think if you put some yellow tape and a thermal shield You should be fine
press the Y button for advance
I was see alot videos and nobody say we have to set the date and time before to make the cloud recovery.......really we have to set those??
I used a crucial t500 2tb. 30s degrees idle and 40-50s under load. 7000mb/s read speed. No heatsink needed.
Is that on performance mode(15w)? Have you tried Turbo 25w?
30w turbo with gaming and crystalmark
that ssd goes right over the cpu/gpu heat sync if the heat were to transfer to the ssd that will cut performance
I would say it's worth doing only if you add a heatsink to the ssd.

it's because of partnerships and deals
you have to plug it up
I believe the black sticker is just to keep the back cover from getting hot since its over the apu
I was curious about the Samsung 980 pro you used and an Lexar 790 both pretty similar specs and prices, what would you recommend ?
if its OS/boot drive, then 980 pro but if it’s Anything else then Lexar 790.
@@blakejeffrey it's to run os and play games on the ally

This is the same thing as a daughter card Pc's and servers have been using for many years
my adaptor got snapped by the postman lol. pissed. But Iused it anyway secured it with some insulating tape.
why the adapter they have the 2TB and higher on the smaller ssd that longer on without a heatsink may run it hotter ??
The reason for adapter is to use 2280 SSD which is cheaper then smaller SSD of 2230. Plus 2230 caps usually at 2tb with this you can use 2280 with 4tb if you wish.
price obviously..
Because 2280 format more cheapper and there are bunch of brands to pick, but yea they run a bit hot even if not gaming and more if gaming.
no heatsync?
Gonna add one soon, stay tuned :)
I think you got too excited about the time lol literally all you had to do was wait for the rog to update. Took 30 minutes it restarted like 5 times in a row I’m all good to go.. all this was unnecessary
woah i am gonna do this and take one of my 2 terabyte out of my 8 terabytes I have in my gaming PC. I won't take the 4 terabyte SSD though lol.. Watch video first
This was cringe 😂good job
Thanks lol!
You keep saying levano. It is Lenovo not levano
Actually no, he said Levano even worse
Idk how people even count this as a mod when youre doing zero modding and putting a ssd in the worst place possible lol
Why worst?will it heating more?
@@nicoa2467 yes and the ssd controller will take all of the abuse and shorten its life making it more prone to failure.
@@prodigy455seem looking good
Please stop saying "Here" I had to shut this off cause it is SO annoying. Also, it is LeNOvo, NOT Levano lol hahaha
Cringe video 😂
Thanks, lol!
