[@kevinbanks3839]

Thanks for posting this! I have never installed a SSD before. After I watched, it only took me 10 minutes to get my new drive up and running.

[@random_it]

Glad it helped!

[@PsychedelicDrummer93]

Excellent video, easy to follow and straight to the point. Thanks!

[@zakinthetube]

hey sorry, I have this laptop (the one with a 4050). for the m.2 I need a pci4 or a pci3x4 ?

[@BlarkMCGark]

For ram is Crucial a good brand to use? Also with ssd is western digital a good choice? Thanks again.

[@random_it]

Yes, absolutely... One of the leading brand and very reliable

[@Danie__I]

Which size was the screwdriver you used to unscrew the SSD screw?

[@stratomix333]

What's that tool you use to open up the carcass?

[@Moontorc_]

A "spudger"

[@BlarkMCGark]

Thanks brother. I habe this same laptop and am having issues with games like Last of Us, Grey Zone .... Was looking to upgrade to 32gb ram and 1tb ssd. Did you notice a big difference in gaming quality? Thanks again. Perfect video at ghe perfect time.

[@random_it]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad the video came at the right time for you. Best of luck with your upgrade-you're going to love the boost in performance!

[@takaz2614]

Can you leave a link to the products because I can't find them?

[@vucthanh]

Thanks for video. What is the type of the additional SSD: M-Key or B-Key?

[@denizavc6921]

I have a question. I upgraded the SSD by doing the same process. I noticed whenever I disconnect and reconnect the battery of my tuf f15 fx507 for the first time it does not boot up from battery power. In other words I have to plug the AC adapter whenever I disconnect/connect the battery. Any idea about why it is like that? After the first booting up I can turn off/on and restart using the battery. I checked my battery health and it is still %100 (new laptop) also I ran the system checkup and got 0 errors.

[@random_it]

try check the cmos battery if still 3V. lower than that try replace it with the new one.

[@cwxdaf152]

I had this problem just. I was very stressed thinking I'd broken something but it worked after I plugged it in and now will boot on battery. Maybe it knows when the battery has been unplugged and it's a precaution of some kind.

[@scottynewmanfm]

Hi, is cooling alright with the new SSD? Doesn't it need a heatsink? How hot does it run?

[@Dizo_PQ]

Hi is it necessary to remove battery connection while upgrade the SSD storage or not?🐥

[@random_it]

Its depend on the technician... some no need and some they will disconnect it... but most of them they recommend to disconnect it

[@Dizo_PQ]

@@random_it ok thanks 💙

[@goatguythepowerful]

It makes it safer, but as long as you fully power down the laptop, you should be fine.

[@esmeswanepoel5115]

Wait whut mine supports Gen 5 wth should i use then cause im on 8gb ram looking to upgrade to 16 and i got no clue on whut ram brand i should use

SSD recommendation for this laptop?

[@adib532]

u can do research for this ssd (gen 3) here is friendly price ssd 1.Lexar NM620(like this video) 2.MSI M390 3.Crucial P3 4.PNY CS1031 5.Acer FA100 for the maximum performance 1.Samsung 970 EVO plus 2.Samsung 980 (I used this on my laptop) 3.Hikvision E300 4.PNY XLR8 CS3030

[@CuriosityCrazes]

Does it support only gen 3 or can I upgrade it to gen 4 ? Plz help

[@adib532]

@@CuriosityCrazes of course not you must follow your laptop spec if it say PCle 3.0 nvme M2 you must go for gen 3 ssd if it say PCie 4.0 on your spec you can go for gen 4

[@Yeaitts]

Can i install 2tb ssd in its another non used nvme slot?

[@random_it]

2tb no problem... you can upgrade it

[@pochi1x]

Hello, can i use different GB rams? for example 8gb in one slot and 16gb in the other?

[@LairdJ56]

If using multiple sticks you want them to be matched pairs for best performance. So either two 8 or two 16gb of the same speed and preferably bought as a matched pair. You can mix up your storage drives but not your ram.

[@pochi1x]

@@LairdJ56 thank you! this helped a lot😊

[@random_it]

exactly

[@random_it]

Yes you can, but you cannot get the maximum performance speed from you RAM. I still recommend the same pairs of RAM as LiardJ56 mention.

[@pochi1x]

@@random_it Thank you so much! have a nice day.

[@0H.N3T0]

Do I need to install any specifc drivers to have the ram or the SSD work? Or does it simply work out the box most of the time?

[@goatguythepowerful]

It should work out if the box.

[@Shortx321]

Is it necessary to remove battery connection while upgrading.

[@CHILDOFGOD-o7z]

Yes

[@mcthaa7363]

I have a stupid question, what is the point with the black paper ? I got a TUF recently and there was this black paper as well as aluminum foil on the hard drive and ram. Do you know what it's for ?

[@random_it]

Its not black paper, its a plastic, it is for protection for the RAM. and the foil in hardisk is for ground purposes.

[@deeppatel3592]

Brother i did the same for additional ssd but its not showing in disk management.. what should i do?

[@lloydabrigo]

Disk management

[@MeinGoobbyXI]

I have the same laptop but I am currently using PCIe Gen 3 SSD and im not sure if it supports Gen 4 SSD or not, Im planning to buy 1TB SSD but mostly all of the 1Tb SSDs are Gen 4. Will a Gen 4 SSD work on this laptop?. Ive heard people saying that it does but im not really sure

[@random_it]

Some Asus TUF F15 support nvme gen 4... but not all some still using the nvme gen3

[@carlom.2194]

can you do 5400MHz upgrade for the RAM? Thank you !

[@random_it]

cannot, because this laptop using DDR4 RAM memory.... 5400Mhz is a DDR5 RAM totally different.

[@RealJayTrill]

how do you retain the data from the old drive?

[@remhauck1577]

This model has 2 ssd slots, he just installed a second drive in the empty slot so the original ssd is still there.

[@Greaf-hw9bc]

I got this laptop recently, i have a wd HDD will i be able to add that in this laptop?

[@goatguythepowerful]

No

[@MR-rq2yc]

Can I replace the 56wh battery with a 90wh one?

[@random_it]

I think yes, as long as the size of the battery are the same...

[@LairdJ56]

You can make your own mega batteries if you have a remote need. The power input of the charger is DC. The values are written on the charger. Use LifePO4 cells and a voltage regulator. Wire a BMS into the cells and add a GX 16 port to the cells so you can balance with a charger or charger with a the appropriate voltage through the bms. This negates the need to change the device battery. You can also use this to output to 12 and 5 V and supply power to all sorts of fun things like router and starlink

[@artnetwork5732]

for memory ram, is it compatible brand Kingston hyperx 16Gb 2stick?

[@goatguythepowerful]

As long as it is a sodimm ddr4 stick, it will work

[@nininukukuku6151]

Hello, what’s the maximum storage I can put into one ssd slot?

[@remhauck1577]

The manufacturor says it only supports a max of 1 tb per slot.

[@PsychedelicDrummer93]

I just installed a 2TB SSD in the second slot. Seems to working fine.

[@EbonyMcNicholas-s2z]

Do I need to change everything if I get the ssd storage?

[@random_it]

No need, just add the ssd storage...

[@EbonyMcNicholas-s2z]

@random_it okay no worries thank you

[@salmanou8900]

would it be possible to get 32gb of RAM in one slot ? rather than 16+16

[@goatguythepowerful]

Having 2 16gb sticks would be more efficient. You would be losing out on more speed but it could be done

[@Nainitalwai]

Nvei v5 supported?

[@random_it]

Nope... it wont support

[@divineniterise3565]

Can i add 4tb ssd ?

[@random_it]

I think 4tb SSD wont support

[@3choblast3r4]

I ordered an SSD and it will come today. Now i'm just regretting not having ordered some extra ram to go with it ..

[@random_it]

yes, better upgrade both once and for all...

[@dragandragan6469]

Can it support second ssd higher than 1TB?

[@LairdJ56]

Yes it can. I use a second larger drive and partition it to act as two separate drives. I use one half to take a mirror of my primary drive. That way if any updates happen or windows problems happen I just roll back and lose a few days… I then use the other half for all my external storage. You can buy m.2 caddies with usb c port and then get another of your larger drive and install the same drive and back up your larger drive. The cost of doing this is insurance against the time and energy fixing or losing data and time.

[@random_it]

I check on the official website of asus... They didn't mention the max storage device. but you can try with the 2gb nvme. its a matter of trial and error.

[@DrewSkinner]

Yes I just got the Asus TUF F15 (2023) I have it and I added a 2tb SSD to mine and am now trying to figure out the best ram upgrade that it can handle
