Asus X555L SSD Caddy + HDD + Boot Speed Test

[@DeepRoy1992]

Do not forget to reattach the keyboard and trackpad ribbon cables before assembly :)

[@ArunKumar-nu6ed]

From where did you purchased the caddy?

[@sufranabbas1317]

Bro, my dvd rom is 9mm thick. Is it possible to fit 9.5mm caddy here?

[@sambitter1878]

check at 4:10 he mentioned that use 9.5mm or less

[@sambitter1878]

because he wants to use ssd and hdd at the same time and ssds are fail safe no matter how many times they are used but incase of hdd if the your laptop cuts the supply to your hdd thinking that it is a dvd drive to save battery then your hdd will not work until you restart you system again

[@afifafiq2693]

Did you know the caddy size for asus x455l

[@asimov1435]

I just installed a Crucial SSD yesterday,didn't even upgrades de RAM( which I will). And it goes from power on( not sleeping mode) to you tube in 1440P in 27 seconds!! SSDs are such a good invention. Thank you for the video,was very useful.

[@LAUGHINGMAN91]

Bro we just used your videos for adding RAM super helpful thank you! Actually there was no ram in there...I think 4gb was soldered on to a different location. X555Q model.

[@waijean90]

To audience who watches this: Better not to try removing cover of dvd drive if you are not familiar with it. The process is not as simple as the one liner stated in video

[@rhontis]

I learned this the hard way. Broke some small parts, but still okay.

[@pickswarrior]

Original HDD slot is Sata 3 and optical drive slot is sata 1. So if you put you're SSD in the caddy speed will be limited. I think the best thing here is to put the mechanical hdd in a USB 3 external case. what do you think?

Simply change the two. Put the HDD into the optical drive case and the faster SDD to the place of the HDD.

the two ports are sata 3

[@adityasalunkhe8156]

Its safe to put mechanical hard drive into optical drive caddy, my friends laptop runs fine in that configuration, there is no such thing as sudden power cuts to drive during shutdown and it wont damage your HDD, the video uploader just has a paranoid feeling because he hears a "screeching" sound during shutdown when HDD is in caddy.

[@zcodec369]

Thank you very much. I was planning to do an hdd caddy setup. Because another ssd would be so pricy. Mine is already ssd as default. So I needed bigger storage. Thank you for your comment! I got discouraged becoz of the comment of on the video but now Im okay with proceeding.

I've fixed the clicking issue. At the beginning i had the clicking issue when i switched off the laptop. Then i used gparted livecd to remove the system partition (EFI), system restore and OS and keep and extend the data partition from the mechanical HDD since then no more clicking when i shut down.

[@mcmc3001]

so best option for this laptop model is hdd in optical bay caddy, ssd in hhd place?

[@GOLIATH283]

Did you change anything else besides that? Like disabling power managment for the optical drive

[@ofardo8046]

@@mcmc3001 if you understand the issue and know how to solve it, then sure go ahead and replace the old hdd with the new ssd. Apparently the x555 line of Asus laptops have the issue of the hdd not working properly when removed of their original place. I really don't think there will be a huge difference in performance when you change the hdd to the ssd and adding the hdd to the caddy compared to what is seen in the video (ssd in the caddy, hdd in its original place).

Really can't put the HDD in the caddy??? The SSD works at full speed only out of the caddy

[@DeepRoy1992]

Leo Arriagada That setup will work but it might not be good for the HDD. I tried doing that and I've noticed the sound of suddenly cutting the power of the HDD, that is, inside the HDD the read and write arm resetting to it's default position in an instant resulting in a scratching sound while shutting down the computer every single time but in the current SATA port before shutting down the HDD is given time to reset its internal components before power is cut. In one word, that port is designed for a mechanical HDD. For an SSD though it doesn't matter much when you cut it's power since it doesn't have mechanical parts inside. Hope it helps :)

[@DeepRoy1992]

Gas Media The first setup will work but it might not be good for the HDD. I tried doing that and I've noticed the sound of suddenly cutting the power of the HDD, that is, inside the HDD the read and write arm resetting to it's default position in an instant resulting in a scratching sound while shutting down the computer every single time but in the current SATA port before shutting down the HDD is given time to reset its internal components before power is cut.

[@gascl]

thx a lot for your response! one more thing: there is a speed factor between the two options? can i use the caddy as a primary OS storage?

[@DeepRoy1992]

Gas Media Bus speed of these ports are much higher than the drives and yes the SSD in the caddy can be used as a primary storage for the OS. I have been personally using the exact same setup for more than a year now without any problem. Cheers! :)

Xardos You could have just unplugged the old HDD and let the notebook boot with only the SSD in it. That's how I did it. Anyway, glad to know the BIOS update worked for you + you now have the latest BIOS. Cheers :)

[@matiasgomez9393]

Hi, I was wondering if there won't be any problems if the ssd immediately shuts down as it is connected on the DVD port. Not talking about problems with the drive, but problems with the OS as it is installed there. As far as I know when you shut down your pc windows takes some time to save any work in the background (windows processes for example) so when you power up your pc again there won't be any problems, but as you said in the video, the ssd will shut down immediately or almost immediately. The question is, would that affect the OS?

[@DeepRoy1992]

Matias Gomez I've been using this setup for myself more than 2 years now without any trouble. I have a feeling that the process you're talking about is completed very quickly in a SSD as I haven't seen any data become corrupt or BSOD in mine. Hope it helps and happy new year :) 🎉

[@matiasgomez9393]

Deep Roy thanks for answering so fast. I thought that as it was an ssd it may complete those processes much faster, thanks for confirming it. And happy new year too

[@reezdog]

Great video yaar. But why not just replace the mechanical hard drive and leave the CD ROM?

[@ofardo8046]

His laptop has a 1tb hdd and replacing it with an 1tb ssd is very expensive. The method shown in the video is much cheaper and you get to keep the 1tb hdd and upgrade it to 1250gb if you get a 250gb ssd for example. If you frequently use the optical disk drive then the method in the video is obviously not for you, but there is a lot of people who don't use it, and many modern laptops don't include it anymore.

[@reezdog]

@@ofardo8046 good point. I only use the laptop for school and business stuff maybe light gaming. I think a 500GB would be fine for it.

[@George-yd1ns]

Hi I have a few questions. Does this work on any laptop with a CD drive? So since we are not putting ssd as main hard disk there won't be a speed increase right (eg. boot time won't decrease)? But you said something about installing OS on the ssd...how is this possible because isnt the ssd the secondary storage? Can you give me a link for some tutorial to do that...(putting os on secondary storage)? So what all programs do you store on Ssd(secondary storage) and what all on hdd(main storage)? And are you strongly against putting HDD on secondary storage? (because elsectricty gets cut off during shut down and because it is vulnerable to force of impact and HDD has mechanical parts so it will go bad)?

[@George-yd1ns]

Sorry for all these questions but I'd appreciate it greatly if you could answer them!

[@DeepRoy1992]

The length, breadth and shape of typical 15.6” notebook CD/DVD-drives are usually the same, the most important thing (I believe) to be careful about while buying a caddy is its thickness. Ok so as far as I know and have seen happening to my notebook, if you put your OS in any kind of SSD (irrespective of the port connected to and expecting you have moderate specifications) you’ll notice a huge speed boost in app load and OS boot speeds compared to a HDD especially if you’re using one of those newer OSs (Windows 10 for example) Search in youtube “how to transfer OS to SSD”. Now everyone will use some usb to SATA cable to connect the new SSD. All you have to remember is that your caddy works the same way as their cable. You don’t necessarily have to buy a cable for the transfer process if your SSD doesn’t come with one My OS and all programs are installed in the SSD. Games, pictures, videos, music and other bulk data are in the HDD. The SSD is primary since it contains the OS and (as far as I know) does not depend on the port connected to. I strongly recommend NOT putting the HDD IN THE CADDY. I personally experienced the power cut thingy, it wasn’t written anywhere. As far as I know, mechanical drives have a tendency to go bad because of sudden power cuts. Hope it helps :)

[@George-yd1ns]

Deep Roy THANKS A TON FOR THE REPLY! It really helps man and I really appreciate it! Ah I thought only if you put the ssd in the actual spot (where the HDD is initially when you buy it) will it be considered. I didn't know whichever storage that has the os will be considered primary :P Anyway once again thanks a ton man! Much love

Why you don't put the HDD in the caddy and then the SSD on the HDD place?

When i put the SSD at the HDD slot and HDD at caddy bay, it is true that i hear the 'click' sound when restart the laptop, Shut down is normal. Then i try HDD at stock slot and SSD Caddy: Shut down is normal (because there is a command "" stop everything before shutdown) but every time when i restart, the 'C0 Unsafe Shut down Count' increase by 1. I think Deep Roy is right, the mainboard thought that was the DVD, so it will cut the power. So i guess, just shutdown the laptop for safety

[@Vash.Baldeus]

One issue with your guide, if you check the old dvd drive you pulled out there's a latch attached on it with 2 screws on the back, said latch is used to secured the drive to the computer itself using a screw, something you failed to do in this video, meaning the drive can be pulled out from the laptop with relative ease. Bad guide, missing few important steps such securing the caddy to the laptop!

[@DeepRoy1992]

Vash Baldeus If you look carefully the Espada SS95U caddy does not have the latch most probably because of universal compatibility. About the caddy releasing itself, well, the fit is very tight in this slim laptop and I've been personally using this setup for more than a year now, carrying it in my backpack without anything of that sort happening. Also once you've put the plastic cover of the dvd-drive on the caddy it becomes flush with the notebook's surface which makes it even more difficult to pull out accidentally. Hope it helps :)

[@Vash.Baldeus]

Deep Roy thing is, the caddy has screw holes right at the same spot where the dvd drive has its latch screwed. meaning you can move it from the dvd drive onto the caddy.

[@youfook5791]

Yes of course. The only reason he's using caddy is because there's only one sata slot.

[@niallwood]

yes quite easily, notice the HDD in the bottom right? you can swap that out for an SSD no bother, thats what ive done with mine

[@SubhamD93]

How can I make the ssd in the caddy bootable. I am not getting the option, I have a similar r5558uq

[@GiridharanNandakumar]

did you found the solution?

[@juanpastor816]

Which SATA gen port is used for DVD in Asus X555LN? SATA 1, 2 or 3?

[@sfermdc]

Have you figure this out? I have the same unit.

[@alighorbi1837]

@@sfermdc I have the same question. Did you find the answer?

[@jnchacon]

Hi, I was thinking in doing the same, but putting de SSD in the place of the HDD and de HDD in the caddy. But yoo say that it does not work. Is that true? Why? If I do exactly what you did? How do I boot from the SSD (bios setup?) thank you for the video.

[@DeepRoy1992]

Juan Chacón That setup will work but it might not be good for the HDD. I tried doing that and I've noticed the sound of suddenly cutting the power of the HDD, that is, inside the HDD the read and write arm resetting to it's default position in an instant resulting in a scratching sound while shutting down the computer every single time but in the current SATA port before shutting down the HDD is given time to reset its internal components before power is cut. In one word, that port is designed for a mechanical HDD. For an SSD though it doesn't matter much when you cut it's power since it doesn't have mechanical parts inside. For the boot, after transferring the OS just take out the HDD and it should automatically boot from the SSD, if it doesn't then keep tapping f2 to enter bios then > Boot > Boot option priority > set it to your SSD. If it still doesn't boot then enter bios again > Save and Exit > Boot Override > Your SSD > hit enter. You're welcome :)

Thank you Roy, I still have a question. You mention that "For the boot, after transferring the OS just take out the HDD and it should automatically boot from the SSD, if it doesn't ..." The thing is that I want to keep the HDD for storage (is 1TB). It should be posible to do the change in the BIOS and not to take out the HDD, right? I assume that you are doing the same. Regards,

[@DeepRoy1992]

Juan Chacón Yes, it will work and yes, I'm doing the same. By telling you to take out the HDD I didn't mean for you to take it out permanently. Once it boots from the SSD turn the computer off and put the HDD back in again and the next time you turn the pc on it should boot and show the HDD as a secondary D drive. If it doesn't then in the BIOS you can try doing the steps I mentioned in the previous comment. Hope it helps :)

[@jnchacon]

Thank you!

[@DeepRoy1992]

Juan Chacón You're welcome :)

[@doublesnake18]

you can put the caddy without open all the PC ... but well , good video

[@DeepRoy1992]

MZM Just showed the how to open process for the people who might need. Thanks for your kind words though :)

[@DeepRoy1992]

MegaMathuu If it's your first time then you have to open it because there is a screw holding the optical drive as you can see at 3:53. Afterwards, you can do it by pulling it out from outside since the caddy doesn't have a screw hold but I don't recommend that because it's too tightly fitted in this slim form factor notebook. So it's better to carefully open the notebook to replace it. Hope it helps :)

[@DeepRoy1992]

MegaMathuu Pleasure :)

[@arunavabanerjee1315]

What is the size of your caddy 9.5 mm or 12.7 mm (thickness) ?

[@thepigeonlord4275]

9.5mm, seen at 4:12

[@mr.es1857]

Is it the same caddy for the x555dg?

[@acil12]

thanks a lot ..

[@kowshikmareedu3643]

Still wondering how to reattach the mousepad cable

[@mirujowo]

I no longer have it.. Hahaha

[@paul7498]

is it possible to install two OS with this configuration?

[@GeekPeek]

Bro I have same laptol from 3years now it is very slow I also want to do it

[@ryan-we1ml]

can you tell me how to transfer the os? thanks alot

[@tekmadpolska673]

I see,so you add a ssd. but I have already two hard drives. I don't know if my odd slot is free or not.

[@DeepRoy1992]

If the ODD is present in the notebook there is a big chance that you can replace it with a SSD with the help of a caddy.
