No, this does not void warranty.

It will

[@TomyCaniza]

Yes, it will. You should wait until your guarantee is over before open your notebook.

Is a Hard Dirve for a PC the same size size a Hard Drive for a laptop because I was thinking about installing a HDD into my laptop but I am not sure if it will fit.

[@ScottieJ448]

your PC's HDD is most likely 3.5" and if so won't fit. For alaptop HDD you need to buy a 2.5" HDD form factor

A video on how to upgrade RAM would be great!

[@hackersnight]

It's actually very simple

[@Azhrei2000]

You take the back off like he did here, take out the Ram cards in there, put in your new ones... And probably disconnect the battery like he did in this video before you switch them.

[@wommpa6042]

I just did the ram it’s very simple if you’d like there are many tutorials that other people have made

my acer nitro 5 didnt come with extra screws and the ssd/hdd cable, how can I have those missing items?

[@MrScottBull]

Best contact Acer customer support in your country for that. The parts can be easily found online, but their compatibility can't be guaranteed.

You can get the cable from Acer support and you can get the screws off Amazon. The m3x3 just worked for the one I installed a few minutes ago

How do you install an m.2 in the second m.2 slot you have there? It looks like there is a screw already in the spot you would put one but in the opposite direction and not accessible

Anyone know what kind of hdd is compatible with acer nitro 5? I'm not good with this things i would like to know the size or brand that suits it, i hope anyone can help 🙏

[@Gizawar]

anything hdd or ssd thats 2.5''

[@MrScottBull]

Any 2.5" drive with a depth less than 9.5mm should fit, so that's either HDD or SSD drives. The M2 port will need an NVMe drive, the Acer here supports Gen 3, though I'm not sure if it supports Gen 4. Always go for a name brand from a reputable site or dealer too; don't buy used or a generic brand that you've not heard of. Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston, Western Digital, Seagate; all well known brands. Capacity varies, though the larger the capacity the more they cost, and if you decide to RAID the drives, you need 2 identical drives, (if you don't know what that is, chances are you don't need to do it). HDD's and RAM are some of the easier components to upgrade in gaming laptops, once you do it once you'll be confident in doing it, however CPU's and GPU's are very difficult, if not impossible. If you're unsure, ask if a tech friend can either show you how it's done or talk you through it.

[@tacdragzag7464]

Actually helpful... Great vid.

[@Daviedz]

Will it void my warranty if i add HDD? My newly bought Nitro 5 have warranty sticker in one of the screw hole.

[@gdaphoto]

Does anyone know if this will void the warranty by doing it yourself??? Sucks if I would have to bring it in to Acer Service for something I can do myself.

[@RetroLodge]

what do I do if one of my friends has lost the HDD upgrade packages's screws, I want to know if I can refer them to a link where you can get replacement screws.

Ich habe den Acer Nitro 5 NH.QAWEV.002 AN517-52-71C7 gekauft, mit 2x 8 GB Ram und I7 Prozessor. Es ist also nur ein M2 Steckplatz PCIe? Der 2. M2 und der 2,5" Steckplatz sind SATA? Wenn ich bei Ram Riegel tausche, kann ich da auch mehr als 2666 Mhz nehmen, oder würden z.b. 3200 Mhz da nix bringen, wenn ich beide tausche? Ich würde gerne auf 32 GB aufrüsten und noch eine zusätzliche 1 TB SSD verbauen. Danke übrigens für das Video. 😊

What does the Hard Drive do?

[@epicpaimon]

yea u can upgrade by yourself but then i think its gonna violate the warranty if u open the back case by yourself also the employee in Acer knew u open the back case cause the last screw is actually cover by a sticker(sealing tape)

[@MissAlyification]

It doesn't violate the warranty. Only violate it if you take the whole motherboard out. That's like saying you can't get it upgraded at all

[@redgamer821]

They wouldn't include screws for you to upgrade the drive if they would void your warranty for using them...

Does upgrading voids the warranty?

No, upgrading or installing any hardware(like SSD, HDD, RAM) on the Acer laptop will not void the warranty, even if you break the seal. The warranty will void only if you break anything during the process. ... DO NOT TRY TO UPGRADE your laptop yourself.... or do just dont break anything

[@AJose-xj2tj]

If you lose your D: drive when you hibernate or go to sleep then it could be the motherboard or the drive. I am assuming this is your second SSD and not your main drive. If you have another drive I would clone that drive to it and use it. If that one doesn't disconnect then it was the drive. If it does then you might want to see if you can get a warranty replacement for your Mobo.

And before the last use, also 4/6/7/8/... minutes. After it loaded into Windows, it was... normal. And now it completely stopped booting.

Your os in what storage?

[@mrangryburger1914]

So what does this do for your laptop exactly? Does it increase fps? Does it make the games run smoother?

[@winniethepooh8862]

when you download a game it takes storage. A laptop or pc has an SSD (a solid state drive) which has your storage capacity. Lets say my ssd has 256 gigabytes of capacity. And a game i downloaded takes up 248 storage. then i have 8 gigabytes left but i doubt that's enough to get a second game. so assuming your laptop or pc has an hdd (Hard drive) It does the same thing an ssd does. it has adds more storage capacity allowing you to get more games.
