Hi, My laptop Asus Rog Strix g15 ryzen 7 have 512gb installed ssd and I want to upgrade to 1tb. Which is better option for installation 1. 512 GB as primary and 1 tb as secondary. or 2. 1 tb primary and 512 GB as secondary

[@mysimplefix]

Option 2, where you use the 1 TB as the primary drive and the 512 GB as secondary, would generally be the better choice, as theres more storage for the primary drive for your operating system and main applications, which benefit from more available space for better performance. Having 1 TB for this ensures you have plenty of room for growth. 2. Performance: Larger SSDs often have better write performance and endurance than smaller ones. Using the 1 TB as your primary will take better advantage of this. You can use the 512 GB as secondary storage for files, games, or less critical applications.

Did the whole thing and the laptop ASUS ROG Strix G17 (G713PI-LL066W) is no longer starting up, it went dead on me .. :(

Could be a number of issues, like incompatible or partially unseated RAM/ SSD for your system. Defective/damaged hardware that was installed? I'd first make sure all components are seated properly. Verify correct parts for your machine, power off and revert back to the old hardware to see if it posts (no need to uninstall and reinstall the screws each time). The system should boot, unless there was possible damage during installation. If it does, installl the 2nd SSD. Try again. If it's good, re-upgrade the RAM. I'd run through this progressively one step at a time. Let us know what happened.... Also,... There could be a BIOS setting that is not liking the new hardware. These are all possibilities.

@@mysimplefix Yes I was contemplating doing just this, reverting back to old hardware configuration to see if it results in powering on. I 'll comment on it later.

@@mysimplefix I finally got it right. 64 ram is not compatible with ASUS 713PI-LL066W The extra SSD works like a charm :D
