    Hey, great video! I have an ASUS X556U (it also says X556UA below the barcode in the back), it has a 1TB SATA 2.5" mechanical disk and i want to upgrade it to 480GB SSD, is it possible? Because according to ASUS site it only allows up to 256GB, but maybe it was because when it was manufactured the maximum SSD capacity was 256GB, i don't know. Did you ever try it with an SSD higher than 256GB? Will a 240GB SSD work? Thanks!!!

      can remove the cd / dvd drive that few people use and put an adapter to ssd, i recommend putting the ssd to where it was an hd and put the hd in that adapter where the cd / dvd drive was, follow the adapter link in amazon . www.amazon.es/Segundo-Optical-Port%C3%A1til-DVD-ROM-Fujitsu/dp/B01FYVFO6E/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_es_ES=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3 % 95% C3% 91 & keywords = adapter + ssd & qid = 1561498299 & s = gateway & sr = 8-4
