Can we add bothe hdd and ssd?

[@gwenzeezee]

Thank for this tutorial! I was planning on bringing it to the shop because I couldnt figure how to install a second 2.5" SSD, this saved me money and travel even though its already a 1 year old video!

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@HelloThere-gb3ji]

My laptop didn’t come with the caddy and connector, is there a part number I can look up to find one?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

No idea

[@kensheppard9175]

Great video! Thank you!!

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

My pleasure. Smash the like and sub :)

[@kylefritts7709]

Sorry not a very techcy person here, but will anything change in this video if I used a hardrive with more gigabits?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Yes you can use any 2.5” hard drive or SSD type drive.

[@jessyracraquin2322]

I have Aspire A515-53G. Do I just buy any SDD and I can upgrade it? Or is there like a specific sdd that I have to use? Sorry not very techy.

[@jessyracraquin2322]

My storage is only at 125gb.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Any 2.5" SSD would work. The link to the one I used is in the video description below.

[@The_Lord_Of_Confusion]

thanks, helped a lot

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Glad it helped. Smash the like and sub :)

[@nauticwvter]

if the little latch that holds the connecter strip breaks is there a way to fix it?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

You will probably have to replace the whole cable.

[@Ren_Haru]

Hello if I download stuff how i download stuff in there because i have free download manager it say i have only the gb i have on acer but not on the ssd i installed

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

I don't understand your quesiton

[@Ren_Haru]

@@ToolsElectroDIY well I have a free download manager that say how much GB i have and i install a 2 TB SSD in my laptop but still say that so like how do i make the download go to the SSD?

[@mohammadiaa]

I'm confused, I thought it was mandatory to disconnect the battery before inserting the SSD. Or is this optional?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

optional. just make sure the laptop is powered off

[@mohammadiaa]

@@ToolsElectroDIY thank you

[@beanerup1030]

if i got the laptop without the parts needed to add the extra ssd, is there a place to get the exact parts again?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

no. you can only use USB port.

[@kousikkayal5082]

WD blue 500gb ssd not showing at boot menu. Can anyone help?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Try format it first?

[@kousikkayal5082]

@@ToolsElectroDIY I want to use that ssd as bootable device. And no other slot is open. How to format?

[@ramzyt388]

Hello I think my hard drive is broken is it ok if i removed it and replace it with only the SSD ? thank you in advance

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Yes, you can. But as you can see, the original SSD is NVME type, just by the same type to replace it then you will be fine.

[@KurtDemesa-i7u]

would you say this laptop is still fast before the upgrade?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Yes it was.

[@NasserAljitlawi]

you saved my life

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

why

[@jmandrada9941]

Does adding ssd make the laptop faster?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

In this case, no.

[@cesaraquilesduero5160]

Can the 1tb version fit or is it to thick?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Yes

[@Emma16101989]

Would this work for the acer aspire 5 1515 - 56?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Highly likely. As I assume Aspire 5 series share the same internal design.

[@igilikmeirambek8824]

1:10 USB type-C???

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

why

[@JAFFER3657]

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the build quality of this laptop?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

8
