    Thanks so much! Was totally confused until seal lock and why that screw wouldn't come out. Putting in a 1 TB stick was a breeze except for when I was trying to loosen the SSD slot screw someone at the manufacture decided it needed locktight once I removed it though I cleaned off the screw. Put it back in to check smoothness(Should mention those screws are like half the size of a desktop version). Installed the new SSD put everything back together and working great. Much Appreciated!

      I have Asus TUF F15 FX517ZE-HN036W on order. It comes with NVMe PCIe Gen 3 SSD.
      I want to confirm to Slot’s PCIe Generation.
      Is it Gen 4 or Gen 3 ?
      Putting a gen4 in gen3 slot would be a waste of money.

    Question friend, are two ssds that you link in the summary of the video (Samsung or Crucial) compatible for an ASUS TUF F15 2020 FX506LI-BIN5N? Or would I need a gen 3 for the samsung ssd. Also what would you recommend for increasing the memory?

      Regarding your question, yes both are compatible and i recommend to place a gen 4 ssd nvme as it will not stress as the motherboard will only push it up to gen 3 speed and it will still have room rest, gen 4 is compatible with gen 3 slots.

      I have already provided an answer to your question in the previous video. Here is a copy of the response:
      you can easily upgrade your system with 2 x 32GB RAM modules, giving you a total of 64GB of RAM. The recommended RAM can be found at this link: amzn.to/44McL62
      For storage, you have the option to install 2 x 2TB NVMe drives, providing a total of 4TB of storage. I suggest using the following high-quality and durable NVMe drive: amzn.to/43yBYQg
      Additionally, the price for the 2TB option is currently at its lowest.

Lastly what’s the max capacity for HHD and the extra Nvme SSD slot I can have 4TBx2? Sorry I’m new to the pc upgrading world, great video though my model is a Asus TUF FX506HC gray eclipse model.

      This laptop includes a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD with a 512GB capacity. You have the option to expand the storage by adding an additional M.2 NVMe SSD, with the capacity of up to 2TB of extra space. The great news is that this expansion doesn't require any complex configurations - it's a straightforward process.
      If you're interested in replacing the primary M.2 SSD with a larger capacity drive, along with adding a 2TB M.2 SSD for extra storage, you have that flexibility. However, keep in mind that this approach involves performing a fresh installation of Windows on the new SSD.

      @uFixTek  4 місяці тому +2

      🌟 Regarding your query about adding a 1TB SSD alongside your existing 512GB NVMe in your Asus TUF Gaming 15 FX506, rest assured, you can seamlessly integrate any NVMe SSD brand of up to 2TB. There's no need to disconnect the battery or interact with it in any manner. Simply remove the back cover, slot in the new NVMe SSD, and you're set. Upon booting into Windows, the new SSD should appear in "My Computer" as a new partition. If it doesn't, simply right-click on the Start menu, navigate to Disk Management, and locate the new, unpartitioned disk. Right-click on it, select to create a new partition, and follow the prompts until the process is complete.

    Hi just saw your vid today and actually we have the same laptop and planning to add 512 gb to my Tuf laptop. Just a question and actually this is a very dumb question and this is my first time doing it rather than going to a tech store. After I've installed the storage card. What should I do next? or is it the laptop automatically finds the new SSD? or should I do something next?

      @uFixTek  21 годину тому +1

      🫠Regarding your question, once you install the new SSD and power on the laptop, if the SSD storage doesn't show in "My Computer" as secondary storage, then you will need to do the following:
      Right-click the Start menu and choose Disk Management. You will see the newly installed disk marked in black, indicating it is not created. Just right-click on the black partition and create a new partition (just click Next on all steps). Now you will have the disk showing up in your computer beside the C drive.

      Regarding your question, these laptops are equipped with a GEN 3 chip instead of a Gen 4. While you can indeed install a Gen 4 SSD, it will operate at Gen 3 speeds. The transition to Gen 4 is a hardware-based process and cannot be achieved through software changes alone. It requires the installation of a Gen 4 chip, along with power regulator components and a firmware update to enable the functionality.

    THX for the video, I have the fx506hcb and I going to buy a 2nd SSD... does it supports PCIe 4.0 and can I use pm9a1 (OEM of 980 pro) instead? Is it a good idea and is it actually at the same level as 980 pro? I mean the life time and speed and ...
    btw is 970 evo plus good? I'm ok with a PCIe 3.0 but I have heard that this 970 evo plus temperature get higher than others, is it true?
    Much appreciated.

      In response to your question, the main m.2 is gen 4 and 2nd is the gen 3 but it will accept gen 4 nvme, and pm9a1 will be perfect for it, BUT my choice would be the 980 PRO as we do get pm9a1 for data recovery for failure and never got any 980 pro.

      Thanks for answering so fast and I'm a subscriber now :D
      Oh I didn't knew that the 2nd slot is gen3. But the question is why my default ssd is so slow (about 3000 read)? Is it because the default ssd is gen 3 itself?
      And I have another question, when i play games like RDR2 with high graphics on 1080p I get about 88°c cpu temperature and some time slightly peeks at 90 to 95 very fast and comes back on 88 (using msi afterburner)... and i wanna buy an SSD in price range of pm9a1 so i will be have to buy a gen 3 which I think i would be fine... now i have the concerns of the ssd temperature effecting laptop's temperature, i was going for 970 evo plus but I have seen many informations on internet about this SSD getting so much higher than others!! Do you think temp is important? What do you think is the best option for me to get.
      Thx

    • @uFixTek

      It is my pleasure to assist you, my friend. Let's address an important aspect upfront: M.2 temperature. If you are considering an NVMe drive up to 2TB in capacity, you won't need a heatsink. Adding a heatsink won't provide any durability or performance benefits. However, if you prefer, you can opt for a slim heatsink to help maintain lower temperatures for the NVMe drive: amzn.to/3qWm4C4. It's normal for NVMe temperatures to reach around 60-70°C. For a 4TB drive, a good heatsink would indeed be advisable.
      Regarding the default NVMe installation, I recommend installing the Rapid Storage driver (Intel). This will ensure you get the maximum performance from your SSD. Keep in mind that the speeds you achieve during tests will not match the advertised speeds due to several factors. The numbers shown are instantaneous speeds; the actual stable speed is about 10% lower, depending on the brand. The type of files being transferred (video, text only, pictures..) and whether you transferring one large file or many small file also impact the speed.
      One more thing to note is that when running tests on an SSD with Windows and other services running, the results can be influenced by background processes. Ideally, the best test scenario involves having the SSD isolated without Windows and other services running, and running tests both individually and when paired with another SSD on the correct generation slot.
      However, it's important to emphasize that a read speed of 3000 is more than sufficient for regular use. Windows and most programs do not utilize this speed, as they work with micro files rather than large chunks of data. Therefore, a standard NVMe SSD will perform just as well for running Windows and programs as a higher-end NVMe with speeds of 10000 read and write, unless you are frequently moving large files between fast M.2 drives.
      i would choose the 980 Pro or the model you previously mentioned.
      Shifting focus to CPU and GPU temperatures, it's entirely normal for laptop temperatures to reach 90-95°C under full load. Even with premium thermal paste, these temperatures are often reached due to fan curves. If you wish to maintain cooler temperatures, you can adjust the fan curve to your liking.

      Regarding your question, you do not need a heatsink for the nvme ssd unless you go 2TB over, then sure you will need a good heatsink. you don't gain performance or loose performance by adding heatsink.
      there not enough space for a proper heatsink, you can only get a slim copper sheet heatsink.

      Regarding your question, It's my pleasure my friend 1st of all to make videos for everyone, and yes you can mix GB of the rams and you will not have any issue, but recommended that you have 2x16GB or 2x8GB, and the reason is that by having two rams you will have a dual channel memory activated, but if you have 16gb and 8gb or 4gb and 8gb then you will have dual channel ram activated up to the limit of the lower GB stick and after that it will run as single channel (much slower).
      you can place a 2x16gb for total of 32gb without any issues: amzn.to/44pxuMA
      about the m.2 they are NVME both and you can keep the 512gb that you have and add an additional 2TB without any issue, we recommend the samsung nvme PRO, that gives you the best reliability and DURABILITY:
      amzn.to/45nfJyA
      you can also replace the main os m.2 to a 2TB but then you will need to reinstall the windows , this laptop supports 2TB on each m.2 slots.

      it is gen 4 and (backwards compatible), and no it is not gen 5 and to get gen 5 is a chip hardware upgrade and not with software.
      the reason for the single sided is because the m.2 slot is a low profile (very near the motherboard and also there are capacitors and other components on board that will not allow the double sided nvme to lay down and it can cause a damage to the nvme or short on board!, if the had placed a higher m.2 jack then sure you should go with double sided nvme's.
      also i don't recommend you to go higher than 2TB because anything over 2TB you will need a good heatsink for the nvme controller. but anything up to 2TB doesn't requires heatsink.

      you can't fit any HDD on this laptop, only m.2 NVME SSD 2280.
      the links to the m.2 ssd are in video description my friend, you can have up to 2x 2TB nvme in the laptop.
      but if you don't want to touch your main storage, you ca simply add a 2TB nvme on 2nd storage m2 space.

    just to be clear it's not called ssd (Solid State Drive) anymore it's called m.2 (form factor) nvme (Non Volatile Memory Express) drive. You can Either have an SSD in a m.2 slot almost gone by now or having it in 2.5 format which is the more common mechanical laptop form factor.

    • @uFixTek
      @uFixTek  10 місяців тому +7

      let me clarify this subject to you:
      SSD refers to storage devices that utilize NAND flash memory, which can come in various form factors, including 2.5-inch drives and M.2 drives. However, there are some important distinctions to make:
      1. M.2: This is indeed a form factor, but it can house both SATA-based SSDs and NVMe-based SSDs. The key difference is in the interface and performance. M.2 SATA SSDs use the M.2 form factor but operate at SATA speeds, which are limited compared to NVMe. On the other hand, M.2 NVMe SSDs use the same M.2 form factor but leverage the NVMe protocol for significantly faster data transfer rates.
      2. NVMe: This stands for Non-Volatile Memory Express, and it's a protocol designed for flash-based storage like SSDs. NVMe SSDs can come in various form factors, including M.2 and PCIe add-in cards. NVMe SSDs offer substantially faster read and write speeds compared to SATA SSDs, thanks to their more efficient communication with the system's CPU.
      So, to sum it up:
      * SSD is a broad term encompassing all solid-state storage devices, including both SATA and NVMe SSDs (you don't just say NVMe even if it is undrestandable).
      * M.2 is a form factor that can host both M.2 SATA SSDs (which are not as fast as NVMe) and M.2 NVMe SSDs (which are significantly faster).
      *NVMe is a protocol designed for high-speed SSDs, which can be found in various form factors, including M.2 and PCIe cards.
