Thanks a lot. I have this laptop and i got a SATA SSD. Also my laptop has 512 GB micron nvme ssd, so it is not enough at all. I started installing and all of a sudden, i realized there is nothing to connect the SSD. Thanks to you, i remembered there is cables in box 😂

Just bought it last week, i gotta say it is very worth it

Great video! Sp, I have this gaming laptop in my cart. Comes with 16gb of RAM and the 512GB Gen 4 SSD. I also have an external 2TB to install my games on. How will this handle games like Spiderman? Undisputed boxing game? Call of Duty? Forza, etc? Based on my knowledge, it should do WELL. I also have an LG C1 I plan on hookin' it up to with the 2.1 HDMI ports.

Awesome video - I just bought the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58 - with 1TB, and 16gb ram (came at a good price as i wanted a 4060 card) - and was worried about storage expansion. Your video has calmed my fears! Especially considering I've already filled up a third of my SSD already on games xD

Very helpful! I got my first Nitro 5 so this helps a lot. :) Subbed btw.

Lmao I thought the same

They were selling this model in India with a slightly better 3070ti GPU and a somewhat slower processor , the 12650h , also they cut corners with storage and halved it to 1tb but i guess it works as it all came to around a 1250$ package which is still pretty decent. The display was the same 1440p with 15.6 inches.

Both ssd slots are nvme ?

Man I wish I had the money.

Is there a difference in which PCIE M2 slot to insert a high-speed SSD? Simply, M2#1 is called PCIE, but M2#2 is called PCIE/SATA. Won't the M2#2 slot have a lower SSD speed?

How was it? I am think to buy this laptop, the i5 12500H and 3060 one

Normally you would add a heat sink. In your case all you can do is add thermal tape. Likely .5mm. Hopefully the backplate has a metal shield on the inside (I think it does) to conduct the heat away via the thermal tape, as that is why they had heat tape on the single chip of each M.2 drive.
