​​@@furypestono SSDs don't really heat up, plus thermal paste/tape is for moving heat from the component to a heat sink (like the copper pipes you can see in the video that go towards the fans), and the SSDs are just on top of the motherboard, also the original SSD didn't came with any paste either

Asus Tuf F15 (FX506HF-ES51) has Gen 3 slots (confirmed that with Asus tech on phone) so only get Gen 3 SSD for second port as saves money and if you get 4th gen it’s still only gonna give you what the Gen 3port can do. I use Crucial for my Ram and SSD. Have Crucial 32Gigs of Ram in one with extra Crucial 1TB SSD and in my second Asus laptop I have 64 gigs of ram and extra 1TB SSD. Crucial is reasonably priced, great specs, reliable

@@mostafab13 SMH buddy, I never said there was. The point is if you have a 3rd gen slot, if you buy a 4th gen SSD you’ve literally wasted the extra money. Will a 4th gen SSD work in 3rd gen slot, yes, but your NOT going to get the speed the 4th gen SSD touts, as the 3rd gen port will only go a certain speed. Silly Simple Example, 3rd gen slot has speed of 5, your 4th gen SSD has a speed of 10…..Your only gonna get speed 5 max. As opposed to a 3rd Gen SSD that has speed of 5. So you spent $50 on a 4th gen SSD, when you could have got the 3rd gen for $30 and compromised nothing. Don’t be daft

Very Useful,Thanks

Great vid thank you. :)

Thanks, I did it.

good video brother;)

I'm very new to laptops that are specifically for gaming and have never upgraded anything in a laptop before, period. This video is super clear, concise and easy to follow, even for someone like me who's very much inexperienced with hardware! My one critique is maybe mix the audio a bit to lessen that drill sound. Or cut it out/speed it up

thank u brother

Hey man! Thanks for your information/demonstration very concise! I work as a mechanical engineer/designer, I bought on recommendation a new laptop which is an Asus tough F15/I7/12h/16/512/4050ZU4. 1 I will use DDR5/4800, is DDR5/4800 backwards compatible? 2 Do all tuf F15 models have the same capacity for upgrading 2 X NVMe M.2? 3 What I'm wondering is it the same hardware upgrade procedure when it comes to another model ie like mine? Thank you and best regards. Daniel.

Thank you so much this is a fantastic, highly informative video :) ... I'm wondering if anyone who added a 2nd m2 drive can answer this.. how are the temps for that 2nd m2 drive? Anything to wrry about? Is a heatsink necessary? (not sure if I could fine one flat/thin enough to fit into the laptop though)

I added a second ssd and will clone the original OS drive into the new one and make that one the OS drive, does it matter which physical slot its in?

Confising why you took the fist one out. But good video

if my new ssd is faster read write should i use that as main ssd or just put it in second slot?

thankyou perfect video . i have a Crucial by micron P1 M,2 22280 500 MB nvm express can i use this ssd ? in my tuf F15 asus 144hz please respond as ill will attempt this for my second slot tommorrow

Hello! Do you any idea if how much storage can it carry? For example if I only have 500gb of ssd, can i add it with 1tb instead of another 500gb?

If I watch correctly, when you place secondary ssd nvme and place the screw, there's connector cable stuck beneath the ssd. Is that okay? Will the cable burn because of the heat?

Most important dialogue is between 4:30 and 4:34 ... Slide the ssd at 45 degree and while pushing it towards from left side.. thank you..

I have this same model. Can we add HDD too? It has a space and pin for it. 😅

@UberGeeks how much expansion does the extra slot support ? can I add 2TB or 4TB?

will heatsink ssd nvme fit? 3mm heatsink+1mm paste+ 2mm ribbon tape ?

You can add another 512gb ssd so its 512x512 but make sure its the same ssd as the other one. And if your gonna replace the ssd where all your data is stored, make sure to make a backup of all your important files if you dont wanna lose the files and transfer all your data to the new ssd. But i recommend to just get help from an expert and make him do it to avoid problems (because they know what theyre doing)
