From what I understand this is one of those "it works but it shouldn't" mods. The high speed gen4 nvmes (the 7gb read/write speed drives) get too hot inside the Ally, so keeping a gen3 with a thermal pad back there might be better

they get hot but not enough for it to malfunction or cause damage even without a heatsink, with the heatsink you shouldn't have to worry about it even if you were running the ally at full power while downloading stuff for hours straight.

I added my SSD without any pad, it fits fine without a bump on the back, however when I added 1 copper heat sink, the same one in here, it adds a bump. You can still force the back cover closer, however there are some plastic bits on the back that press down on the SSD. I just got a rotary tool with plans to shave down those plastic parts so they don't push down on it. I don't know how this video showed them being installed with heatsink without the pressure on the back plate.

Hi Kag. My question is this. They gave me the Asus Rog Ally, they are still in their unopened box. I want to put your same 4TB hard drive, I have to transfer data from one disk to another. Because it is in its box without opening the console

Thank you for watching the video I appreciate it. If it's unopened you won't have to transfer anything. Just install the new drive close system back up make sure there's no sd card plugged in and plug your Ally into power. Now hold the volume down button and press the power button to turn on the Ally. It should boot to the Bios menu. Press Y to exit EZ mode and then go to the advance tab. select ASUS cloud Recovery and press A to start the recovery. You'll have to connect to Wi-Fi to begin the download.

Привет! Как человек знающий электротехнику скажу, что эти манипуляции помогают с объемом, но создают проблему перегрева элементов, возможно компоненты, которые ты накрыл поставив ssd 2280 могут из-за него или же из-за отсутствия воздушного потока перегреваться, что плохо скажется на радиоэлементах или текстолите, что черевато прогарами или же сгоревшими компонентами, которые могут с собой что-нибудь забрать. лучше вывести через провод ssd чем рисковать устройством. Не просто так производители делают длинну ssd такой маленькой. P.S. Есть умельцы, которые заднюю крышку консоли печатают на 3d принтере с доп отверстием для ssd с перфорацией для охлаждения выглядит как вздутость на крышке задней, зато ssd подключен через pci и при этом не закрывает воздушный поток для охлаждения компонентов.

Most modders advise using either a Gen3 Crucial P3 or Gen3 Sabrent Rocket (~3500mb/s). Both are reliable, are fast enough, come with a thermal strip fitted (no need to fit another) and they don't get nearly as hot as some of the other SSD's on the market. Try and avoid the Gen4 and Gen5 SDD's as they can get too hot and draw more power, which can either limit you down to 20W or cause crashes and reboots. The Gen4/5 SSD's are also more expensive and don't really offer much in the way of benefits over a Gen3 SSD, whenever gaming anyway.
