I have this laptop (asus rog zephyrus m16 gu603m -211. zm16 i9-11900h/16) can you tell me what ssd to put. I have seen 3 ssd
1) Samsung 980 PRO W/ Heatsink SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 4.0
2) Samsung 980 Pro SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 4.0
3) Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCI Epress 4.0
do all 3?
And can you tell me about ram which one should I put the best. Thanks
🫠Regarding your question, Don't get any with heatsink, it will not fit. you can only have nvme with single sided chip up to 4TB (only few nvme have single sided up to 4TB)
any of this will work:
2) Samsung 980 Pro SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 4.0
3) Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCI Epress 4.0
i would personally go with this:
amzn.to/49qYVbq
cheaper same performance and durability.

Hey thanks a lot. Do you know if the 2nd ssd slot supports PCIE gen 4.0?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: yes both m.2 jacks are PCI-4gen compatible with old gens.
@@uFixTek thanks for your answer. But i checked from intel sites, it says pci gen 4 and the other one is gen 3. I am now confused.
@@salihcoban3158 yeah I just bought a gen 4 for mine and so far not recognizing the ssd
@@ryandyson5398 bro i took out the one that comes with. And install it empty one. And the i put the one i bought in first slot cause it is gen 4. That i whar i did and it worked.
I installed my ssd 980 pro and my laptop does dot show it has a second hard drive is there somtin you need to do for it to know it’s there???

Regarding your question, right click on windows logo on the start menu and go to "Disk management"
and there you should see the new drive in there, and if you see it as a Black bar on top of it and not blue. that means it is not partitioned, right click on the black bar and create new partition and name it and at the end it will automatically will show up in your computer. now if you don't see the drive in "Disk management" then you got a defective drive or didn't install it properly.
I have a question: is there a way to dictate which files get saved to which SSD now that there are two of them? For example I want to keep all my games on one SSD, and all my other information on the other. Since a lot of times downloads of new data are automatic, is there a way to dictate where each new download file/app/game/etc gets downloaded to (so like a way to have a window pop up and ask where you want this item to be downloaded to)? I know you can’t store 50% of one item on one SSD, and the other 50% on the other SSD it has to be one or the other; I just want to know if there is a way to dictate where each download goes to.
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: hi, if you have two ssd in your laptop i always recommend to create a folder on the 2nd ssd (that has no windows) and call it "C" and inside that folder create 6 Folders with following names: imgur.com/a/oCVM5ll
now you want to open file explorer (WIN+E) and open another file explorer (WIN+E) and place them side by side. then you want to right click on the original Desktop ... documents.. etc and go properties> then go to location tab, then click move and choose the folder you created according to the name for the folder on empty ssd. imgur.com/a/vXd2mHE
after doing this what ever you place as you do normally on your desktop downloads it goes automatically to the other SSD. you can create a another folder for your steam folders
Can’t explain how long I’ve been searching for a question this well worded to phrase my problem & an answer so well put together! Srsly thank u both 😊
What screw driver are you using? And, are all the screws the same size? Is it possible to strip the screws? 😟🤔
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: i have mentioned and showed the screw driver set @1:10 and hte link is in video description:
✔The proper Teardown kit!: amzn.to/2CATV8e
if you not careful enough you could strip the screws. take your time doing it, the m.2 screw is the smallest
@@uFixTek Ahh! Yes, you did mention that. I see now. Sorry, most videos I watched on the M16 don’t mention the specific screwdriver so I didn’t notice on this one and also skipped over that part. Thanks for being so helpful! ❤✌️

If I have one SSD installed with speed let's say 7000mb/s and I install a second SSD on second slot with speed more than the first, let's suppose 15,000mb/s. What is the performance in this occasion? Does it stay 7000, or 15000?
Thank you for your valuable feedback! If you enjoy the content, supporting the channel by liking and subscribing would be greatly appreciated.
Regarding your question, it's important to be cautious about falling for the marketing hype surrounding SSD speeds. There are a few important factors to consider, and it's essential to understand how the speeds are measured.
Most SSDs advertise their peak file transfer speeds, but it's worth noting that these speeds are not necessarily sustained during regular usage. Additionally, it's crucial to be aware that the advertised speeds are achievable when transferring files between two SSDs with the same specifications. If you have your operating system (OS) installed on the first SSD, the file transfer speed may be lower because the OS is actively using the drive.
For example, let's say you have an SSD with a write speed of 7000MB/s and then install a second SSD with a write speed of 15000MB/s. In this scenario, the file transfer between the two drives would be limited to the speed of the slower SSD. It's also important to keep in mind that the maximum speed benefits are typically seen when moving around large single files.
Extensive testing has shown that simply upgrading to a higher-speed SSD does not necessarily result in improved system or program performance (e.g., reduced loading times) because operating systems and programs are composed of numerous small micro files rather than single large files. It's worth noting that in addition to the considerations mentioned above, it's crucial to have the latest drivers for your SSD and motherboard chipset installed, such as rapid storage drivers.
I hope this explanation clarifies the important aspects of SSDs. If you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask.
@@uFixTek Thank you. You just earned a subscriber
It's my pleasure my friend. 😊

How about you screen? I think the screen will damage in the long term, isnt it?
@@sdfgsdfg3396 I've only done this once, but I did not have any concerns about the screen.
Which SSD do you recommend?
@@DINU_R I installed this one: WD_BLACK SN850X 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe. It continues to work very well.
Can you install a 4TB nvme ssd? Or would it not recognize it?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: the laptop does support 4TB without any issue. BUT you can't install it because the 4TB m.2 are double sided CHIP and that makes it a bit thick on bottom side, and unfortunately as you can see right on the motherboard under the m.2 there are some components and jacks and those will prevent the 4tb to lay down flat.

@@uFixTek thanks for the response!
It's my pleasure my friend.
If you have any future questions or requests, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'll be happy to assist you.
I highly recommend that you do not remove the battery from the connector on the motherboard. The latch there is metallic and is very easy to misposition and shorten your motherboard. Learnt that the hard way.
Yes you don't need to remove or disconnect the battery at all to do any upgrades.
Did it short as soon as you powered it on or later?
@@JayImahara It shorted as soon as I reconnected the battery, the laptop itself was turned off beforehand.
great video. for me it seems like the bottom right screw was a bit smaller so I had to use the next smaller screw driver in my kit. Also the screw for holding the m2 was IMPOSSIBLE to remove. I had to order this tool from amazon to remove it. "Engineer Neji-Saurus M2 Stripped Screw/Broken Screw/Rusted Screw/For Diameter 0.08 - 0.1 inches (2 - 3.5 mm), Anti-Static PZ-57"

I installed the SSD but when I booted up my screen doesn’t show the new added memory what do I do next ?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: when you in my computer you don't see it? then you need to go to disk management, and create the partition or activate it.
if you need help let me know, some ssds are activated mostly very rare are not activated.
@@uFixTek what do you think the maximum size m.2 . In regards to total storage, for example could you put in 2 4 tb m.2?
Can I install 4tb + the already existing 1tb ssd and there will be no thermal issues?

regarding your question: yes you can we have installed and no thermal issue, unless you going to to mining on SSD :P
Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm going to try upgrading 4TB SN750 Black on my Zephyrus M16 2022. However, I'm worried that it's a double-sided Nvme SSD and it won't fit. I will let you know once I test it.

regarding your question: i have no idea why your comment went into spam section :/
the double sided nvmes will work and fit just fine in there we have installed them without any issues.
@@uFixTek Just installed the 4TB SSD. You're right it fits easily!
@@karolisgaWhat is the maximum that each of the 2 slots supports? I have the RTX 3060 m16 and I want to upgrade but I'm afraid it won't hold that much storage
@@leostroll I think there is no limit in terms of storage capacity. If it fits - it will work. The bottleneck is the transfer speed. I think one slot is gen 3 the other one is gen 4. However for 99% of people gen 3 speeds are more than enough.
Do you know which is gen 3 and which is gen4 i added 990 pro 1t on open slot and it worked for few hours and my d drive disappeared it shows only on bios appeard and disappeared on restart now gone super weird
I have the gu604vi 2023 4070 m16

Regarding your question, when you flip the laptop and the front is facing you just like in the video the left is gen 3 and right is gen4.
something is wrong with your nvme, or is not connected well the gen 4 is compatible with gen 3 nvmes.
remove and reinsert the drive.

If I just wanna clean my m16 laptop fans from outside (not taking out the fans) do I need to take out the battery connector or I can just hold the fan clean it without taking out the battery connector?
regarding your question , you could just hold the fan preventing them from spinning and use air can to clean it, and no need to disconnect the battery.

Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
@@uFixTek thanks for your reply, does this apply to the 2022 model (gu603)? I heard that on the 2022 model both of the slots are gen 4.
unfortunately asus lacks on informing on manual the gen ports internally, but we have seen a 2022 models with gen 4 m.2 slots and some gen 3, i would say get a gen 4 anyways and place it there if it is gen 4 then there you have it , if not then it will still work as gen 3.
so we have on this laptop one more ssd slot?
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your support for the channel. Regarding your question : yes there are two available m.2 NVME slots.
Hellow, bro I have a serius problem, I instaled a ssd m.2 samsung evo 980 pro and it doesnt work, some times de laptop get crazy, and it doesnt read the disk when it works normaly, I can not understand what reales happens can u help me?

Hola, a listo genial que hables español mucho mejor, lo que paso fue que instale el ssd, al inicio lo leía pero el equipo tenía conflictos para funcionar, desactive el disco duro y pues lo dejé ahí un tiempo, cuando volví a activar el ssd para intentar instalarlo, resulta que lo leyó en una ocasión, pero luego no volvió a leer el ssd y ya no funciona por mas que conecte y desconecte, un amigo me dice que esta mal

Hey, I just grabbed this laptop yesterday. Popped in my 2tb nvme drive from my previous asus rog laptop, the bios shows “incomplete optane volume”
It use to be the C: in my other laptop that died… how can I get it to work? The only option I see is reset to non-optane but that’ll delete the drive, I have 600gb worth of stuff on it that I need so I can’t let the bios delete it… how can I get this drive working without deleting it

regarding your question: you 1st need to extract the files (data) that you value much to main ssd or any other source to do that you will need this:
a good Enclosure: amzn.to/39OS1E4
then use it as external like usb and once plunged in as usb then go to the drive and go to user folder directory and then to the user folder and it will ask you to over write user permission and you have yo accept it and let it run for 30 min or so till it gets permission for all your files. DO NOT disconnect during the permission over write. once you the user folder copy all the files that you need to main ssd or another external for temporal, then format the 2tb nvme and plug it in the m.2 slot in the laptop and you se to go.
@@uFixTek thanks a lot just before you posted a reply I ordered a m2 external case that’s thunderbolt
I’m just going to copy the stuff I want from it and put it in one of my kid’s computers b/c I realized it’s a pcie3 drive vs the current pcie4s that have 65-7000read and write speeds… I’m not slowing down an i9 12900 with that old drive… don’t know what I was thinking like I’m not a MCSE, CCNP 😂
the main ssd that you have its gen 4 and you have windows there, and if you place the gen 3 nvme on the other slot it won't affect the windows or any thing on performance, its compatible and it will work as extra storage and as gen3 speed that its more than fine,
@@uFixTek I do multimedia work, my sound libraries and sessions are going to be on the drive and the faster the better so it all works out. Just tossed 48gb of ram in it too
oh ya if you doing all those then hell go with the best config :)
