Thank you for this easy to follow and informative video.
Thank you John, I appreciate that a lot!
Thank you for the great vid. I am trying to apply thermal pad and paste while I'm upgrading ssd. Do you know which thickness and where to apply them?
Thanks in advance!
@@Somecooltech1 hi! I have the book pro 15.6 i7 16ram and i am realy worried about overheating! Just browsing on Chrome it reach hig temperatures! Thanks to your video i can see that is in the zone of te ssd, do you think that sometiing is wrong with my pc?? Is totaly new just recived it a few days ago
Do you think we could put in a 2 terabytes drive?
@@mega1330 you shouldn't nee to ?
Best laptop I’ve ever owned. It’s INCREDIBLY easy to take apart. On a lot of computers, you have to remove the motherboard to clean the fan, but this one is super simple. I never owned a Samsung laptop before until this one and I love it
which version do you have?
@@jdmmi The 15 inch i5 version
@@ghost-4230 thanks!
Hey bro, quick question, have you ever had any problems using the computer while your are charging it? Because sometimes I have to work at the same time that I'm charging it and the charging port starts getting hot and the fan start working so hard.
@@NoNanAtAll I haven't paid attention to the charging port, but I noticed this computer does get considerably hotter than other laptops when charging. The computer is still really quick, so I don't think much of it, but I wish the laptop would stay cooler.
This video is 2 yrs old, but still very helpful! Of course there a few differences given the time span, but nothing that prevented me from following your overall instructions.
I did have a moment of slight panic when I saw the size difference of the hard drive on your screen vs what was coming up on mine (I think you started the video installing a 1TB, but ended up demonstrating a 2TB) - but other than that, no hiccups, and I greatly appreciate having this video as a resource!
I followed this guide for updating a Galaxy Book2 360 (not the Book2 Pro). It came with a 500G drive, an okay Samsung drive, I updated to a 500G 980 Pro, a better and faster drive. I don't need the extra size of a 1Tb drive, but I like to clone my OS drives for backup/emergency purposes. The 980 Pro 500G now sells for $79 US at Amazon and Newegg, a bit dated, but still a killer drive, especially for that price.
All in all, the steps in this guide worked perfectly for the Book2. The Samsung data migration software was so easy to use, geez, the easists cloning software I've ever used (albeit limited to samsung -to-samsung cloning). I connected the external target drive to the Thunderbolt port, and it worked fine (vs. the USB 3 ports as shown in the video). The one issue I had was stripping the screw holdling the NVMe drive onto the motherboard (aargh), but I finally figured out a way to get it out.
So thaks, TechConnect for a great tutorial. I've cloned HD, SSD, and NVMe drives many times for desktop computeres, but never a laptop, so this was a first. All the necessary steps were listed, and great links to the necesary tools and software. Thanks again.
Thanks! I already have a 1TB and was hoping to be able to do this to save money :) Great video
Glad I could help. Let me know how your upgrade turns out.
Just upgrade with samsung 980 ssd 1tb. Installed and works flawlwssly. Samsung migration tool went smooth as silk. No issues or hickups. P.S. Used the MOKiN M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure. Also flawless.
Wait! Did you mention that the RAM cannot be changed or upgraded?
Thank you very much for a clear voice and explanation.
Thank you for the extremely powerful video.
It helped me a lot to install a bigger SSD in my Galaxy Book3 360 13" myself.
I installed a Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 3D NAND NVMe M.2. To clone the original SSD I took the software "AOMEI Backupper". Because the Samsung Data Migration tool only works with Samsung SSDs.
Can you please tell me if you encountered any performance/overheating issues with your laptop since the upgrade? I'm thinking about installing KC3000 but a forum says Gen 4 ssd's are not suitable for slim laptops.
As it relates to boot time, I just timed mine with the original 512gb hard drive, and it booted in 8.65 seconds. So while yes a faster drive has it's benefits I'm sure, I don't know that I would credit the upgraded drive with it booting under 9 seconds. With that said, my drive upgrade will be here tomorrow lol.
You must be testing differently the drive that comes in is inherently slower then a 970 or a 980 evo.
@@X862go Makes no difference in day to day activities unless you have to transfer large files on/off the drive (like an video editor for example)
easy step and clear voice
Excellent video, makes every thing so easy....Thank you...
Thank you for the slight bending of the corner technique. It helped immensely removing the panel.
can i upgrade my Galaxy book (15.6" , i3, 8gb) with a ssd 2280?
Great and to the point tutorial
Not only am I confused with the way you bypassed the ssd enclosure issue. I also noticed that the drive you have is a 1tb but when you are formatting it it is a 2tb.
It might have something to do with the tool he's using 🤷
will that motherboard take a 4th gen M.2 ssd or 3rd gen only?
I wonder which version of the galaxy book pro you have? I have the 15 inch core i7 16 gb version, and my boot up time is 5 seconds until lockscreen appears. and i have not done any upgrades...
Im from Germany, thanks for the vid. 😊👋
Thank you for your clear explanation. Sorted out my doubt about whether RAM could be expanded. Now I know I can't expand the RAM but the way to make it faster is to change the SSD. By the way, did your upgrade reduce the amount of time the fan was on? i.e. did it reduce burden on the core processor?
As far as I know SSD does not relate to the processor’s temperature/time the fan is on.
How can you image it across without an enclosure?
Very well done, very good information
Can you put a samsung 980 pro ssd with a heatsink?
Any update on this question? Also, how much of an impact will this have on the battery life?
Thank you sir it's really helpful video for me and I've little question that what is the maximum SSD capacity galaxy book Pro support?
Why would the new SSD still be grayed out in the Samsung Migration Software on the new SSD even after formatting the SSD?
Great! Thank you!
Can i add a graphic card in this pc? I orden a galaxy book pro i7 16gb ram and i may be need a graphic extra power in the future
Thank you very much for your video!! amazing
Great video. Thanks.☺️
Can we use this samsung migration software for other ssd brands also?
Hello! Does this work with the PRO 2tb version of the same drive? Not sure if it fits into the galaxy pro (I've got the 360 but I don't think that makes a difference)
Hey I'm now wondering can I use the pro version you spoke about in my samsung galaxy book 2 pro and if so what kind of difference would I experience? By the way great content
Hi Rivers. Thanks for this very informative video. Is there a limit to the SSD size the Galaxy Book Pro can run?
I've got a 512 GB 2242 Nvme, and would like to add a 2 TB or even 4 TB 2280.
I understand keeping the 512GB as a backup, but could it not also be formatted and used in the Galaxy Book as additional drive?
Hi, old post but Yes I just added 2tb. Yes you could reformat the old one as use it for external storage.
@@Cyclingbrian Hey Brian - The info never gets old though ;-)
Were you able to install a 2280 form factor, or did the space require a smaller one (I haven't opened mine yet, and can't find any detail on Samsung) Thanks
You keep calling it a hard drive and it is rather confusing. Apart from that, I appreciate the video.
Thanks for the video.
So, the ram is soldered on the bd and you can't upgrade at all?
Also, 13" had only one ssd slot where 15" has 2 slots, right?
Again, Tysm for the great vid! 👍
Does the galaxy book pro (not 360) 15.6 inch have one M.2 slot or two M.2 slot? what size nvme, 2230 or 2280?
The Galaxy Book Pro 15.6" has 2 slots. One is 2230 size, the other is 2280 size.
im curious can you do this on the new pro book 2? it would be usefull
I noticed you edited out the parts where you removed the screw holding the old ssd drive in place, and where you got it started again. Did yours roll under the refrigerator or the dishwasher?
Is this method will be good in Samsung Galaxy Book Go????
Hello, I just want to ask whether this laptop support gen4 (PCIe 4) ssd or not???
Would I need to transfer the data to the new drive if the computer is brand new with nothing downloaded?
You also dont explain how the data migration stays greyed out. It don't work and your drive isn't what is said on screen
How’s the battery life on yours? Mine is brand new 13.3” as well and only holds battery for 3-4 hours…
I found it's pretty difficult to put the bottom panel back on properly and if it's not absolutely perfect the touchpad will get phantom clicks.
The solded RAM is a big let down... but a faster SSD really makes difference
Can I do the same to the Galaxy Book 360 ?
on the model with 8gb ram, a ram upgrade would definitely do some stuff compared to just getting a better/bigger ssd.
Great video, my Book Pro 360 arrives tomorrow (along with a Samsung evo pro 980). Out of interest, how well does OBS Studio work on it?
hey, i will be glad if you answer my Questions. have managed to update the storage? can i upgrade the Ram in this laptop? ihave the samsung book pro 360 13" and i dont know if it upgradable or not.
@@minomxmk4225 hi, my 13" 5g model is NOT upgradable. Everything is soldered to the board unfortunately
Data migration tool stays greyed out. Could you explain how to make it read? Both options aren't able to be selected.
Galaxy book pro 13 it 256gb and want to upgrade to 1tb 980
Mine stays grayed out too. I used Samsung Migration tool. On my Lenovo 940 it was also not showing up when using the Sabrent Migration tool. I ended up making a disk recovery thumb drive, putting the new M.2 drive in (after I formatted it as a Simple drive) and then reinstalling the software from the Recovery thumb drive I previously created. (used a 32 GB USB thumb drive with a Type C to Type A adapter).
@@Connor_Dempsey easy fix is to clone the drive to the larger nvme. Have a USB bootable drive with W11. Then format C drive and everything works perfectly. Be sure to back up files. It's the way I did it since my computer was still new and didn't lose anything
can you do a "virtual ram" test? How does it affect the ssd health
You can clone the new drive without partitioning it first

after ssd upgrade, system displaying ssd name as previous ssd. If you upgraded 512Gb to 1TB, it keep displaying 512Gb, but software working with new ssd normally. Question is how to fix ssd name in windows control panel?
Is the galaxy book 2 pro SSD the same as yours? Is it worth it upgrading? Thanks for video
Yes, the 13 inch models have the same drives. Note that the 15 inch on both gets an extra SSD slot so you can run them in RAID.
Can I upgrade the fan or the ram and possibly the gpu?
Is the base and bottom cover metal or plastic?
Does it support 2tb ?
Can the battery be replaced as well? Mine looks just like this with model number NP950XDB-KC5US
How I can recovery system if I delete it without backup. I have Samsung galaxy book pro 360 13.3.
Hi.
I have a galaxy book pro 15.6 i7 16ram 500ssd, and i have huge problem with overheating, just browsing on chrome with less than 10 pages open, i dont know if it is bad, somebady had this problem? is in the superior left place of the keyboard, it seems to be in the ssd as i can see in this video
do you know if change the ssd could solve heat problems? the most heating point of the pc is in the sector of the ssd as i can see in your video
I just have one question...
where is the ram?? 🤔
It is a amazing design for a laptop but they kneecap the laptop at 8 gigs of RAM. I mean if it had 16 it would be so much more useful. I'm looking at the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 to replace my current 13in Hewlett-Packard Envy. The more RAM is definitely a help because you lose some to Onboard video. But having more RAM makes it a better thin-and-light for travel productivity
The I7 model comes with 16gb of ram my guy, that's the model to get. Don't need to get the pro360
@@LukeM2 I happen to really enjoy my 13in HP Envy. When I'm sitting at a desk I can use it as a regular laptop and when I get up and walk around the house we're going anywhere I can easily convert it into a tablet. One of the reasons why I was looking at the Galaxy Book Pro 360 is because it functions as a tablet I absolutely love that format of device. It saves me from having multiple devices. I just need one that can convert. Which is why I wish it would have more RAM
@@LukeM2 What country do you live in? Here in the US we only have 13" 17 with 8gb RAM for the "Galaxy Book Pro" while the "Galaxy Book Pro 360" i7 goes up to 16gb
@@exilius333 USA. It options to 13 inch or 15 inch only
Maybe, but note this is quad-chanel DDR5 memory. My 8GB i5 variant handles pretty much anything i throw at it, even 50+ edge tabs without sleeping.
Whats that thing thats attached to the stock ssd that you didnt put back into the laptop?
I know some of the EVO machines had a slot for a 2nd NVME M2, but there does not appear to be one here? Is there?
hello what is the model of the original nvme of Samsung?
does it work with the Samsung galaxy book Flex 2 5g??

How much does the ssd costs in euro?
The Samsung 980 SSD is Gen 4. Does the Book Pro have a 4th gen motherboard?
Just opened mine for the first time and there's a screw missing from the heatsink. Never had any issues but this really annoys me
can u please make a video on samsung book 2 pro 360 upgrade ?
Does this laptop support 2 m.2 slots?
Hey bro, quick question, have you ever had any problems using the computer while your are charging it? Because sometimes I have to work at the same time that I'm charging it and the charging port starts getting hot and the fan start working so hard.
Yeah I have noticed the charge port getting hot. I think its actually the board getting hot and conducting the heat to the plug.
6:12 which ssd is preinstalled in the laptop..?
Hi, great video. I have the GBP LTE 13 256gb and was hoping to upgrade to 1TB. Does this accept a 2280 size card?
I'll answer my own question, it is 2280 size. A better question would be, can you install a heatsink on this, or is it even required? I only want to open my laptop once, fit and forget. Cheers!
Would this work on the 14 inch Go
Samsung migration software isn't picking up the external ssd in order to clone. Any help?
Do you think it's worth while to add thermal pads to the top of the SSD?
People usually don't for laptops
Can we upgrade ram and ssd rom of samsung galaxy book go 4gb 128gb version
I have a Galaxy Book Pro 13" 5G with 256gb and wanted to upgrade the SSD to 1TB and after opening the cover there was no visible SSD slot to be had. A bit disappointed but the laptop is great and now have to selectively load programs due to limited space.
I finally upgraded to a 1tb SSD. From my research it's supposed to use a 2242 SSD but it actually uses a 2230 SSD and I finally found where the SSD resided, it's under the metal looking cover off center. Too bad the RAM can't be upgraded. I love the laptop more now that there's ample space.
What about the Galaxy Book not pro can that be updated the same way 🤔
Does it support the 2tb SSD?
Did you ever find the answer to this?
@@the.flying.photog Did you ever try this? I'd like to add a 2tb to my second slot on my 15 inch

Someone else said this degrades the battery life
Did you run battery test to check if the new SSD is more power hungry, and temperature comparison test?
Hello! I'm considering the 15.6" Galaxy Book ion2. May I know the maximum SSD capacity it supports? There's 16GB ram onboard & 1TB SSD stick preinstalled. Can I add a 2TB stick to make it 3TB?
You need two m.2 slots to do that. I know the Samsung Book Pro 360 15" has two m.2 slots.
@@Connor_Dempsey Yes, but I think the 2nd one is 2230... Good luck !
Would opening the laptop to instal an extra SSD void the warranty?
I asked a guy from Blue Box store and he said No. Why should it since it is not sealed.
Need some help i didnt remove the drive and now i get blue screen. Idk what to do. How do I fix it.
Wrong. This doesn't work as you say

I just recently bought the pro 360 13” and I do not see an M.2 slot. Is the SSD soldered on along with the memory in this model?
The M.2 slot is under the black paper. There is also a silver heat shield on there too. Just lift the black paper up and lift the silver heat shield up and then put it back on after you install your new SSD.
Can this be done with any size- the 13.3 and the 15 in or just one.
The 15 inch model comes with an extra upgradeable SSD slot along with the one already installed.
Aloha Rivers, do you know if the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro supports PCIe 4.0 x4 / NVMe? Mahalo!
