Amazing video. I have never added an ssd to a laptop, so I wanted to confirm a few things. Not only did you show how to install it, but you gave extra tips and recommendations alongside it. Thank you!

My wife's Nitro 5 only had a 512 gB SSD, and she def needs more space.
An FYI for anyone curious, the Nitro 5 is Gen 4 PCIE. (I had to look it up)
you can go without any issue up to 4TB single sided nvme, we have upgraded those for our clients without any issues.
cheers🍻
I have the new version of this laptop with the RTX 4060 and i5-12450H and it comes with a cable and screws for the HDD in a small plastic bag in the box, there is even a sticker next to the keyboard that says "M.2 SSD + HDD slots", so Acer definitely encourages you to upgrade it on your own.

thnxs for the video !
i would like to ask you about the generation of the ssd that i can use !
what can i use in the first slot and what can i use in the second slot ? thnxs
It's my pleasure my friend.
🫠Regarding your question, you can place a 4th gen NVMe in any of the slots, and it will work perfectly fine. Just note that the 1st slot is Gen 4 and the 2nd slot is Gen 3. If you place a Gen 4 NVMe in the Gen 3 slot, it will run the NVMe as if you installed a Gen 3 SSD.
I recommend installing the Gen 4 NVMe in any NVMe slot because if the connection is Gen 3, your SSD will not be stressed and will last longer since it will only operate at Gen 3 specifications and not be pushed to the maximum as Gen 4.
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
cheers🍻
After i install this do i have to make changes with updating or anything like that?
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both!
Regarding your question, if you adding an additional Storage, then no need for any updating or anything, but if you remove or upgrade the main ssd storage then sure you will need to install the windows on it again links in video description.
cheers🍻
Is a WD_BLACK SN770 1tb a good low priced option for a ssd I just bought this laptop and want to upgrade the storage with a lower priced ssd that still runs well
WD_BLACK SN770 are greate SSD and cheap at the same time, the bad ssds are ADATA and low end kingstone.
cheers🍻
So if I understand on that pc there is 2 M.2 SSD slot + 1 2.5 inches HDD slot where you can also put an SSD, is that right ? really good video by the way
It's my pleasure my friend.
🫠Regarding your question, you nailed it , yes 2x m.2 NVME 4TB on each but it must a single sided chip nvme. at the same time you can have 1x 2.5' SSD up to 4TB or a 2TB slim HDD.
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
cheers🍻
i can't find the flexcable that came with my laptop, do you have any reccomendations? Or are they all the same size/connector?
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both!
Regarding your question, no they are not all the same size and pin counts, i will need you to count the golden pins right at the side of the HDD/SSD connector and let me know if it is a 8pin or 9pin or 12pin connector and i can help you to get the correct flex cable.
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
@@uFixTek it's a 12 pin connector
this is a compatible flex:

Would it be possible to install a Samsung 980 Pro with heatsink?
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both!
Regarding your question, no you can't place that with heatsink, also you don't need a heatsink on nvme up to 2TB.
you could get a none heatsink version: amzn.to/47g27oQ
and get a slim heatsink if you wish: amzn.to/3vagdea

I bought a 22 pin Sata SSD. The adapter i just bought has the right 12 pin motherboard adapter, but the SSD connector is only a 16 pins for the 22 on the SSD. Is that ok or is it not going to work/ or not work as well?
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or do both!
Regarding your question about the SSD 2.5" drive, if you have acquired a 2.5" SSD and are in search of the correct adapter, I would highly recommend counting the pins on the motherboard's connector. Ensure you identify the exact pin count and obtain an adapter with the matching pin count. Using an adapter with the wrong pin configuration can short the 5V line and potentially damage the motherboard.
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
cheers🍻
So the motherboard pin count is correct. The motherboard is 12 and the attachment is 12 on the adapter. It's the female to SSD that does not match
send me pictures of the connectors please to my email

hello, I just bought this same laptop and am looking to upgrade it. if I buy an m.2 ssd for that slot, can I get a 2 or 4 TB one? or is it limited to 512 GB or 1 TB?
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both!
Regarding your question, you can get 2TB on each m.2 slots, 4TB wont sit flat with motherboard and it will require heatsink with 4TB.
i recommend the samsung pro nvme: amzn.to/48CRgY0
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
@@uFixTekif I install a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB in the 1st M.2 slot and an SN530 500GB in the 2nd M.2 slot, will the Samsung 980 Pro run at Gen4 speed?
Tylko gniazdo 1 obsługuje gen 4(I trzeba sklonować windows ,gniazdo 2 max gen 3(ale dysk gen 4 zadziala tylko bedzie wolniejszy )
Thanks for the video. I have a Nitro 5 and i purchased a 1tb 2.5 SSD drive. I want to remove the M2 drive and install only the 1tb drive. But when I do this, and the laptop turns on, it says no bootable device, and it won't allow me to change the boot order in the bios. If you can help me with this, ill be glad to pay you via USDT or another form of payment that works for you. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
🫠 Regarding your question, if you replace the M.2 SSD with a 1TB 2.5" SSD, you'll need to know that the 1TB SSD is empty and doesn't have Windows installed. You have two options:
1. Install Windows from a USB boot drive (link in the video description).
2. Install the 1TB 2.5" SSD, boot into Windows without removing the M.2 SSD, download a cloning program, and clone the M.2 SSD to the 2.5" SSD. Once the cloning is finished, power off the system and remove the M.2 SSD.
Note: The M.2 NVMe SSD is much faster and better than a 2.5" SSD. You can install an NVMe SSD of up to 4TB, which is recommended.
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Cheers 🍻
Is there any limit for write/read nvme & ssd sata on this nitro 5 motherboard? how to check it?
yes the limit is based on the nvme make and model you purchase, the laptop can support gen 3 nvme speed (985 megabytes per second (Mbps))
i highly recommend you get a samsung nvme for it's best durability and reliability and speed.

Hi I just got this laptop. The fans blow crazy loud and it gets pretty hot. If I add more memory or ram or a ssd will it help with overheating and the loud fans?
🫠If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both!
Regarding your question, adding more ram or storage will not help with overheating, you may want to open and repaste, and place a good quality thermal paste like:

that will help with fan noise and heat dissipation.
