- A little of the rubber lining came off around the vent area when I was opening this laptop, so not my best work. Overall, it's not noticeable.

Removing the metal bracket and disconnecting the battery is recommended, yet optional. Just make sure the system is shut down. You’ll be fine.
Some of the laptops from Amazon say they are F512JA but they are in fact NOT and are instead X515EA models. It doesn't say this on the outside of the laptop either it says only R565E so beware when you're ordering the HDD cable as the F512JA one WILL NOT WORK in the X515EA. Found this out the hard way. Go into Windows and type dxdiag in the start menu and then find your model number on that screen when it comes up, it will have a huge long number but that is the REAL model number. Be sure the listing you're buying has your model listed. It will be a shorter version of the dxdiag number, but it should match part of it. Helpful tip to keep you and your laptop safe.
Thank you, I was searching for a video were installed a SSD without the plastic cover
This is a great posting. Thanks jasetutorials for a simplified method of adding an SSD to an ASUS vivobook. I have just managed to follow you process and added a 1TB SSD successfully.
Wow awesome
Appreciate the videos on this, just got the laptop ordered today. and checked out how you upgraded the ram as well.
Gran video! Me sirvió. Saludos desde Argentina!
Hola, como estas? Por fin alguien que habla español. Consulta, lo hiciste en una asus vivobook 15? Porque estoy buscando por todos lados y no encuentro ese adaptador.
That connector are included in the laptop? or does it have to be purchased separately?
Since I have seen unboxing where you already have it.
I had to buy the connector separately. It was from amazon. YOu can buy it on ebay or other online stores as well. NIMITZ 2.5inch HDD/SSD Hard Drive Cable Connector for ASUS VivoBook S14/S15 S430U S530U /X412 X512 F412 F512/R424/R564/Huawei Matebook D

nice video, could you show us how to change the thermal paste on this laptop?
Great video.
Did you get the SSD connector with the laptop or with the 2.5in SSD??
You need to buy a complete ssd install kit it comes with a self adhesive static sheild the drive adapter and a rubber/steel drive caddy/suspension that fits the slot inside the computer perfectly and acts as a shock adsorber for the drive
If you have a hard disk drive this is definitely what one should do. However, SSDs are light and almost impervious to damage by dropping so the adhesive should be just fine.
It’s an odd sized one and none of the kits I had would fit. I improvised. Luckily the laptop is still working great
In the future i will try to get a caddy but it’s rare for it to be included with 120gb ssds
Thanks for sharing. I need to add an SSD to my Asus VivoBook. Kind regards from Argentina.
I just ordered a 2.5" 4TB drive but it's 15mm thick... I'm hoping it will fit... fingers crossed. Coming in the mail today.
Thanks! It helped!
the video is very good, i will subscribe !! I can ask a question? do you know if the 8gb of ram is 2 4gb clips or is it 8gb of ram soldered and has a free slot?
I do not speak english kkkkkkk I did it by google translate
I did upgrade video. 4gb ram soldered motherboard and one 4gb ram stick originally
Good video, yes the battery disconnection is optional but good practice either way.
Thanks
this is the complete video i ever seen 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤
In the US taking that cover off cannot void the warranty. #righttorepair. Thanks for the video I was wonder if this laptop could have more storage added.
Wow, that’s good to know
Thank you 😊
Glad the video helped.
Might be a little outdated
Good stuff bro i was definitely planning on doing this myself
good luck! ASUS made it easy to get a cable! it's a great upgrade
@@whattmeter did the upgrade everything works perfectly
hey man i was just wondering, is it fine to just have the internal SSD stick 1TB or should i get an actual square SSD like what you did in the video
Awasome & very helpful video. The aluminium cable connector is simmetric?
Thanks!
The particular cable I used is labelled, one is meant for motherboard and the other for Hard Drive. The cable is labelled so I just followed and connected it to the correct part. Hope this helps.
Hello, educational video, congratulations and thank you. I have a question: that NIMITZ 2.5inch HDD / SSD Hard Drive for ASUS VivoBook connector cable that you used to connect the SSD, is it compatible for ASUS Vivobook M513IA-BQ724T ?, I would like to know if I can add an additional SSD to my computer to have more storage. Thank you for your attention, I remain attentive to your answer. Good day.
In your video, did you clone your windows in the prev HDD? or is it unnecessarily to do so? I was really confused on what to do before/after replacing old HDD to new SSD. Would you give me some more detailed steps and advice?
Oh yeah one more thing... I have a somewhat old model laptop with cd/dvd driver and I saw a video where he used the old HDD to replace the cd/dvd driver. Is it necessary? Much thanks
I was adding a second storage so I didn’t have to reinstall windows for this computer since it already had the m.2 ssd
very informative, thanks!
No problem
Good work mate 👍
Thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Dang, that connection looks very specific. Do you just put the paper thingy in the slot and clip it in? I wish there was just a sata connector in the laptop.
yes, it was pretty easy. it seemed secure. It still works great! I use this laptop for light editing and I save it to the second ssd.
Thank you for this video. Have an X512JA but the internal arrangement seems basically the same. Was wondering though what thickness of the foam tape was used, I have a drive that I would like to install. I've been generally happy with the computer itself but the lack of a standard caddy mount is disappointing, from what I've come to expect from Asus this is a quality failure equivalent to Lamborghini selling a car with a 12 Litre ( 3 Gallon ) fuel tank. One small concern though is the foam that was removed from the drive bay, the outer surface is metalized but the foam is too thick to let a hard drive or SSD fit, is this part of the grounding or does it serve some other purpose? Should I shave down the underside of the foam so the SSD I want to install will fit or just discard it?
you don't necessarily have to use foam. I was just improvising since I couldn't find a caddy. If you find one please let me know. They also have SSD spacers (I didn't have it at the time, but I do now) which look like they would work great for this. If I encounter another situation like this I will use the spacer instead.
you could try shaving down the foam if you can.
@@whattmeter Shaving it down was actually what I went with, wasn't comfortable with discarding it just in case it was part of the grounding or served some similar purpose. Still disappointed with the design though, found one type of caddy on Amazon that allows you to install two M.2 drives side by side, nice storage option if you have the money to get two 8 TB units but there is no proper way to secure it to the laptop, and using foam in this case would restrict cooling. But thank you for the reply.

Cool side by side that’s an interesting find
sir would u recommend to upgrade the nvme ssd to one with more storage , or just adding an SSD 2.5 ? nice video btw
Personally I prefer the m.2 ssd upgrade. Just having one storage. Others want secondary storage. I think it really depends on your preference. I usually have my stuff saved to the cloud so I never really worry about my main ssd going bad
bigga you did well
this is great video! But I need a help.. I installed my SSD but it does not show in my computer any where.. I don't know what I'm missing..
Could you use normal clear tape to hold it in place?
Very helpful your a genius man
Lol glad it helped
Why do you need to disconnect the battery when the laptop is turned off?
Hey, I have an Asus Vivobook 15 K513ea and it didn’t come with a HDD kit. And I cant get any supported kit here in Pakistan. Can you help me find one?
My asus notebook didnt came with the hdd "sata to flat" cable. My board came with a 10pin flat cable connector. My question is, can i use a standard "sata to flat" 10 connector of any brand or i supose to buy an asus especific model.
I found many of thoose cables with some random lenght that supouse to work fine. If its a little bit longer, the flat wire, it will not affect the function right? I can fold it to fit
So I tried two different SSD’s that are working. When I use the connector it is not showing up. Could it be because Windows S??
Thank you for this video bro. What is the maximum SSD capacity that this computer can accept?
Not sure, at least 512GB. I don't have anything bigger than that to test unfortunately.
It can probably go up to 4 tb. As more than that might not be powered by the psu
What's that connector called at 4:27 ?
Очень помогло, спасибо огромное
Hello, how about what games can you play with all the settings you have made? RAM, SSD
My computer don't detect they hdd... Why?
What do you call the sata connection ribbon if googling for one please? I can only find sata connection cables, not the ones like that with the mini connector ribbon end. Thanks.
Not a bad video, but I do wonder why you didn't get a caddy for the drive...they're just about as easy to get as the cable. In fact, you can get them together. I haven't decided which one to get, yet, but there are plenty of choices between $10-20. I watched this video, hoping to learn something about the caddies.
I didn't have any on hand that fit. It's an odd size. I'll try to look for caddies in the future.
do i need hard drive cable if i'm going to add HDD ? not SSD
Ok I put the ssd but when I go to the disk management it doesn’t pop up? Plz help
By any chance was it a used or preformatted SSD? I would also check your connections.
I have this model and I saw in your laptop there is a metal bracket holding the mouse pad. But in my device it is missing.. Is it necessary part?
hi i got a nvme ssd installed. and the other slot is like on your video but I do not have a extra SSD 2.5 but instead another nvme ssd so is there like any ssd.25 size casing? to connect to that small port
is it fine to bend the sata cable sharply, because I've got a asus m415 and bought a crucial SSD and I'm not sure how to get the cable in without bending it
i use a VivoBook 15 Too
and considered to upgrading it to a m.2 ssd
Is this SATA or NVME ?
Thank you sir,
Hello, can I use HDD 2,5 instead SSD? What about power cable for disk drive, I don't need it?
cool video bro, could you tell me if instead adding a 2.5 inch SSD, can I install a 2.5 inch HDD on that slot? I would appreciate it very much!
Yes you can. It should fit without a spacer.
Can you suggest flex connector for Asus F571gt-bq619t, I'm unable to find it..
what is the name of that connector ? thanks in advance ❤

@@whattmeter Thank you
Battery removing is optional right 🤷🏻♂️...I want to put hdd...
Hi, great video! I didn't find what is the max ram supported. Do u know?
20 GB, you'll need a 16 gb ram to upgrade
depends what cpu you have? officially they recommend 12gb ram max.
I have upgraded my asus vivobook 15 X512D to 20gb successfully like others have said you will need to find a single 16gb Ram stick
So adding new SSD won't loose any remaining data om laptop like Windows and programs? Is that simple as this can be done?
Not unless you wipe the main ssd. In the video we added an additional ssd so the main windows data wasn’t affected. Hope this helps
Where the photo
Mine had a 1TB hdd and has a rubber caddy that fits around it. Not sure where you pick on up though.
Nice! That’s awesome
why did you remove the foam that was already in there?! surley the foam was in there to hold the ssd instead of you having to do it your way??
I tried to fit it with the foam that was already inside but the ssd wouldn’t fit. I couldn’t force it either, it was pretty hard. I tried a 2.5 inch hard drive as well but not luck. Others might have better luck with the included foam. Idk why mine was super hard.
@@whattmeter I see, its so weird because Ive been looking around youtube and most people do not have foam at all and I cannot find any information on it.
For future videos though I have spacers meant for the ssd. So maybe in a video down the line I will use a real spacer instead of improvised foam. Definitely more expensive to get an ssd spacer for a laptop though
Great 👍.
Glad it helpt
what did u stick on the ssd? sponge? sticky note? on top and bottom of ssd?
Foam tape. You can find a caddy if you search your model number
The HDD cable/connector is now out of stock. Is there any alternate part#?
Looks like ebay has a few. I would do a google search for it to keep your options open. IMITZ 2.5inch HDD/SSD Hard Drive Cable Connector for ASUS VivoBook S14/S15 S430U S530U /X412 X512 F412 F512/R424/R564/Huawei Matebook D
does this work for the vivobook 15 f512ja-ph31-bac as well?
what series laptop connector are you using?
if im replacing the ram should i disconnect the battery?
Yes
Can I replace the m2 128gb?
yes! i would make sure to back-up, clone, or image if you have any files.
can I add HDD 3.5" ?
My battery was glued in so I gave up :(
Is it has only 1 slot of memory? So you need to replace the old one to upgrade to a new one?
Yes. One removable ram slot. It has 4gb soldered ram on this model too
@@whattmeter sorry im confused, so it has 4gb memory soldered to motherboard and 1 removable memory slot? I want to buy this one but consider upgrading on adding new memory, not replacing the factory installed memory
Yup thats right. 4gb soldered to motherboard and one removable ram slot
If you wanted to add another stick of ram you need to remove the ram already installed if it has one.
I have an X515JA model and I upgraded to another Sata SSD but it doesn't recognize the disk in both BIOS and disk manager! have any tips on how to configure?
Are you replacing the ssd? You either have to clone or reinstall windows if you are replacing the ssd with a new one
@@whattmeter I'm adding the SSD. I have the SSD PCIe M.2 installed from the factory and I'm trying to add a sata ssd connected by the HDD port with the flat/sata cable but it doesn't give a sign of life even changing BIOS etc. already tested the ssd etc and it doesn't work. I bought the 10-pin flatcabe same pinout as the board and nothing went right.
@@DetonatorOrgum i got same trouble, i think maybe cable is broked? Do you resolve this trouble?
@@s.stepanchenko yes. I bought a flat cable (10 pins).
maybe the connector is different on that model? what's written on the MB connection? j5101?
Amazon isn't available for srilanka
Oh sorry to hear that. They have it pn Ebay
Can you upgrade the graphics card on this laptop?
Not that I know of.
Pliss help!
What is the name of the ssd connector

I put a link in the description too I believe
@@whattmeter ok thnx
Bro try minecraft and the other games you couldn't try
I will try.
Can i use 1tb to use there?
Yes you can
Wow thanks in planning to buy that laptoo.
Question. Is it good for gaming?I mean idk which chipset is better or cpu.its my first time buying one
Maybe make a video about playing games with it like genshin impact,valorant,pubg,cod etc
@@chadano4205 if you are going to game on it then it should be fine but I would recommend that you also perform a ram upgrade as the Asus vivobook 15 X512D only comes with 8gb of ram and almost half of that is used for the graphics however if you upgrade it to 20gb of ram it will leave you with around about 17gb ram available with the rest being used by the graphics (which is shared not Dedicated) I would also recommend that you go for something like a Samsung EVO drive as these are generally regarded as the best drive on the market I hope this reply has been somewhat of use to you
