WHICH SSD for TG01-2032no

[32Oz]

Hello! I have a Gaming Desktop TG01-2032no - Stationär Gamingdator with AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700G Processor och RTX 3060. I need some help with finding the suitable SSD for this specific pc to upgrade my storage.

Hi:

According to the specs, the PC comes with a 512 GB NVMe SSD.

Your PCs M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.

While a PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD will work fine, it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3.0 slot.

You can replace the 512 GB drive with one from 1 TB to 4 TB.

I have found that a PCIe Gen 4.0 does not cost much more than a Gen 3.0 drive and in some cases may even cost less nowadays.

Look into the Crucial NVMe series, Samsung 990 Pro, WD Blue or WD Black.

Here is the service teardown video for the original TG01-0000 model series which is the only one available.

Thank you for your answer. Is it fine to use a SSD with SAT cable or would you recommend that I switch the m2 Nvme to higher storage?

You're very welcome.

I recommend you replace the NVMe SSD with one having a greater storage capacity since NVMe SSD's are up to 5x faster than SATA SSD's.

Now if you just plan on using a 2.5" SATA SSD for storage only, you may want to go that route, but you will have to see if the parts are there to install one since the PC did not come with a 3.5" SATA hard drive according to the specs.
