Hello,

my original SSD NVMe KXG60ZNV512G KIOXIA seems to be nearly dead as stated by the diagnostic tool several times.
I need to replace it.
2 questions?
- what shuld I check to make sure my new SSD is compatible?
- Can I plug both SSD at the same time to the motherboard in order to clone the existing SSD to the new one? (do I need both to have the same capacity)

Thanks a lot

A1. Its existing drive is a Toshiba 512GB, you can use ant standard M.2 NVMe SSD from Crucial, Samsung ... But if you wish you can use Toshiba again.

 

A2. No, it does not have s second M.2 slot. You can use external adapter. I actually use the following tool

 

                   Simplecom SE516 NVMe/SATA Dual Protocol M.2 SSD Tool

 

I bought from that store too (you should be able to buy it or a similar, cheaper one in your country)

 

Regards.
