Storage upgrade

RaffoTorre · ‎10-12-2019

Hello,

I've recently bought this laptop and I'm very happy with it but I would like to know if there's another slot so I can update the storage other than the M2 one in which I got the pre-installed NVME SSD 512gb.

Thank you for your help.

Would you kindly either provide the missing last letter of the product name?

You could also take look at the bottom of the notebook and locate the ProdID and post it here.

Hello,

Last letter is a L.

Thanks

It helps if you do put the country of your residence in instead of an ubiquitous alphanumeric string.

That way when we search to find compatible upgrades for you we can search online in the region where you live and can easily buy it.

Are you aware that the M.2 NVMe SSD is up to 17 times faster than a legacy hard disk?

Had you considered upgrading to a higher capacity M.2 SSD?

I live in Italy.

Yes I'm aware that nvme ssd are faster, but I know that my m.2 slot can only accept a total of 512 gb. So I was asking if in my model, other than the PCI M.2 slot in which my ssd is already installed, there is another bay, even a 2.5 inches with sata so I can have 2 different hard disk.

Thank you.

there is a place for a mobile legacy or SSD disk, but your notebook is unlikely to have the hardware that a notebook the same (Milos) codename delivered with an M.2 SSD/legacy Hard drive storage combo would have there.

I would open it up to take a look and satisfy my curiosity. Doing this will not violate the warranty, unless you damage it. That way you will see if the legacy hard disk mounting bracket hardware in the video is present in yours. It is simple to remove the base as there are only eight screws. One philips jewelers screwdriver is all you need. See the video below this line.

Your notebook will accept a 1TB M.2 SSD of the same type as the one that is there.

Thank you for your help, but by opening it up is there a risk to broke the warranty?

Like I told the notebook is 3 weeks old so the producer warranty is still valid.
