SSD Upgrade on ROG G752 Laptop (Tips?)

[jd4reals]

Recently, I have noticed my laptop has gotten way slower then I have come to expect with this 1,500$ gaming laptop. (SPECS)

Lots of people are saying that upgrading to an SSD will significantly increase the speed of my laptop, as even basic functions like opening the

laptop settings or control panel has delays at times. My question is, has anyone upgraded their ROG G752-VL model to an SSD like a Samsung 950,

because I would really be interested in some tips.

Does your specific variant of the G752 have an M.2 slot?

 

If so, you can buy an M.2 SSD and clone your OS drive on it before formatting it for use a secondary while using the SSD as a primary.

"M.2 Slot

2x 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe (M key)"

The website states it has this, any recommendations for the best M.2 SSD at the best price?

Most likely going to go with the Samsung 960 M.2

Samsung makes great SSDs but they also don’t come cheap.

 

It’s a safe choice but do check around for any alternatives.

Actually, I checked if my model was compatible, it actually isn't.

Although, it is compatible with these ssds , which one do you suggest?

If you can afford it, go with the 850 Evo.
