Qquestion: compatibility on SSD for upgrade on my G752VT?

deathscythe0021 · Jul 13, 2018

Hello!

I have G752VT with 64GB of ram and original HDD. I want to do some upgrade on the storage
but don't want to pay a lot, I am looking to put a WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s M.2 2280 SSD(WDS100T2B0B) in. Before I go out and buy I am wondering is it compatible? It is M.2 (2280) has somebody try to put WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB PC SSD drive in the G752VT?

Looking at the spec page:

2.5" SATA3*1
- 500GB HDD 5400/7200 RPM
- 1TB HDD 5400/7200 RPM
- 2TB HDD 5400 RPM
PCIE x 4 256G / 512G

The only M.2 drives that were available were PCIe based, not SATA.

The M.2 2280 slot does not support M.2 SATA SSD

Not sure that drive will work.

Under "storage", the specs list a "PCIE x 4 256G / 512G"

The drive you've selected is a SATA based m.2 drive.
So, either you replace the current HDD with a SATA III 2.5" SSD, or, you get a PCIe based m.2 drive.
Samsung 970 EVO, for instance. A lot more money for the same GB.

A 2.5" SATA III SSD is the same performance as the m.2 SATA III drive you listed above.
