Question about G53SX

[Peregrine]

Don't think you can go wrong with either Corsair or Kingston, based on lifetime warranties. Saving $5 a stick for Kingston isn't a bad thing.

I was going to say I only buy Crucial RAM from Crucial.com. Good prices, and lifetime warranty. I was not aware Kingston started a lifetime warranty program. Nice. I see Crucial made everyone else step up. (Crcial was certainly the first to offer lifetime warranty).
I've used Crucials warranty twice. It rocks. They don't even question it.
"Sorry, sir, send it back. We'll send you a new one!".

Hi and Welcome to the ROG community @Andrade

The G53SX have 2 HDD/SSD bays, so there should be no problem adding a second SSD to your machine and still have the 750HDD

EDIT: In this video you can see how to access the second bay in G53 series

thanks fuzon, do you recomend any brand that run the pc, and where can i buy it in an online store in the usa? i was thinking to buy a 60gb because i just want it for a couple of games and windos

[fuzon1337]

Just to turn the question a little bit, how much do you want to spend on a SSD upgrade?

I would recommend Intel SSD 520 xGB (comes in 60 GB, 120 GB, 180 GB, 240 Gb and 480 GB) If you have enough money to go for the 120 or 180 (I recommend 180) then I think that would be much better for you so the SSD don't get full right away after you have cloned the OS or whatever you're going to do :P

In this link you can read a review about the Intel SSD 520, so I hope that can give you some features that you like about it. The SSD have sandforce controller, and that should be very good as I have understood on other people in this forum who bought it

EDIT: Hmm about which online store to buy from in USA I'm not sure what to recommend there, since I don't live in the states, how about tigerdirect.com?

Perhaps this thread can give you the answer about how to migrate the Win7 OS over to the SSD from HDD
