Is this true? Using the M.2 slot I'm limited to a 512GB ssd. I could not upgrade to a 1TB ssd?

The spec sheet shows the available configurations from the factory. You'd have to read the manual to see if there are limitations for DIY upgrades. There should be no limit for SATA devices but I've read some motherboards require a BIOS update to support higher capacity NVMe.

exactly what is it that limiting you to 512 GB ? a 1 TB M.2 SSD is the same size as a 512GB or 256GB even a 2tb is the same length only with chips on both sides. Even SATA legacy BIOS/MBR is good for 2 TB, NVME is not limited at all in UEFI/GPT

I was just reading the original post: "I want to know if there is a capacity limit for the M.2 SSD, that is supported by the motherboard." Not the physical size; the SSD capacity supported by motherboard. Even xeromist said, " I've read some motherboards require a BIOS update to support higher capacity NVMe. "
I would be highly surprised if the mother board actually limited the SSD capacity, but I had to ask. Your comment, "Even SATA legacy BIOS/MBR is good for 2 TB, NVME is not limited at all in UEFI/GPT " makes me feel better for the near future.

Well up to the G752 they haven't nor have they on any of the current MB I just noticed that you have a GL Series notebook they are quite different than the G Gaming models. You should download your owners manual and your answer would be there. I couldn't imagine any reason that Asus would limit M.2 SSD capacity on a new unit they are going bigger not smaller. Now then the vendor will put in smaller SSD to make you think your saving money they also will have cheaper screen put in. Different countries also have there own model created the last 4 digits mean a lot and most buyers have no Idea But for instance my G752VY came is lots of different configurations Asus on had 2 DH72 Dh74 or something like that mine has 32 gigs of Ram and 256 GB SSD and 1 TB Hard drive the other model had 512 Gb and 64gb of RAM, Different vendors would stick in 2 256GB SSD in RAID 1 and call that 512GB and like mine I have 2 32 GB Rams stick I still have 2 slot open to upgrade some came wit 4 8 GB so you were screwed to upgrade All were G752VY Yet huge difference, Those last 4 digits reallly mean a lot DH72 and the Best Buy will Be BBXX other vendows have there own built with differen XXXX numbers.
