Hi guys,
Please i need some guidance to order an ssd for my ASUS FX502VM-FY244 Laptop.
Specs
https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-FX502VM-7th-Gen-Intel-Core/specifications/It’s the variant with
-i7700 HQ
-12 GB ram
-gtx 1060 3 GB
-1 TB HDD 7200 rpm
I am looking for an M.2 500 GB SSD with nvme but I am not pretty sure if is compatible with – M.2 nvme .
HWInfo shows the motherboard to be an Intel HM175 Express Chipset but I couldn’t find any documentation&manuals on
https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-FX502VM-7th-Gen-Intel-Core/HelpDesk_Manual/ or in the specification page.
My confusion comes from this -> because on the specification page says only about sata III SSD, but here is the GL502VM with the same chipset HM175 and is listed with sata III and 128GB/256GB/512GB PCIE Gen3X4 SSD
https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ROG-GL502VM-7th-Gen-Intel-Core/specifications/ witch is a bit confusing, isn’t the same chipset ?
Here is the HM175 chipset specs
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/chipsets/mobile-chipsets/hm175.html Any safe bets ?
My thought is to buy a Samsung 512GB NVMe 960 EVO PCIE Express x4 M.2 2280 (normal or PRO) SSD to boot Windows 10 from it and the 1TB HDD to be used as storage but I want to be sure is compatible and also if windows can be booted from the m.2 sata and if there is any specific set up to be made in bios ?
I am ready to follow-up any other recommendations regarding the type of witch m2 ssd to buy .
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you!
