My asus proart studio came with two 512gb m.2 ssd populating both the m.2 slots and they came configured in a RAID 0. How would I upgrade the storage to a single 2tb m.2 ssd?
O.K thanks. What we needed was the model ASUS ProArt StudioBook 15 H500GV-XS76. Different model’s layout of components and how they disassemble can be different. This YouTube video should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-O_fz1v… Current two 512 GB PCIe drives to left and right just above the battery in video. So to upgrade the storage, get an M.2 to USB 3.0 (get 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) if possible) enclosure and install the new drive in it. Connect USB cable and boot up. The manufacturer of the new 2TB M.2 SSD drive should have a free drive cloning program on their web site to download. Read the instructions for the cloning software. Clone to the new drive. Unplug everything - charger, USB enclosure. Unscrew cover screws as shown in video. Open case and disconnect battery. Discharge power by holding down power button. Discharge yourself of static electricity by touching something metal. Only touch what is necessary for the job. Unscrew and take out the two 512GB PCIe drives - carefully keeping the screws. Install new drive in one of the M.2 SSD slots and screw gently into place with one of the screws you saved. Reconnect main battery and reassemble bottom cover. Power up system. If all went according to directions the laptop will boot up like nothing had happened. Viola 2TB of storage! Good luck. P.S. b = bit and B = byte which is commonly 8 bits numbered 0 to 7. And your drives are M.2 NVMe’s
I’ve the exact same machine! This post is old, but hopefully someone else benefits. In order to use RAID in this setup, one of the drives HAS to be an INTEL NVMe SSD! That is the only way the RAID will work.And if you try cloning the RAID to another drive and installing - won’t work. I ended up ditching the 2x 512GB Samsung NVMe sticks and replaced them with 2x Sabrent 4TB NVMe sticks - no RAID, cause it didn’t work anyhow! Asus tech support is pretty lame in this regards. They knew nothing about nothing and kept reading from the User Guide, almost verbatim!YMMV, cheers, MadDogDean
