GL552VW - Replacing DVD drive with SSD

Incuboaz

Hi guys,
I'll be very thankful if you can give me some advice...
Is it possible to replace my DVD drive with an SSD?
If so - can you please recommend any decent SSD component (at a reasonable price, prob up to 150$)?

Thanks in advance.

What about your m.2 port? You can get a m.2 ssd if you need more space

But is possible but not a good idea lost of modding a custom tray for the new drive and taking your labtop apart if you never have taken one apart it going to be hell lol and you will break the plastic case90% of the time

Thanks for your answer!
M.2 is indeed an option I will consider.
Regarding the drive - I've never used it and probably never will 🙂
Furthermore, I'll get an experienced fella to replace it.
Taking those two into account - would you recommend replacing the DVD drive or still going for the M.2?

Thanks,
Boaz
