Hello, this is my first post in the ROG forums. I have a question about upgrading the 5400RPM 1TB hard drive in the G750JX-DB71. I know a bit about computers, but I haven't ever messed around with changing parts out of laptops. I'm certainly no expert.
I would like to replace it with
this.
First of all, is this compatible? Everything I have read would suggest that it is.
I figure that I will install a new drive before I even set up the laptop, just so I don't have to transfer files. Is the installation as simple as popping out the old drive and inserting the new one? I have already watched a video on how to do it, but are there any steps required once turning the computer on? I assume that the 1TB drive doesn't have anything installed on it out of the box; everything is installed on the SSD?
Which leads me to my last question. Is the drive I've chosen a good choice? I plan on using externals with thunderbolt to store assets for all of my Adobe CS editing needs, so size isn't a terrible issue. I just want the secondary drive to store the typical junk (films, pictures, etc). I just want a fast and dependable secondary drive.
Sorry for the terrible mess of questions. Just want to make sure I cover all of my bases. Thanks.
