Hi! Happy holidays.
I've had my ROG Strix Scar for about seven months now, and I LOVE it! However, even with the included 1TB of storage, I've found I've filled that pretty quickly and am looking to upgrade. I understand there's a second M.2 NVMe slot, and have no qualms getting in there and swapping or adding a new SSD. My hesitation stems more from the maximum amount of storage I can add.
There aren't any support manuals for my specific device on the website anymore, however, this year's model is now saying it will only take up to 4TB. I haven't looked into my BIOS yet to see what it says, and I would like to see if anyone has experience with exceeding that 4TB storage limit, or even how adding a SSD with a heatsink included worked for them.
Currently leaning towards Samsung's 990 Pro, since I have one in my PS5 that I really like. I'll start out with an additional 2TB, and will plan on swapping my current 1TB SSD later, but would like to know if I can increase that storage size beyond another 2TB.
