*** OFFICIAL GIGABYTE AERO 15 OWNERS LOUNGE ***

Hi does anyone have a link/tutorial video on how to add an extra Samsung evo M.2 PCIE SSD
I dont think 400++ gb is enough for me.
Thank you everyone.

 

What I did was clone my current SSD to the new one then just simply swap SSD spots.
You may not actually need to swap the spots for the SSDs. You may just be able to instruct the new to be the main one in the BIOS or at boot screen.

As for software, you can try Samsung data migration if your new SSD is a samsung which you say it is.
Or any other ones listed here along with a small walkthrough on how to use.

 

If you really want to cheat, put a windows 10 image on a boot usb stick.
Let it load into the install and format your older SSD from there.
Just be sure its the old one.

This should get you past your problem.

Hope this trick helps.

 

I did this and I still only get one drive to show up regardless of what M.2 slit they are in. If the LiteOn SSD is in the computer it boots from there regardless of the order in the BIOS. I'm thinking they are using the same lanes....

Can someone please help me ASAP
I screwed up bad this time, I formatted the whole AERO15 and the whole default drivers is gone.
Is there any possible way to make it back to factory default?
Hope you guys can help me out ASAP

 

Did you at least create a backup USB with their recovery software before you did this? If not you might be able to download the tool and do that on a separate machine then try and reboot into it.

 

No I didnt backup USB (, What tool is that, and by machine do u mean by any other laptop ?

 

does the utility driver disc help?

 

If you didn't remove the recovery partition then you can press F9 (I think) while the machine boots up and reinstall that way.

Otherwise look for "Smart USB Backup" here:

So I just ordered my Aero yesterday and received it today.. OF COURSE when I come here I read about a newer version on the way.. it HAD TO HAPPEN! LOL.

Anyway.. as it turns out I did not get 2 x 256GB drives (even though that was what the reseller said it would be); I got 1 x 512GB.
RAM: I was expecting 2 x 8GB but when I look under Task Manager - Performance - Memory it says I have 16 GB and 1 slot of 4 is used.
My question is:
I thought the Aero had 2 slots.. for a max of 32GB?? Why would it say 1 slot of 4 is used....?
