Jay I really like the edit of the video, Congratulations. And also great video btw to you and Rich, Love ya.

I don't recall having such a hard time when I did this. The process went pretty smooth. But one of the first things I did when I got my device was apply all of the updates so that's probably why

Gladly been watching you for years now Rich, keep posting brudda

The opening of the videos is great!

Tutorials on the channel now? Excellent.

I love how lul this is while also being wlquality helpful content u and Jay are the best.

I was watching this while at work and that first screw burp almost got me in trouble. Thank you for the video. 😎👍

Awesome content, massive inspiration to us smaller creators 👍👍

I love how Rich can successfully install a 2230 nvme SSD in an Asus ROG Ally, yet QuantumTV can’t install an SSD in his PS5 without stripping the screw (with his dollar store tool kit).

Only three weeks after launch and 50 other SSD upgrade videos. On the cutting edge of technology here at RTU.

Thank-you, Rich! 😎👍

Love Jays editing. "NO TAINT"

That "shorter" had some torque in it 😂.

Thanks for the vid as usual! What's your luck with fail/corruption rate for these larger storage capacities?

you are right about the updates in my experience also. I always suggest people keep checking both apps for updates often. Also windows optional updates has had a few drivers as well to update.

15:39 As someone with a ROG desktop, I have to go through the same thing. You would assume everything you need to update would be under just one thing, but no...there are two separate things I constantly need to check to keep updated.

thanks Rich, this tutorial helped after all the others i watched didnt help my problem. I just recieved my Ally back from asus with a new motherboard , i had the dreaded sd issue. I swapped out the hd with a larger one and had nothing but trouble, only fix was after watching your vid and reinstalling the old hd and doing all the updates was i able to swap out for the new hd

4:25 I thought a demon took over at that point

This SSD works great in my Steam Deck too.👍

I wish I found your video first. Thanks so much.

Great Video Rich! You had me laughing! You Rock! 🤟🏼

Brilliant video what temperature does it run at now? I've seen so many different videos some saying remove the black blanket and some saying put a heatsink on it with the black blanket or without it I'm so confused

All great videos! Discovered you during lockdown. Just don’t wear a PF shirt aging lol

I don’t own a ROG ally but still watch. Hope your well Rich

16:13 This was the realest thing I've ever heard Rich, it has forever changed my life. Thank you

ReviewTech reviewing tech, this is new

Also that middle screw at the bottom does not pop off just unscrew it and once it does the clicking feel it's good to pop off

Love the opening music lol. Let’s go.

Hey Rich can you link where you bought the whole set of tools of ifixit?

I actually haven't got myself in a long time. Then again, how often do I go to Sam's club or the home Depot.

Is this the same ssd that the steam deck uses? I have 2 sitting around from the deck. The OG 512g and a 1TB. I ended up getting a 2TB for $190 on newegg several months ago that use to be over $400.

After doing all of this, do I have to reinstall everything I have or is that what the cloud stuff was for

I upgraded mine yesterday, super easy. Glad I sold the Deck a while ago, no need to go back.

I'd ask would you build and create your own console that can last?

I had this issue when I installed ssd in the ally out of the box so no updates. Setting time and date in bios fixed this for me. so you don't need to update at all or even go into windows, the stuck on checking is caused by the time and date being wrong.

Do you get higher temperature with the upgraded ssd?

I upgraded mine to 1tb last night and was stuck at the checking spinner but all my software was up to date! what ended up being the problem for me was the date and time was NOT correct in my bios! once I fixed that cloud recovery worked like a charm!

My first step of replacing the hard drive was simply creating a Windows bootable image on a flash drive. After installing the new 2tb drive, just boot the image.

Thanks for the tutorial! I am going to really save this video What are the specs of the new ssd you installed?

I heard you can only do the cloud recovery once. Is that true?

Hey rich you didn’t need to do all those updates. The problem is the date and time on the bios screen, fix it and it’ll work fine

Very helpful video 👍

Ive only not unplugged the battery once on my laptop and that was when i was adding a second ssd... I just hate how msi clips in the battery cable and makes you feel like you're gonna break the motherboard taking it out.

When, If I should swap to this device than my steam deck?

Hay sir what do you adivce me ps5 slim or xbox serie s right now i have ps4

Hope you have a good day, Rich 👌

Anyone know that bame of the background music??

Try to relax your asus for best results

TECH REVIEW IN THE USA?!?

A man upgrading his SSD in his ROG Ally on KZfaq

Can someone confirm if bios 319 nerfs performance. Some say it does and some say it doesn’t

Are people adding heat sinks to these?

lmao the Spawn Wave cut

Nice.👍

6:30 I also like living, Dangerously - Austin Powers

Can some one help and tell me what happens with all the games x3 I've got on my 512gb.... I need to download them again?

Make sure the date and time is correct before clicking recovery in the bios as well as plugging the battery back in after the install (I just went through this) to save yourself some headache and time!

I love my Ally. It's a Windows PC, so I just cloned the drive to a 2TB 2230 with easeUS and swapped out with no issue.

It’s not the same anymore. Just swapped mine finally went through no problem

You should review this thing. Reviewing tech in the USA.

I think I'm happy with my Steam Deck, I think something like this could make sense if you don't have a powerful PC or laptop... I bought the cheapest model Deck fully planning to upgrade the SSD immediately, but I mostly just played Indie/ small/ old games off SD, it's working perfectly. I'll play games like Cyberpunk on my PC. I'll still probably throw a 1TB NVME in it later, now that I'm using Desktop mode and downloading other stuff the 64GB drive is filling up. I might also look into dual booting Windows for a little more compatibility with the non Steam games.

Hold up, is Rich talking about tech? I never expected that!

Great content as always but you are entertaining all around 😂😂😂

As someone with an ROG Zephyrus (I wanted an easy pre-built high-end laptop because I don't have space for a desktop, shut up), that Armory Crate menu is VERY familiar.

The problem is the date in the bios not the updates. Other KZfaqrs have mentioned this

for anyone looking to do this get yourself a cheap dock either with a built in nvme socket or use an external nvme enclosure power everything up get a free copy of macrium reflect and just clone the drive BEFORE you ever take the original drive out ... once finished swap drives... all done

Here we go

Rich, I bought same SSD as you. Do you hear a noticeable hum now? My ssd is now louder than my fans at idle.

Who uses pre installed operating systems with all the bloatware?

We are watching a thoroughly baked bird father

Love your vids rich. If you have any spare desktop pcs I'll gladly pay for the shipping

Install it real good

the live updates is asus itself and it will notify when it has 1. you can postpone or restart now. i believe you can have your updates do automatically as well.

3:28 i demand taint

When he said the bottom middle screw was S̶̲͘H̵͉̚Ö̸̺Ŕ̷̦T̸͉͌E̵̼͛Ȓ̵̫ I felt that.

I ended up installing Win11 off a bootable flash drive (clean install) and did some reg edits to get the taskbar tablet mode and installed everything separately. Runs amazingly now.

I have the same problem. What I do is 1. Updated software same as this videos. ***2. Manually updated date and time in bios setting. Then it is sloved. For me the "Checking" process take around 5-10 minutes.

Now imagine a Nintendo Switch that had this capability.

Didn’t you delete a video that said something about the ROG Ally having an issue? I wonder if anyone know what it is

Pixel fold next? 👀

I've done this multiple times it still says network error during cloud recovery

Super simple and it only takes 12 hours to get it back up and running

Unfortunately, I'll have to try and find someone to help me with that whenever I get one. Have nerve issues so my hands aren't very stable.

I did updates and got stuck at checking Restarted it Went to bios again and top right you will see the time edit it And continue with the same steps It did cloud recovery then restarted and took me to the bios again for some reason I selected same steps again Said checking for few mins Now it’s downloading I think 14gb On 9% will take time

The thumbnail text made me think this was about your daughte lol😂

Let’s go, climb up on the top bunk with me and Jay and the birds. While we Netflix and chill and eat Jay’s roommates diabetic brownies.

Time for guessing game: What do you all think is Rich's wi-fi network name? nice video Rich...

Why is there a shortage of NVME 2230

Center screw shouldn't be removed only unscrewed. You can then Push on thei screw to Open the case, no pry tool needed.

Link to ssd?

Rog ally is just perfect man I love it so much, the only thing i hate is the dpad. I was raised on windows and I look to make this my all in one device and yes I had the steamdeck since launch but I'm loving this more .

Bill gates. Shirtless. Riding on birds.

Rich, you forget an update!!!. Make sure to plug in the Ally into the chicken on your desk!!!

Hi Rich, I subscribe to your skibeedu bop channel. You inspired me to create my own channel. Thanks, wish me luck.

Got the z1 extreme! Small knit pics...no digital keyboard with numb keys is pain from time to time, touch screen can be a pain at times,playing gta5 on the go ...isn't ideal unless you're near a power outlet

Mine says can't connect to servers then asks me to connect to Chinese based server?

You don't sound paranoid at all to me. Shoot, I would not even do that. I will just use what I have.

The cloud recovery does not work. Do not rely on this. I have found this out the hardway. I and many others keep getting the network error message when it comes time to recover the image. I am attempting to do this via a recovery disk and I am unsure if it will work.

You got the nerve and gall to wear a Planet Fitness tshirt
