Introduzione

Many people are a little confused about how to expand or replace storage on their gaming laptops, and this guide will help you upgrade your computer faster. There are also a lot of notes in there about some of the problems I encountered when replacing storage, so I'll share them with you. The device manufacturer is Gigabyte; the device model is AORUS 15P XD.

Prior to starting the repair, power off your laptop and unplug from the charger.

    • First, make sure the power is off and disconnect the power.

    • Use a Torx security screwdriver to remove twelve 1.2 mm screws from the back case.

    • Use an opening tool to gently separate the front and back case. Work your way around the perimeter of the laptop and undo the clips holding it together.

    • Remove the back case.

Thanks, does the new SSD need thermal pad as well? And if so what thickness?

Martijn Spits -

Yes. what thickness is required? and which one is gen 3 and gen 4 slots?

Mark Jose -

I read that the one slot can be used for gen3 or sata, however I don't see where might the sata drive can be placed inside this laptop.
