have a Asus ROG GL552vw. Will it support Samsung 850 EVO M.2 MZ-N5E500BW SSD ?

Plz tell me if i can add a Samsung 850 EVO M.2 MZ-N5E500BW SSD in my asus rog gl552vw cn426t. I would really appreciate some help.

On the specification page of ASUS website for gl552vw, it says...

- 1TB HDD 7200 RPM
- 1TB HDD With 128 G SSD SSD (M.2 2280)

However the variant cn426t is not specifically elaborated. From the above specs, it can be assumed that the motherboard of all gl552vw variants has a M.2 slot. However the only entity that can confirm is ASUS itself.
The best way would be to call up ASUS customer support and confirm with them. If they confirm you have a M.2 slot on that specific model, you are good to go.

Thank you Hellfire 13,


I do have an m.2 ssd slot, but I don't know it can support upto 256 gb or 1 tb.

The volume of the drive doesnt matter. If it can work with 128gb, it should work with 1tb just fine.
But one other thing you need to check is the length of the drive. I think there are three different sizes, not sure which one is compliant with your board.

I've just installed 860 EVO 500gb m.2 stick in my laptop and it works just fine. Hope this helps.
