Upgrade SSD on Zenbook Pro UX501VW?

[Trinimini]

Hey everyone,

I've been looking into getting the Asus Zenbook Pro UX501VW. Before I do though, I'd like to know if anyone can confirm if the SSD is upgradeable? More specifically could I install a 512GB Samsung Pro 950 (seen here: http/www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147467) down the road? If it makes a difference, I'm from Canada, and would be looking to buy from a retailer here.

Hi,

The answer is YES, you can use the Samsung Pro 950 with the Zenbook Pro laptop.

Here's a video guide on how to disassemble it as well.

I was wondering if the Asus ZenBook UX510UW RB71 can be upgraded with a SSD as well. Thanks.

I chatted with Asus support yesterday, asking to see if my UX501J was upgradable to ITB with the new Samsung 960 Pro. They said it was limited to 512GB.
