Dell Inspiron 16 5635 (‎i5635-A005SLV-PUS) Storage Upgrade Tutorial

We've talked in great detail about the Dell Inspiron 16 5635  (‎i5635-A005SLV-PUS), an impressive 16-inch laptop with a killer display, powerful AMD Ryzen 7 7730U processor, 1 TB of storage, and 16 GB of RAM. It's a great laptop and one that we recommend every day for students and professionals who want to get a solid laptop with a good price-to-value proposition

However, everything can always be improved, and while we're fairly happy with the 1 TB storage, you might need a bit more storage capacity than us. It's with that in mind that today we'll walk you through the process of upgrading the storage on the Dell Inspiron 16 5635 (‎i5635-A005SLV-PUS)

Specifically, we're going to be introducing a 2280 NVMe PCIe storage module. It's not a complicated upgrade, you should be in and out in about 10 minutes tops. So roll up your sleeves, get your screwdriver, and let's do this!

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 82SB0001US Storage Upgrade Tutorial

When it comes to gaming laptops there are several factors that contribute to them being a success. We generally focus on the processor, graphics card, and RAM. However, one aspect that's often overlooked is the storage. Having enough storage will not only help for a snappier performance if you've saturated your current drive with data but it will also allow you to store more games as well as your media library.

Yesterday we walked you through a step-by-step guide on how to upgrade the RAM on the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 82SB0001US. Today we're going to go in a different direction and we're going to help you upgrade the storage. Specifically, we're going to swap out the 2242 NVMe PCIe SSD for a bigger 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD. 

Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-347N NVMe / Storage Upgrade Tutorial

We've talked in-depth about the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-347N, an interesting laptop that boasts a 15.6-inch Full HD display, 8 GB of RAM, and a very modest 128 GB of storage for an extremely compelling price point. It's a great laptop that's well-suited for casual users who don't need massive storage or massive RAM because they're going to work on relatively basic tasks on it.

However, should the need arise, it's also possible to upgrade the storage on this laptop. Specifically today we're going to teach you how to upgrade the NVMe storage on the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-347N. Much like the RAM upgrade that we covered earlier, it's a fairly simple procedure that shouldn't really take you much more than five minutes.

It's possible to also use a SATA III drive but for this tutorial, we're going to focus on the upgrade of the NVMe storage unit because this is the one that offers roughly 5 times the speed over the traditional SATA III and will have the biggest impact both in storage as well as actual performance.

HP 15-dy2024nr Storage NVMe Upgrade Tutorial

The HP 15-dy2024nr is a versatile laptop built to meet the needs of the modern user. It showcases a bright 15.6-inch Full HD IPS micro-edge display, perfect for a wide range of multimedia content. At its heart, an 11th Generation Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor delivers the power and speed required for varied tasks. The laptop comes pre-installed with an 8GB DDR4 RAM for efficient multitasking. Moreover, it houses a 256GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, ensuring fast application launches and sufficient space for storing files.

However, while 256 GB can be enough for some users, for many it's not enough. Additionally, boosting your laptop's storage capacity can significantly enhance its versatility and utility

The HP 15-dy2024nr, though already equipped with a solid-state drive for quick boot-up times and efficient data retrieval, can benefit immensely from a storage upgrade. As well as a RAM upgrade which we've already covered in this tutorial

Whether you're a digital artist with a large portfolio, a gamer with a library of high-definition games, or a professional storing numerous large files, upgrading your laptop's storage can make a world of difference. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to perform this crucial upgrade for your HP 15-dy2024nr.
