Aurora-R7, adding SSD, instructions?
Hi, I just got an Aurora R7, and It doesn't come with a SSD. And now I wanna add a SSD for my R7. Which SSD I should have? Right now I like Samsung 860 PRO Solid State Drive 500GB. And do I need to buy any cable, or screw, or a bracket? I searched google for how to add a SSD but still curious. I'll be very happy If you know any video, or topic that might help me.
Thank you.

Agree. I have a SSD in my gaming laptop and It runs like a beast. Now My R7 even have an Intel Optane Memory, It's still slow.

Basically yes.
However, I think he has a 512gb SSD. That holds all Windows, all programs, all apps, and a few favorite large games. I would put all data-files and the rest of my large-game installs on secondary drive (ie, spinning-HDD or maybe a second SSD).

As I see your computer have 2 SSD, do you removed a HDD?
If you didn't remove, do you think I should remove it?Blackbeard-

Well, I can buy another SSD for storage.
Do you think I should remove my HDD?I've done the same thing, leaving the factory drives in and adding an SSD to SATA 3 or 4, however for some reason Im not seeing a drive letter associated with them in windows. It does show up istor program though. Any ideas why Im not seeing a drive letter and not having them accessible in windows?

I added a few Samsung SSDs to my R7 without any problems. I just placed them on the bottom of the case in the removable drive brackets. Here is a pic with them.
