    If you like this video then you will definitely like my video on Bazzite OS and installing it on the Cheaper Asus Rog Ally Z1: https://youtu.be/gt8CWKW3jV4 Be Cautious, depending on the Manufacturer, making changes to your device may affect your Warranty. Check out my original video covering the Rog Ally. It's an unbiased account of the good and bad about the Ally.

    What a great video... just did the 4tb upgrade w/ the heatsink, got the screen protector and got the enclosure. Super easy and now I don't care that my SD card reader broke again for the 3rd time... :(
  • @LeNerdarto
    awesome man! just what i needet, thx a lot, great vid!
  • Great video, dude. I like how you talked about other accessories to purchase, that was very helpful. I do think Asus accessories are overly expensive, though. I think the Rikiri controller isn't worth the price it goes for. Coll controller, though.
  • Gulikit King Kong Pro Max 3 has been my controller of choice for my Ally and I havent looked back since!
  • It seems to me that the cause of the drop in speed in transfers or writing data to the SSD is caused by the high temperature. If you notice when you put in the adapter for the larger SSD, it is mounted almost on the processor.
  • @CrislynV
    Did you have an issue with the back paddles no longer pressing down after this install? Only 1/2 of them are pressing down, not sure what happened as they were working before
  • i would recommend if you have a dock using Ethernet over WiFi as i takes less time to install via asus cloud recovery
  • @Schnitz808
    Dope video bro! How many times does the basues battery pack charge the ally?
  • @brandonr3115
    Hi there, did you have to mod the oem case/backplate to get everything to fit? Or did you not test with the oem backplate
  • @lydon2006
    Has anyone done the 4tb upgrade if so any issues?
  • @lonelygoner2012
