The Power of Modding: Asus ROG Ally Allows for 4TB M.2 Storage Upgrade

Since its release in June 2023, the Asus ROG Ally has captured the attention of the modding community. While the gaming laptop initially comes with 512GB of storage, some Redditors have discovered a way to install a whopping 4TB of M.2 2280 SSD storage. The modding potential of the ROG Ally is truly impressive, allowing gamers to have more storage space to accommodate the demands of modern PC games.

According to reports from VideGameZ, these modders have found a method to fit a standard M.2 2280 storage into the ROG Ally by removing part of the chassis. It’s important to note that this modification is irreversible and will void the device’s warranty. To successfully install the additional storage, users must remove antennas and insulate the SSD with a non-conductive foil.

Initial results have been promising, with modders reporting no overheating or performance issues after two weeks of testing. The WD 4TB SN850X storage and Crucial P3 Plus 4TB (CT4000P3PSSD8) storage have been particularly successful in these modifications.

The Future of Modding with Asus ROG Ally

The Asus ROG Ally shows great potential for modding not only in terms of gaming software but also for enhancing overall performance. The ability to upgrade the laptop to this extent early in its launch indicates the untapped modding potential that owners can explore in the future. With firmware and driver updates, Asus has already demonstrated how these simple enhancements can significantly improve gaming performance.

It’s exciting to envision a future where the ROG Ally, whether officially boosted or modified through warranty-voiding processes, boasts specifications that surpass its initial capabilities. The PC portable truly embodies untapped potential, as emphasized in this Tom’s Guide review. As the modding community continues to push the boundaries, we can’t wait to see what other possibilities lie ahead.
