A quick guide looking at how to upgrade the SSD in the ASUS UX305CA Ultrabook.
The ASUS UX305CA takes a standard SATA M2.2280 drive – it is NOT compatible with NVMe drives despite being based on the Skylake-Y architecture.
After returning the NVMe drive we fitted a Sandisk X400 512GB M2.2280 drive to this laptop:

Thanks. Have just upgraded my 2016 UX305CA's LITEON 128GB to Samsung 860 EVO 500GB. Method: (1) Put 860EVO in Silverstone MS09 enclosure; (2) Use Acronis 2019 to clone internal LITEON disk to 860 EVo in USB3.1 Gen 2 enclosure; (3) Swap disks as per this video. All Good. Incidentally CrystalDiskMark 6 says these SSDs are about 10% slower in the enclosures.
Have you seen a huge difference in upgrading the original SSD to Sandisk? My Asus has a Liteon 128 GB, and I´m thinking in upgrade to Samsung EVO 860 or Crucial MX500 to get more performance. My processor is M3
Probably good idea to unplug the battery first before doing anything for extra safety
hello, I have purchased SUS ZenBook Flip S UX370UA-C4217T. Which Internal Solid State Drive would you recommend?
Hi i need help, is it possible to upgrade the ram on that computer? (zenbook ux305ca)
Aww why do you have to remove the feels 🙁 it sucks!
Do you know if its also possible to switch in a newer zenbook (its the zenbook pro UX550E) from a PCIe m.2 to a SATA m.2 ?
My previous laptop had 913 gb SSD and I thought the Zenbook Pro UX501JW had about the same memory space when I purchased it, but it's all the way down at 237 gb SSD. Is there a way to upgrade to 913 gb? I can't find an SSD card with more than 500-something.
Know this is an older video but I was thinking of purchasing an asus ux430un with the nvidia mx150 and I was wondering if upgrading that model's ssd would be similar to this and would work for a 1tb capacity Samsung 960 Pro? Been searching around on info on this model's upgradability but it's been dodgy since it isn't available in the larger markets like US I think. Thanks for your work! Your gaming tests have really helped me narrow down my priorities in picking a laptop.
Hello! Thanks for the very useful video, and is the SSD M.2 suitable for Plextor PX-512S2G?
Which Torx bit do you need? T4 or T5?
hey, first things first. great video!
how can a chance the cover of the LCD. where the asus logo is on. i barely can find any informations.
thank you in advance.
I have a new Asus UX410UQ. Is that M.2 slot support NVMe ?
Thanks for the upload. I need to change the battery, do you have a good guess what screw driver must be used for taking off the battery? I have this model for a little more than a year, 14 months , and the health of battery is at 84%. So the actual capacity of battery is declining and I guess by 2nd year it'll be at 70% or less.
Hi! Thanks for the video. I used it to upgrade my Zenbook UX305CA, which had a Micron M600 128GB SSD installed. Now it has a Samsung 850 Evo 500GB. However I was astonished that my device does indeed have an M-Key M.2 Port and is therefore capable of handling NVMe SSDs. I even took a picture, in case zoo don't believe me.
So, it seems to depend on the exact model, whether the UX305CA can handle the quicker NVMes.
No harm done for me, because I didn't plan to pay 300€ for an NVMe device with equal size to upgrade an Ultra ok that's cost only 680€ total. So I am not sad about the lower performance. 😉
Can this Crucial MX300 525GB M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (CT525MX300SSD4) fit into the UX305?
How do I check what 512gb ssd's are compatible with this laptop? I want to buy it
Some of the keys on my laptop are unresponsive and I'm currently using an external USB keyboard. I currently have the UX305CA touch version with 8GB Ram and 128Gb SSD. How do I fix the keyboard? Is the compartment hidden underneath the black tape? Thanks.
Hi, you mentioned that you were installing win8 on the new SSD, but where did you find drivers that worked? When i installed it, i was met with no networking, no touchpad and a really hard time finding any compatible drivers for anything. Thanks in advance.
Hello. Can you kindly help me? I am planning to buy a laptop and I am confused between the below two Indian models:
1. Asus UX305UA (Core i5, 8 GB RAM 256 GB SSD integrated graphics) with price $1040
2. Asus UX303UB (Core i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Graphics Nvidia Geforce 940M 2GB) with price $960
Mostly, I will do programming, web-browsing, reading and sometimes watching videos. Which one do you feel serves best for my needs? Thanks.
Where did you get the screwdriver you used for this video? The small, visible screws on the back of the ASUS Zenbook are quite unique.
if I replace the ssd with a new one…do I need to do any kind of formatting? and how do I copy program files and transfer my files over to the new one? thanks
