Asus G11CD | Can I put a Samsung SSD in it?

[TMS-SfpD]

So I will be buying the Asus G11CD Oculus ready PC. The one with the i5, GTX 970, and 8 gb ram. What I plan to do is use the already given 1 to hdd for storage and play games off of an SSD. My problem is, I don't know if I can install a Samsung 850 Evo Internal SSD in the computer, I tried to Google it and find out if the G11 has an extra hdd slot and upgradeablity but there's nothing on Google.

The plan:
Order asus g11cd oculus ready
Asus VG248QE Monitor
Corsair SSD Mounting bracket
Samsung 850 Evo, 250gb.
The concern: will I be able to install the SSD with just a mounting bracket and the ssd itself? I don't know if the G11 supports it. I googled it but to no avail, at this point I just need a g11 owner to tell me

Yes you can and if your gonna have problems mounting it you can just use something like double sided tape and put it on the bottom or side of the case.

So it does have an extra sata 3 cable for the 850 evo?

 

[TMS-SfpD]

Would it be a bad idea to put it on top of the hard drive? Or should I just stick it somewhere with double sided tape instead?

 

[jimbha]

I think you will need a sata cable the pc probably does not have an extra one but sata cables are pretty cheap.

And just stick it on to the bottom.

Okay I'll get one, it does have available ports for the cable right? I heard bad things about the Asus G11CD when it comes to upgradeablity... That's the thing I need help with, don't feel like wasting 99$ rn.

 

[jimbha]

Yeah it does have extra sata ports

Yay okay, and one last thing, I'm a complete noob but I do know that there's 2 cables to plug into the ssd, can you point me to those? I think one goes into the psu and one to the mobo..

 

[jimbha]

Yeah you need to connect sata cable and sata power cable to ssd just google them and see what they look like.
