Question How to know if my Asus ROG G551JX laptop would support a 4tb ssd ? If so which one ?

[alleniscool]

I have been using an Asus ROG G551JX laptop since 2015. It currently has a 1 TB hard disk. Due to some circumstances, I have to use the laptop instead of my desktop for music production. So I need to install a 4TB SSD, but a lot of people have expressed their doubts about whether a 4 TB SSD would be supported. I would like some help in determining whether my laptop model supports a 4TB SSD and if so, what would be a compatible SATA SSD? Any help would be appreciated

Thank You

There should be no reason that laptop can't use any sized drive. Are there any in particular you're looking at? Budget?

I was looking online and these were the names that popped up as compatible ones - Crucial MX500 4 TB and SAMSUNG 870 EVO 4TB. My maximum budget is 500 USD. Also if 870 EVO is compatible, wouldn't 870 QVO also be compatible?

Any 2.5" SATA drive will work. Crucial and Samsung make very good drives, just go with whatever you can get cheaper.
