Asus should have the parts; contact them to do it right.

As before, a ssd is lightweight so if you can put it in place with shims and a bit of duct tape, it will work.
If your objective is to replace the hard drive with a faster ssd then use the free Samsung ssd migration aid to move the C drive to your new ssd.
You may need a usb to sata adapter cable to do the job.
Something like this:

Then replace the hard drive with the ssd.
If you want to keep the hard drive for added bulk storage, you can buy an adapter.

If you are not harsh with your laptop, duct tape and some shims will do the job.
 


No. I want to use both - SSD and HDD. I have 2 slots for hard drive but i have only 1 of this metal panels to attach the drive and I cant use it cuz my HDD is on it so I need 1 more for the SSD. This is the problem.
