Hi,

Does anyone know if there's an extra hard drive bay to add storage to the Aspire R13-372T? If so, is there a specific hard drive model that will work? I currently have a 512GB hard drive, but I'm running out of space.

Thanks.

    Hi, Pathetic to know that you are running out of space in your computer. Unfortunately, there is no space to have additional HDD in your Acer R13 (R7-372T). The unit comes with M.2 2280 PCIE Gen3x2, Double side SSD and compatible sizes are 128GB/256GB/512GB only. 

    You can try using external HDD for storing data.  Visit the below website to get details on best external HDD for your laptop.

    Hi,
    Do you have a single 512GB M.2 SSD or 2modules of 256GB? Go to Device manager, expand Disk drives to find out.

    >>There is no extra hard drive bay to add storage. You may use memory cards to add additional storage space. This model supports memory card SDXC and MSXC up to 2TB. You can create an icon for the card and keep it on the desktop for quick access. If you have large collections of photos, music, movies etc then you can store them on SD cards. Further, you can now install programs on SD cards, too. 

    >> The quickest way to clear space is to run Microsoft’s built-in Disk Clean-up utility, or an alternative such as CCleaner Free, Microsoft’s Disk Clean-up utility can safely delete hidden system files. Click the button that says “Clean up system files” for the option to delete various files including “Previous Windows Installation(s)”. 

    Next, go back to the Storage page and click on your C: drive. Windows 10 will scan and tell you how much space you have free.  

    >>Finally, you can open File Explorer, right click on the C: drive, select properties, and check the box for disk compression. According to Microsoft when done (takes a while) that should reduce the disk space by 1.5GB (-x86) to 2.5GB (-64)
