And which will affect the performance to better act ?

Predator 15

G9-593-79TL (The one with nVidia 1070 graphics card)

Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Recommended maximum size is 512GB M.2 SSD but I have seen Crucial selling 1TB drive as compatible with this model, so it might work but haven't done it myself, there won't be any noticeable difference in speed between SATA and NVMe SSD but if you transfer large files often, you may benefit by installing a NVMe SSD.

Hi, brummyfan2. Could you explain a bit more about this answer? When you say the "recommended" maximum size is 512Gb, I assume you mean it says that in the service manual for this device. True? If so, why would it say such a thing in the first place? Unless there are severe limitations to the current generation of NVMe controllers, I would expect the upgradeablity of M.2 NVMe drives to be similar to traditional hard drives and the user should be able to replace their drive with any size NVMe drive currently on the market (like the 2TB ones) and any drives in the near future (4TB, 8TB, etc). And that since the larger NVMe drives tend to have better specs for read and write that they would usually outperform the smaller drives. So, the only downside to bigger drives is the price and I don't think the service manual should take that into account. So what makes 512Gb recommended? Is it true that the controller in this machine somehow does not perform as well with drives larger 512GB?

Hi,
Yes, that's correct, I got the information from service manual, I think it's recommended because that's the maximum size tested with the motherboard, larger size may or may not work, hence my reason for providing the Crucial link and also some members have successfully installed larger SSDs in other models.

I dunno about that model but on my G3-572 i have 2tb wd blue m.2 (not nvme) and 32gb hyperx, basically what they say in the specs/manual is what it was tested with like @brummyfan2 said, upgrade at your own risk
