Hello!

I bought the above mentioned laptop because it had the best specs for the price. Yes, it runs hot, even with the cooling pad I bought with it. Other than the heat, my only other issue so far is with the 256G SSD that it comes with. I bought it knowing that I would install a second drive for my Steam Library. Does anyone know of a good 2.5" drive (SSD or HDD at least 1 TB) that is compatible and will work well?

Thanks, 
PT

    Good night PorcupineThumbs  !

    This model A717-72G-700J, comes with a slot for adding SSD M.2 2280 sata 3 or NVMe and an input to the HDD, see:

    However, if this model came with a factory SSD M.2, it will not come with the cable nor with the HD support, it is necessary to purchase this kit here: https://csapps.acer.com/kit-request/# submit
