I wish there was a compatibility checker that could be used, I am wondering if a particular seagate drive will work in my nitro 5 AN515.  
The current 256 SSD is proving insufficient for my Steam-playing sons that currently have over 160Gb in ARK data alone!

Looking to add 2TB storage in the 2.5 inch space.  Would love to get straight SSD, but at 300$, the 90$ price tag of the SSHD is easier to swallow.
Here's the drive i'm looking at :

    The HDD is compatible.

    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    I need the model number of the device. You can open 'RUN' and enter msinfo32. In system summary you will find the system's model.
