Razer Blade 15 2022 2nd NVMe SSD fit (and heat)

Thank you! For the record, I took the plunge, and the 980 Pro 1TB fit as well. It appeared to be seated a bit high, but I had no problem closing the case and using the drive.

Razer Blade 15 2022 2nd NVMe SSD fit (and heat)

SkyRhoI just bought the Blade 15 4k and also would like to install a second SSD. I'm curious about the screw drivers you used and where you got them. Thanks for any pointers. Sorry, SkyRho, for not responding back in May - I am sure I am too late for you, but in case anyone else comes by with the same question, I splurged for the iFixit Essential Electronics Toolkit on Amazon for $30. I figured it would be good to have on hand generally, and it is a very nice set that did the trick. Just an aside, pulling off the case once all screws were removed was super scary. There was a lot more resistance than expected and I had to be very brave to use the amount of force required on a brand new, very expensive machine.

riccardo.mgnoHi Sandysp, I'm looking at doing exactly the same: how is the heating? Did you take the 980 heatsink or no heatsink? How did you solve the heating risk? I got it without the heatsink. There is zero extra room in there. However, you are installing the SSD over a metal plate that is between it and the other card, which presumably helps with heat disbursement. The entire laptop releases a lot of heat - it is definitely not a laptop you can actually place comfortably in your lap. However, that is consistent with reviews from people who don’t seem to have installed the second SSD. I bought a laptop stand even for when it is on the desk to help with airflow. I don’t find it to be frying my hands, which is a good thing. I haven’t been checking internal temperatures (I am not that technically inclined), but I haven’t noticed any performance issues. I consider my SSD installation to be a success. Good luck!
