Defender P50 SSD Upgrade

MastaBlasta — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 14:33:58 GMT

Hi everyone,

I owe a Defender P50 NP70RND1 which has 2 x Foresee XP 2000 1TB SSD, so a total of 2TB.

As I am in need for more space for my photos and videos I was looking to upgrade at least one of them.

My questions here are:

- what is the max size that I can update a slot to?

- can I upgrade "uneven", i.e. 1 slot with 1 TB and the other with e.g. 4TB?

- do I have to change settings in BIOS?

- how do I know which bank has the C drive with the system installed?

- last not least as I am planning to keep 1 of the Foresee what would be your recommendation to pair it with?

Thank you very much upfront for your answers!

Any support is highly appreciated.

Thanks for reaching out, some general answers for your questions regarding the P50

Max size per slot? No documented limit; bigger than 1 TB should work despite spec sheets

Uneven sizes permissible? Yes—slots operate independently

BIOS/settings needed? Typically not; NVMe should be auto-detected

Identify C: drive slot? Use Disk Management or boot-test each drive one at a time

Recommended upgrade pairing? 2 TB or 4 TB NVMe SSD (Gen3 or backward-compatible Gen4)

Thanks
