HELP! Storage expansion.

Infz — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 21:31:32 GMT

Hello,

I own the computer listed below at end of post. I currently have some 512gb phison ssd which isn’t enough so I’ve been looking to buy the “Kingston fury renegade pcie 4 nvme m2 ssd” to upgrade storage space. Pcie 4 because of future motherboard upgrade.

Can anyone tell what exactly the current phison ssd I have is? What kind it is and if I have another slot for the ssd I specified. I think there’s another slot to the right of the ram and cpu fan but I’m not 100% sure.

Help very much appreciated.

Picture of my mb.

Where I think it might be:

Name: ERAZER ENGINEER P10 MD34912

MSN: 10023715

Specs:
CPU: INTEL I5-9400F
COOLING: AIR COOLER

MAINBOARD: Medion B360H4-EM

MEMORY: 16GB DDR4-3200

GRAPHICS: NIVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060 6GB
Storage: S11-512G-Phison-SSD (512gb)

LAN: GIGABIT LAN

Hello Fishtown,

Nope, no information at all. I’ve searched without results.

Hey,

thank you for the information provided. Can you just confirm that the ssd I specified will work?
says I currently got sata but I don’t? Sata is a big disk?

Also what ssd I currently have or do I have to call MEDION to know?

thanks

Hello @Infz

, read out the current SSD S11-512GB with the SSD-Z program, then you will know exactly which one you have.

Hi @Infz

As already written, if the installed M.2 SSD is SATA, you can install the M. SSD PCIe (Kingstone).
What I don't understand is that you write that the two pictures are from your board.
But two different pictures are shown that are not yours either.
can you please explain that?

Hello,

From what I’ve found out the motherboard I have is a medion b360h4-em. Those 2 images I have attached in prior replies were pictures that looked identical to mine. One I sent might be wrong? I’m not sure. Sorry for confusion.

Either way I just took out the ssd under my cpu fan and it looks like this:

Not sure why it looks blurry after I uploaded it. Hope you can see it.

This means that I could add an extra ssd as specified before in the other slot to the right of the ram and cpu yes?

Regards

Hi @Infz
Your pictures haven't been released yet but you already know that.
If it is as described and as shown in the illustration of the board then that should be correct.

Hey @Fishtown

The picture of the ssd I took out from under the cpu slot had 2 “pins”. It’s a sata m2 ssd.

Hi @Infz

then everything fits. 👍 The new PCIe comes in the second free slot.
