Asus G74SX-A1, G74SX-DH73 gaming laptop Second Hard Drive Installation Video Review

[munnyay]

Could I take out my hard drive and put in in a PS3?

[MadNukeGames]

@munnyay Why would you want to with a laptop like this? If you have the money for a great laptop like this, than you could just go out and buy a separate hard-drive that actually is known to work for PS3.

Becaus rating watches ram speed not the amount of them. That means with 4gb 1866 ram rating will be bigger then 16gb of 1333 ram.

I haven't seen any explanation as to where to get this stupid hd cable? Can somebody please tell me where the hell to get that cable because no one seem to have it!!! Btw I've already checkout prostar's site and no i didn't find any mention or offer there either.

Hi, the video is not very smart. It misses the important points. It only shows the guy screwing and unscrewing.

There are two importants points: 1. To connect to the hard drive the cable you have to pull/slide the little black piece away from the hard drive head. Insert the cable and slide back the black thing to lock it.

2. On the matherboard you have to lift it and push it a little back. Insert the cable and push it down to lock the cable in place.

I'm not seeing how the cable is inserted into the machine and I am having trouble. Finally figured out how to get it inserted into hard drive adapter but still struggling getting it inseted into machine, Is the little black thing supposed to open up like it did on the adapter?

[txgeekette]

@txgeekette I found a forum that explains. The little blac k piece slides up, Then you insert the cable and slide it back down to lock. This isn't clear in the documentation or video.

Thanks for a great video. My cable adapter came in two pieces, and I can't fit the blue hdd end of the cable into the other part (that goes into the hdd). The cable seems to be to big.

I can see @1:10 that u have not remove your blue things so I guess i won't help me?

Do you have any good tips? :)

Primary Hard drive. If you want to upgrade to an SSD, it shall be the Primary Hard Drive. 2nd Hard drive shall be for data storage. So you can have the fastest speed to download application from primary hard drive. A very good choice for Solid State Drive (SSD).

Samsung memory.

Hi! I got 2 questions... Wich hard drive comes with the OS?? The 1rst or 2nd one?? I´m looking forward to get an SSD and change it (just to save time hehe)

And the other question, with wich memory ram comes?? Samsung SODIMM PC3-10600 Non-ECC 1333mhz ddr3??

[espica]

@manuelchavez87 I have the same question, what kind of memory is it? I did put 2 Corsair 1333 4gb of ram (to a total of 16gb) and it lowered Windows ram rate. I get a 0.2 higher rate with the original memory even when it's 4gb less.

I wonder why.

check out our website articles at pro-star.com We have an article to discuss about it.

@Drukai33 the G74SX-XR1 seems to have 192bit bus since it has 3gb of videomem. Models equipped with 1 or 2gb mem are 128bit and 1,5 and 3gb are 192bit.

[ProStarVideos]

If you purchase the laptop from Prostar, you can order the cable and bracket from us. Sorry, the supply is limited. We only supply to our own customers.

Hey where do you get that adapter cable, my ssd didn't come with that adapter and neither did my g74 laptop.

[HDFATBOY55]

@bprajapa I got the adapter cable with my G74. It comes in a little plastic see thru bag. You may have thrown it out by accident. Just get one from NewEgg.com. Shouldn't cost much. Good luck

Please read our article in our website: "Asus G74SX vs G73SW Gaming Laptop".

You are talking about external memory bandwith. The speed, memory size and core are better in Nvidia GTX 560M compare to Nvidia GTX 460M. Check the article. It is good to read.

[Drukai33]

does anyone know if the asus G74SX-XR1 model has the 192bit or 128 bit grafix card?

[maquinistafodao]

I want to buy this notebook but I just play fps. Since the weapon goes off the screen, in 3d is it good looking ou 'cut' or something? Thanks.

[veterankill]

@maquinistafodao Wha? I don't quite get what your asking

[Jorlanjm]

I dont like g74 cause it uses ribbon cables for the 2nd HDD...its not a desktop...G73 are better...and yes he got shaky hands...

[olds442hurst]
