Asus G751 coming with Maxwell GTX 980M and GTX 970M

Of course it is.

 

I had the same worries - but yes, it can take a 2.5" SSD. It doesn't seem to have a a 2.5" caddy for it though.. Which is a bother.

Does anyone know where to get one of those cheap in Canada?

 

Ok so i think i will buy one before my G751 is delivered.

EDIT: There (if you can read french ), it is confirmed that the G751JT-T7016H (the JT with no SSD) has a 2.5" free slot!
And i didn't know that the JT version has a blu-ray player?!

 

What makes you think that caddy is not included? I'm sure it comes with it ,even when you going with one HD configuration. Ask retailers here to be 100% sure.

 

This does. Skip to the 13:00 mark.



Gentech confirms that the JY model at least does not come with a 2.5" caddy for the second drive bay.

 

If you get ssd in msata config - then no caddy of course. If you get one hard drive option - caddy is included.

 

I hope you're right. Thankfully there's an NCIX right by where I live, so if not, hopefully I can find something there. (... Though I can't find any laptop drive caddys on their website..)

 

Yeah but JY is the only one with PCIe.

This is in the official Asus announcement.

 

I thought I would put together a list of communications as of today, detailing the responses
from the different stores around Europe and England & Australia. I found it rather interesting dealing with so many
shops and equally interesting reading some of the responses.

The generic message I have sent to each inbox or webnote service is as following;

i got ASUS-G751JY-T7056H witch is with one 1TB HDD and i have caddy for another 2,5 HDD there.
But the problem i have is that i dont have the m.2 pcie caddy and i have samsung xp941.
Any where i can buy the m.2 caddy ???

 

maybe this will help G750JH-DB71 Who has replaced the M.2 drives with larger drives? [Archive] - ASUS Republic of Gamers [ROG] | The Choice of Champions – Overclocking, PC Gaming, PC Modding, Support, Guides, Advice

 

Optron, can you check to see if the PCIE connector is there at the top of the bay, where if the M.2 PCIE SSD / tray were there it would plug in.

Without the PCIE connector already there for the tray/M.2 PCIE SSD to plug in, you won't be able to add an M.2 PCIE SSD drive.

You are the first person I have talked to without the M.2 PCIE included, and we appreciate you looking to verify if the PCIE connector is there - you may need to pop out the 2.5" drive in there first to be able to see that area.

Here is a video showing the M.2 PCIE SSD / tray and removal showing the PCIE connector.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akjzKO4HfQQ

Congrats on your new G751

 

the m.2 connector is exactly as in the video, 13:20s in the video you see it. If you remove the m.2 caddy, you can put 2.5 caddy there instead.
Just my notebook came only with one drive and with 2x 2.5 caddy.
And the 2.5 caddy is blocking the m.2 connector, so i cant install it on top of the caddy, just need the same m.2 caddy as in the video.

 

praetorianx, that is for the M.2 SATA SSD's and RAID0 adapter card in the G750JH/JZ, it doesn't apply to the G751.

I posted an answer to Optron, and there is a video that shows the tray / M.2 PCIE SSD and bay connector.

I did make a post with info on the new at the time Samsung XP941 M.2 PCIE in preparation for an eventual Asus use in a laptop, it might be a little dated now, but anyone is welcome to post an update with additional new M.2 PCIE SSD's and the tray for the new G751.

Samsung XP941 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD Mini Review

Thanks praetorianx!

 

Optron, that's great news, we were worried that the M.2 PCIE connector wouldn't come with G751's without an M.2 PCIE SSD.

Did you check around in the box? The G750's came with parts in the box, some had caddy's installed already, some didn't. Since the M.2 PCIE tray can't live in the bay at the same time as the 2.5" drive, maybe Asus tucked it away somewhere in the box?

Asus taped the drive attach screws for the spare caddy to the inside of the box, inside a plastic bag.

You will need to contact Asus, as it is too early to have the part available in the Asus estore. The G750 parts showed up about a month after release of the G750. A search on G751 doesn't turn anything up yet.

Early on us G750 owners would ask for such parts from the Asus support via a Technical Inquiry. You can create a login, register your laptop, and file the Technical Inquiry here:

Be patient, and be prepared to go through several people before finding someone that can help - be persistent but polite - and state your case in short simple English (or your native language) as their first language isn't English. It can be frustrating at times trying to get your point / question across, but eventually it works out.

Please come back and let us know what Asus says.

 

well thanks for the info. i am from europe, hope they will help and send me the m.2 caddy or something.
meanwhile i need to figure out how to attach it by myself.

 

Optron, have you plugged in the M.2 PCIE XP941 to test what kind of support it will need - size wise?

I am thinking a couple of pieces of Cork under each corner, and a piece of foam on top, might be enough to wedge it in - even without glue... but I don't think I would travel with it

Please let us know how you get it fitted, and please post a photo or two.

Edit: It is confirmed by WhiteEyeDoll, after contacting Asus Finland, all JY's come with the PCIE connector, but he doesn't mention anything Asus said about the tray.

http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?52563-Shipping-to-norway&p=444036&viewfull=1#post444036

 

I'd use a small bit of rubber to support the back and some black electrical tape to secure it if I had no bracket.

 

I've got foam, glue and tape too - so even if it doesn't come with one, I should be able to handyman it.

 

Just make sure it's electrical tape since the ssd is bare pcb

 

If the m.2 ssd blocks out the 2.5 bay, is it not better to just get a regular 2.5" ssd? if you buy the machine without m.2 i mean..? or you don't have a m.2 from before?

Or is m.2 ssd's much faster than 2.5" ssd's??

 

Kaozm, yes, PCIE with 4 lanes can do 10/20Gbit/s and the SATA III can only do 6Gbit/sec.

But, the small form factor of the M.2 SSD can get in the way too, so you want to carefully pick the specific manufacturer/model with the best specifications. More choices are starting to become available, as the PCIE M.2 is also being included in desktop/deskside/workstation motherboards / PCIE M.2 cards.

 

The xp941 will give a nice speed kick

 

So all that's needed is the new SSD inserted in the laptop, and ASUS' proprietary cloning drive software to transfer everything from the HDD to the new SSD?

 

What m.2 stick goes over 600mbps?..

edit: within resonable price..

 

Plextor M6e and samsung xp941.

 

Kaozm, things are popping for M.2 PCIE SSD's, new high capacity 1TB PCIE M.2's are being announced, but for right now, the Samsung XP941 is about the best performance, but not cheap.

This may all change tomorrow, or the next day, so keep looking for new choices, and price drops to come.

Right now, you pay what they are asking, no sales, no discounts, no alternatives...

Since there is only 1 slot in the G751JY for an M.2 PCIE drive, I would want to get a 1TB drive... but there aren't any I can find for sale, yet.

 

Where do you find this software?

 

I will grab one of those two, which one you guys suggest?

 

only samsung XP941 will fit into the G751JY slot, because it is pcie 3.0. Plextor has different slot, it has two grooves and samsung has only one groove, check the pictures

 

Optron, it will work, but it has an x2 interface and only uses 2 lanes of PCIE instead of 4 lanes => x4

That is why it is so much cheaper than the XP941, which has 4 lanes of PCIE - x4

Here is an article in which they ran various combinations of x2/x4 SSDs on x2/x4 sockets.
ASRock Offers Ultra M.2 Gen3 x4 32 Gb/s Socket for Ultimate Transfer Speed | techPowerUp

"The theoretical speed of Ultra M.2 is 32 Gb/s, which is 6X faster than PCIe x1 M.2, and 3X faster than PCIe x2 M.2 (Chart 1). As for Ultra M.2 vs. normal M.2 comparison, we tested the read speed of Samsung XP941 PCIe x4 M.2 SSD on Ultra M.2 socket and reached 1.16 GB/s, 46% faster than PCIe x2 M.2 socket (Chart 2). We also tested a PCIe x2 M.2 SSD on Ultra M.2 socket. Benefited from the direct linkage between Ultra M.2 interface and CPU, the PCIe x2 M.2 SSD read speed on Ultra M.2 socket is 8.8% faster than on normal M.2 socket. As shown in Chart 3, the lower latency of Ultra M.2 design does matter."

Plextor's M6e M.2 2280 PCIe Gen2 x2
http://www.plextoramericas.com/index.php/pcie-ssd/m2/m6e-m2-2280

Overview of M.2 SSDs
http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Overview-of-M-2-SSDs-586/#PCI-Elanecomplications

"The different keys are what indicated the maximum number of PCI-E lanes the socket can use and physically limit what drives can be installed into the socket.. A "B key" can utilize up to two PCI-E lanes while a "M key" can use up to four PCI-E lanes. Right now, however, the majority of M.2 sockets use a "M key" even if the socket only uses two PCI-E lanes. As for the drives, most PCI-E x2 drives are keyed for B+M (so they can work with any socket) and PCI-E x4 drives are keyed just for M. "

 

ZerockX, the XP941 is the fastest, an interface with PCIE x4 - 4 lanes of throughput vs PCIE x2 - 2 lanes of traffic - it's an up to 3x improvement in throughput.

You might want to shop around for the best price, and buy local if you can - even if it is a bit more expensive - as after sale support is easier. Make sure you get the exact return period available, usually 7/14/30 days.

There is only 1 PCIE M.2 slot in the G751JY, that we know of so far, so you will want to get the largest SSD you can afford, and stretch for a 512GB if you can.

Soul, you were talking before that you had a ncix near your home right? Would you mind asking them a few questions if you ever just pass the store by?

 

I heard in G751 with 970m 980m, battery is non removable,is this true?

 

That is correct.

 

So whats the advantage of fixed battery?what if got drained or anything other, have to replace whole machine?

 

I'm carrying the box, it is so heavy! O.O

 

never mind

 

You can take out the battery but it's not easy.Send it in for battery replacement.

 

Take out by screw driver?have anyone have got similar laptop with fixed battery i just need a review

 

So excited ^^

 

Did you got this model?how it sounds?

 

No with a hammer!
Yes I have a laptop with a non-removal battery but I have no reason to remove it.
If that's a priority with you this laptop is not for you.
Why so fixated with removable battery?

 

Because someone was buying that laptop from usa then send to me,& in my region no gaming laptop covers warranty so if battery got problem
the unit is useless for me,nor i can remove the battery & run directly on adapter to save battery life, as its fixed.

 

Fear not - Asus Global Warranty will cover all your troubles pretty much anywere in the world..

 

JY-DH72X is already available in my country, but it is still way too expensive for me.

I'm also from Portugal and the JY model is the one that I m interested!
