    Hey guys, I was planning to install an SSD into my G53SW-XA1, and I was wondering if the hard drive bracket was the same for all the models?(A1,JW, etc)
    I was looking at this one :
    ASUS Hard Drive Bracket for ASUS G53JW and G53SX series ONLY | eBay
    Only thing thats holding me back is the fact that it says JW and SX ONLY :mad:
    Any help would be appreciated!

    It should work and fit with your SW.

    Yes, those brackets all should be the same for the models mentioned.

    15 USD? Isn't it too expensive?
