How we fix your ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18
We check the drive's health first. If it still works, we clone it to the new SSD so everything is exactly as you left it.
If the old drive has failed, we fit the new SSD, install your operating system, and recover what we can from the old drive. Most ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 models take a standard M.2 SSD, and we'll confirm yours before ordering.
How long it takes
SSD replacements and upgrades are usually finished the same day or the next day.
Good to know: Keep at least 15% of your drive free. A nearly full SSD slows down and wears out faster.
