How To Upgrade Your ASUS ROG Xbox Ally Internal Storage

You bought a 1TB SSD for $30 in 2025? Congrats—you’re basically a time traveler who beat inflation.

ASUS ROG Xbox Ally owners, listen up: upgrading your internal storage is stupidly easy. No proprietary screws, no glue traps—just three tiny Phillips screws, four longer ones (one doesn’t fully unscrew—don’t panic), and a gentle pry tool. The real villain? That ribbon cable connecting the screen. Yank it too hard, and you’ll be weeping into your spare controller. (Yes, I speak from experience.)

Disconnect the battery first—yes, really. Don’t be that guy trying to swap drives while the power’s still live. Then pop out the old SSD, slap in your $30 Lexar (or whatever trusted 2280/2230 PCIe drive you’ve hoarded), reattach the ribbon like a nervous librarian handling a first edition, and reboot.

Here’s the magic trick: Hold Volume Down + Power to enter BIOS, fire up Asus Cloud Recovery, and let it reinstall Windows clean. In ~40 minutes, you’ve got a fresh Ally with twice the storage—and zero regrets.

Bonus: You now have more space for games than your ex has excuses. Upgrade wisely. 🎮💾
