Can anyone recommend a 4TB NVMe upgrade that would offer the best bang for the buck to upgrade from the supplied 1TB drive that came with the GTR7 PRO?


My plan is to firstly clone the existing drive to a 4TB drive in slot 2, then swap them over and eventually buy a second 4TB drive when I can afford it. Is Macrium still the best way to do this?

The download installed a new copy then converted it to Pro. I always prefer a new copy. I left the new drive alone in there and installed the new copy, then copied what I needed from the original drive via an external NVMe drive case.

Just my 2 cents the SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 4TB: MZ-V9P4T0B/AM works great.

I have a SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 2TB: MZ-V9P2T0B/AM as C:
              SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 4TB:MZ-V9P4T0B/AM as D:

So far they a working great in the GTR 7 Pro at full speed.

I subberd out a "SABRENT Rocket Q 2TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/3000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-2TB)" NVMe drive and pushed the included drive to the second M.2 slot. I resinstalled the OS with the download sent to me by Beelink's excellent help desk, and never looked back. Wow, it's fast.

Cheers - did the download just install a new copy of windows, or copy your OS from the original drive?
