Hi Martin, The Asus A Series Notebook A55A supports a SATAIII 2.5-inch 9.5mm drive and the HyperX 3K iss is a SATAIII 2.5-inch 9.5mm drive. As such, it is compatible with that system. Thank you for your interest in the HyperX 3K SSD! -Jewel @ HyperX Technical Support

I can't say for certain if it does or not. But one way you should be able to tell is by checking the pins to see if they match; on your motherboard and on the drive. Most mSATA SSD ports should be compatible with most mSATA SSDs though.

I have found no way to do that. I've searched the forums and no one has attempted this yet. You can upgrade the SSD, but need to get the cover off for that. At the same time, the stock RAM has been just fine for my enterprise computing needs. If you are looking for a hardcore gamer or CAD, then this isn't the machine for you.

It is very unlikely that you could do any kind of cpu upgrade of any significance in most laptops. The main board is only made to work with a small selection of possible processors, and they all will have very similar specs. Due to the space available in the laptop format, the manufacturers only make the boards with the necessary stuff to do just the job they were designed for. Your best bang for the buck would be to max out the RAM usable in the laptop, and switch out the hard drive to use a SSD instead. Those 2 improvements would make it as fast as possible with the existing main board and processor. If you already have 2 gigs of RAM or more, then just go with the SSD drive. Parts and labor to install it and clone over your existing drive would be about $125.00 if you go with a 120 gig drive that is on sale in the $60 range. If that is something you can do then, by all means go that route.

Yes this will work, because the memory slots A & B support up to 4GB per channel, and the motherboard has available 4 channels., which means it can be upgraded up to 16 GB.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: When determining whether or not a processor and motherboard are compatible, you want to look at the socket size. The board specifications will often also list which CPU/APU series are compatible with it (ex: Athlon, A-Series, 4th Gen Core, etc.). In this case, the A8-5500 APU fits into an FM2 socket, which the ASUS A55BM-E has.

Look at the memory compatibility list in the manual and online. The Asus is fussy and just does not work with some memory timings.

Not Sure. You can go on Crucial's website and check eligible upgrades for your laptop.

This is the NP940X5J-K02US (touchscreen) version. It CANNOT be upgraded by adding an additional SSD. The 2nd SSD slot is clearly labeled as such but lacks the soldered socket. Your only option is to replace the original SSD. Shame on Samsung for not including the 2nd SSD socket on this model.

Yes, it is a msata SSD and can be upgraded. You can Google it or go to YouTube and there are videos in how to do it.

If the slot you have is for "mSATA" then this card will work. If it has what is called a "M.2" slot then that requires a different type of SSD card since the connector size is different. Best to refer to your motherboard manual just to be sure since not all motherboards have support for these.

I have a y570 and wanted to swap out the 64gb ssd in it. Were you swapping out an existing ssd?

Pretty straight forward if you have built a PC before. Just need to make absolutely sure you order the right notebook memory and SSD drive that work with it. Happy to help you with that. You also need to know how to load an operating system from a flash drive. scanseattle@gmail.com

SSD drives for notebooks should not be a problem and the will run at uab 3.0 assuming the usb connection is 3.0. There are, I assume, SSD's for servers and specialty applications that would not work. I used Sandisk and it has worked well for almost a year.

I believe so! If you go to Crucial.com, the maker's web site, there is an entry box that lets you select the brand and model of the pc or laptop that you want to upgrade. It will then tell you which memory chips are compatible. Good Luck!

Yes It will, this is a standard Msata ssd, very fast and the capacity is 240gb!

I don't know. I am not an IT expert. I bought the item just like you did and I am having issues with the SSD in my laptop and assured it would work. It first would not read the operating systen after I cloned the SSD. Now it doesn't recognize the drive. I am a little ticked at the seller as I believe they knew there was a compatibility issue and lied to me.
