How to install XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE
- Power down your system and unplug from any power source. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling components.
- Open the computer case or laptop service panel to access the motherboard or compact system board with an M.2 slot.
- Identify an available M.2 slot that supports PCIe NVMe and is compatible with the 2280 length. Some boards share lanes with other devices; consult your motherboard manual if needed.
- Remove the mounting screw from the M.2 standoff or slot area if it is present.
- Align the notch on the GAMMIX S70 BLADE with the key on the M.2 slot and insert the drive at a slight angle (about 30 degrees) until it seats fully.
- Gently press the drive down toward the motherboard and secure it with the mounting screw you removed earlier. Do not overtighten.
- Close the case, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the BIOS/UEFI if prompted and verify that the drive is detected and assigned a bootable priority as needed.
- In your operating system, initialize and format the drive using your preferred file system (NTFS for Windows, APFS or exFAT for macOS/Linux as appropriate). If cloning from an existing drive, use reputable cloning software to migrate data.
- Install the latest firmware update from XPG if available and ensure your motherboard BIOS and NVMe drivers are up to date to maximize Gen4 NVMe performance.
- For optimal longevity and steady performance, consider enabling XMP/Profile settings as appropriate, enabling PCIe Gen4 modes, and following best practices for NVMe storage maintenance.
