Critical Mechanical Clearance Warning

STRICT WARNING: Clearance is only 2.20mm. Double-sided SSDs (like Kingston KC3000, WD SN850X 4TB, or Corsair MP600 Pro) will press tightly against the CNC bottom plate or motherboard circuit traces. Strictly install single-sided M.2 drives.

Heatsink Interference Rule:No room for heatsinks. Use the factory pre-installed thermal pad and graphite shield.

Detailed M.2 Bay Breakdown for ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024 GA403)

Slot #1M.2 2280
  • Interface & Protocol:PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe
  • Underside Max Clearance:≤2.2mm
  • PCB Layer Requirement:Single-Sided Only
  • Verified Max Capacity:4TB (Single-Sided Only)

Single M.2 slot only. There is NO secondary M.2 slot in the 2024 G14. Must replace existing boot drive to expand storage.

Because the 2024 G14 only features one M.2 slot, upgrading storage requires either cloning your existing drive using an external USB NVMe enclosure or performing a fresh Windows installation.
