Asus RoG Strix Scar G834JYR-R6103W - How many drive bays inside? What is the maximum storage fits?

Asus RoG Strix Scar G834JYR-R6103W

Want to maximise the internal storage.

Getting contradictory answers from Asus technical support in different chats & emails!

My 7 year old Asus RoG G752VY-DH78k (Serial #: G1N0CY01C691045) had a Samsung Evo 850 SSD in its HDD bay for my D Data drive.

I want to reuse it, even though I know it runs at only USB3 speeds. I am getting conflicting answers from Asus chat, email and regions! - will it fit in my Asus RoG Strix Scar G834JYR-R6103W or will it not?

Are there THREE drive bays (?), of any kind, inside the Asus RoG Strix Scar G834JYR-R6103W? 

Could I put two new fast 4TB SSDs into it AND the Samsung Evo 850 as well?

For a total of THREE drives and 10tb of SSD storage inside the machine?

That would be ideal.👍🏻

For the two new 4TB drives:

For the maximum speed, longevity, reliability and compatibility - what brand and retailer would you all recommend?

Thanks for the help.

Much appreciated

The G834JYR has two SSD slots, and the SSD specification is M.2 NVMe™ PCIe® G4x4. 
You can refer to the specifications at the following link:

Since the SSD specifications of your old laptop are SSD P3X4 256GB M2 2280 NVME S, I do not recommend using them in a mixed configuration. 
It is advisable to consider using an external SSD enclosure.

Thank you.

ChsmatGPt with lots of real world evidence + many Asus support staff over the last two days that I can fit two 4tb each Samsung 990 SSDs into my Asus RoG Strix Scar G834JYR-R6103W. Just tonight, for the first time an employee called Fearlene says it can only handle 2tb a slot. What is the truth?

ChatGPT and other Asus colleagues were very convincing with real world examples but I don’t want to but useless expensive products.

I drive to Ciudad del Este, Paraguay 🇵🇾 tomorrow to buy them. Please help asap

thanks , Spence
