USB-C external hard drives do not work
I want to give this more stars because it's a great laptop for playing games, but there is one MASSIVE glaring issue that turns this into a bit of a paperweight. The USB-C port situation is broken. I have tried 3 different external SSDs with a whole slew of different cables (very expensive and rated at high power / data output) and none of them will connect and stay connected to this laptop. Soooo... you are limited on what you can do. video editing or streaming? good luck. 1TB will fill up very quick and you can't move the files anywhere else. For such an incredibly expensive machine this feels like a massive MISS on asus's part.
