External SSD for HP Omen 15-ce004na

[FurnissMax]

Hi,

I am interested in buying an external SSD for my Omen 15-ce004na and was wondering which one I could buy. I was looking at a price range of £50-£70, and was hoping for the fastest read/write speeds possible. Would this work:

Thanks

Hi,

Probably one of the best on the market is the Samsung T5

I see one hear which costs a little more than the one you linked however has twice the capacity and much faster

What Read/Write speeds could I achieve on my laptop with this SSD? I just did a test on my current HDD and got 112.2 MB/s read and 106.1 MB/s Write. How much faster would this SSD be?

I guess it depends on what kind of files are being transfered, Withe 3.1 gen1 port being used you should get max 450MB/s

Take a look at some of the reviews online.

Naturally, you could upgrade the drives inside your PC.

You could insert an M2 PCIe NVMe SSD drive in the notebook which will be much faster than any external drive.

Let me know,

Unfortunately this is not an option for me because a couple of the screws in the bottom of my laptop are broken and I haven’t found any way to remove them. If you have any suggestions they will be massively appreciated. 

Thanks

Can you post a closeup picture of the broken screws?

If you bring to your local smartphone/computer shop they will be able to remove them.  They can create a new grip on the head or even drill them out.

In worse case scenario you could even replace the base enclosure.
