SSD UPRAGE

[Ozyurtuna]

Hello,.

How can I install an SSD to my device? Currently, M.2 SSD 256 GB is installed and it is not enough. Can I install it in these empty areas? Can you send me a link to what I can buy?
Can you make any suggestions for ssd, sata, nvme m.2?

What can I put in the empty space I added in the picture? Currently, 256 GB space is not enough for me
I've seen them in the videos that they plug something into the hard disk side, but what do they plug in?

Hi:

I recommend that you install a larger capacity NVMe SSD (500 GB, 1 TB).

That would be the easiest thing to do.

Otherwise, you will have to find and buy the parts necessary to add a 2.5" drive that are listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual.

(6) Hard drive connector board            L20454-001
(7) Hard drive/solid-state drive cable L20456-001

I would have no idea where you can find those parts.

There will also be no screws included to attach the hard drive connector board.

There is a video for removing and replacing a 2.5" drive.

In the end, it would probably cost you more to add a 2.5" drive than to install a larger capacity NVMe SSD.

So which nvme m.2 ssd do you recommend? I need to get the one that works at what speeds. This second thing you throw away comes at the same price, at least the same price as the m.2 ssd. Which brand and speed of SSD should I buy?

I'd get this one if you can:  500 GB or 1 TB.

If not, get the SN580.  It's Gen 4.0 but it would still work in a Gen 3 SSD slot and is reasonably priced.
