Question How can I replace one of the hard drives MSI GE75 Raider 2020

[jorge_medion]

Hello

This is the laptop I use for casual gaming and travelling:

MSI GE75 Raider 2020

CPU: Intel Core i7 10750H
RAM: 32 GB DDR4
Hard Drives (stock): 500 GB SSD NVMe + 1 TB 5400 rpm
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 Super

It works perfectly fine, no problem at all. I recently cleaned it and added thermal paste to the CPU, also I added an extra SSD NVMe done by tech professionals so hard drives are now:

Hard Drives (stock): 500 GB SSD NVMe + 1 TB 5400 rpm + 1 TB SSD NVMe

I realized I need more SSD space so I am willing to spend money in more storage. The hard drive 1 TB 5400 rpm is terrible and I cannot play almost any game there as is very slow, making this drive almost useless for me. I have it almost free right now.

So I want to replace the 1 TB 5400 rpm by a better hard drive, preferably SSD and Im thinking 1 TB or even 2 TB. But how I know which hard drive I can use to replace it? This is my laptop model: MSI GE75 Raider 10SFS.

Any 2.5" SATA III SSD will work as a direct drop in replacement for that HDD.

SATA III SSD you mean a model such as Samsung 870 EVO? Great, I see 4 TB is too expensive, maybe I can try lower but I do not need much storage capacity, mainly get rid of that hard drive, is very slow and I can´t find any use for it other than opening Excel, doc and pdf files...

Exactly.
Maybe the 2TB version?

Or possibly the Crucial MX500.
