[SOLVED] I want to buy a new ssd for my Asus x509ja-ej028t laptop

[jonivbeek]

Hello everyone. Last couple of days my laptop became laggy and the storage is almost full. Currently I have a WDC PC SN520 SDAPNUW-256G-1202 (SSD) in my laptop. It has a different connector then other SSD's and i can't seem to find a SSD which has a faster read and write speed then i currently have. I also would like a SSD with 1TB storage. Can someone help me with this?

That is a Western Digital SN520.
NVMe drive, of 256GB capacity.

You can certainly go larger, you can't go much faster.


What is your budget for a 1TB?

Yes I have seen this one. But my SSD connector is different. It has a B and M key

And that drive is compatible with the M.

So this Samsung SSD does dit in the same connecter as the WD (see Pictures above)

 

[USAFRet]

Yes.
From Samsung:

---------------------------
Connector M.2 (‘M’ Key) or third party adapter (AIC) for use with PCIe connector
---------------------------

They are both NVMe drives. It will work.

Or, you go with a WD SN750

$130

Either one will work.
