I just bought a used Thinkpad X1 with 512Gb SSD for my wife, she wouldn't need the 512gb size, and a 256 would be enough. I also have a Samsung 960 Evo, 250gb as my Games drive on my desktop which is running out of space. Both are NvME, I am NOT sure what brand of SSD is inside the Thinkpad, specs say Read 2800/Write 1600, so I think the Samsung would be faster, but basically a wash.
Question is, is it worth the effort to swap the drives? If so, what's the easiest way to image it from the larger SSD to the smaller one? OR, alternatively I have a Lenovo recovery USB which I could use to re-install the whole thing, would it work on the 256gb SSD or it MUST have the bigger original SSD?
Thanks
