Looking to install a new ssd

[peddintikartik]

I want to install a new m.2 SATA 3 ssd on my laptop but the manual says that TLC is supported can I install a SLC?

You aren't going to find a "new" SLC SSD any more. They haven't been sold in several years.

Any M.2 SATA SSD that will physically fit will work just fine.

Kanewolf I accidentally downvoted your answer I was playing around with the web site but on amazon I am only finding SLC based m.2 ssds

Do you mean SLC or a SSD with a SLC buffer.

SLC SSD's are going to be around 3x+ more expensive than a TLC SSD at the same capacity.
So a 512GB TLC SSD @ $130, would be $390+ for a SLC 512GB

WD Green 120GB SATA III M.2 Internal SSD (WDS120G1G0B) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01M2WYNP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_...
This is what i am considering please tell me whether it is an slc buffet or slc.Its written slc caching in the description thanks for the reply

That is exactly what @Snipergod87 said. It is an SLC CACHE on the drive. I will say a 120GB disk for the OS is too small any more. You have to spend too much time managing storage on your C: drive. Save some more and get a 240GB then you won't have to watch it all the time.

Thanks @kanewolf and @sinpergod will buy a 240gig

My 2 Cents I would choose this drive.

But i have no idea if that is overpriced

Yes @snipergod I am looking to buy he same and thanks for the advice but I think it’s a little bit overpriced INR 8100 is USD 118.56

The reason I wanted to install an ssd is

My config:
Cpu:i7-8550U
Ram:8gigs,2400mhz
Gpu:940mx gets the job done
Hdd:a 2TB (5400 rpm)
The hdd is a bottle neck for the speeds so that is the reason I wanted an ssd
