Question Upgrading a Y530 with an SSD?

[LeSeb]

I'm looking forward to buying a Lenovo Legion Y530 with a 1TB HDD and a 16GB Optane memory. I will need some speed so I'm thinking about buying an SSD for it. I'm not sure about what exactly to do: keep the HDD and the intel memory and just get a 256gb SSD to work with it or just toss out the optane memory.

Any help is appreciated.

I would buy an NVME ssd as a plug in replacement for the intel optane. It will go in the same spot as the optane. You can install windows on the ssd and use the hard drive for mass storage.
Something like an intel 660p 256gb will be a good replacement for the optane.
