[SOLVED] Upgrading GeoBook3X storage

[FPRS]

Hi all,

I have the GeoBook3X laptop (Here's the link to the laptop) and I want to upgrade the storage as it only has 32 GB of storage (EMMC). It has a SD card and SSD slot. Currently I'm using a SD card, issue is that it won't let me put the OS on it. There isn't enough storage space on the EMMC to hold windows updates. So I want to use a SSD so I can have enough storage for the OS (also comes with other benefits such as faster storage).

On the laptop tech specs (link provided above) it says it supports a SSD expansion of "m.dot2280". What does that mean? Which SSDs are compatible? Thanks!

You're going to have to ask them what "m.dot2280" means.
That is not any standard notation. I think there is a translation error. M.2 2280 would be more correct.

Yes you are right; it's m.2 2280; I just checked with them.

Also, you'll have to ask which type of "M.2" - SATA III or NVMe, or both.

 

[FPRS]

They wrote SATA.

They wrote SATA.

OK then.

Samsung 860 EVO or Crucial MX500 would be the default choices.
Both available in M.2 2280

What about the Western Digital WDS500G2B0B WD Blue?
