Question What M.2 type SSD should I buy?

[edddyyysss]

Hi there,

My current laptop model/name - ASUS Rog GL702VT

If my research is correct this laptop has NVME PCLE SSD slot.

I am looking to buy M.2. type SSD.

My question is, what brand (Samsung, Kingston, etc.) should I get? Also, I am not sure if I should take out current HDD (which is slow) and use it as an external drive only.

What are your suggestions?

Regards,
E

There is no perceivable speed difference between the 970 EVO and the 970 EVO PLUS.

The PLUS is just the next iteration in that same model line.

There are two models:

SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS 500GB M.2 PCIE MZ-V7S500BW (€121.99 or $136)

and

SAMSUNG 970 EVO 500GB M.2 PCIE MZ-V7E500BW (€129.00 or $143)


If am correct the only difference is speed right?


@USAFRet for me 500GB will be enough. Most of the time I use my laptop for web browsing, some software, file transfer.. it's gaming laptop though, but I don't game.

And the model for the laptop is "GL702VT" and based on the website https://rog.asus.com/articles/guides/upgrade-guide-rog-strix-gl702/ it explains that it has 'M.2 SSD' slot. I haven't opened the case but hopefully there is M.2 slot.

Go for the cheaper one, both are fine.
