Hello, i am looking to replace my ssd in this same exact unit. The only issue is i am not sure of which ssd this has. Here is the one currently installed in the unit as i type (KINGSTON RBUSNS8180S3128GJ ) Can you guys maybe help me figure out what ssd to purchase so i can swap this one out for a new ssd with more storage?
Personally the SSD I’d go for is the WD Black NVMe. These are more or less SanDisk drives since WD owns SanDisk and they’re borrowing the tech so you’re dealing with a proven drive from SanDisk with a different label. This would be my first choice, especially because of how good the price is. Samsung is also a good runner up as well, but I’m not as fond of them after the 840 Linux TRIM issues and the subsequent flash memory problems on the EVO drives. That being said, if you can get a good deal on the 970 PRO, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one. If money is an issue, the 970 EVO is also an excellent drive, but with less warranty then the PRO.
