So I've got a new mid-range gaming laptop; a Lenovo Legion Y530. Current specs:
Processor: Intel i7-8750Ha
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050i
Memory: Single stick of 8-gig DDR 4 at 2666mhz
Hard Drive (Primary): 7200 rpm 1tb
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-Bit
And overall performance is outstanding for my tasks, with every game I can throw at it getting at or near 60 frames a second in 1080p with, at worst, a mix of high and medium settings, all high in most cases.
But the hard drive is a bit of a bottle neck and I occasionally see my disk access peg out at 100% for some noticeable period of time.
So long story short I want to add an SSD.
The motherboard has an open M.2 2280 PCie 3.0 x 4 slot. Lenovo actually offers an SSD option (the factory one is a Samsung PM961 Polaris 128GB from what I can gather, I just didn't opt for it when buying mine at the time) and the whole process looks little more difficult then adding a stick of RAM.
Bare minimum I want to be able to fit the full Windows 10 installation, the page file, and assorted frippery on the SSD. Ideally I'd like enough room left over to install Steam and at least a couple of triple-A sized games. A 256 drive will probably be under the 100 dollar (ballpark) budget I'm leaning toward.
Anyone done this and can speak to any hangups I might hit on the way?
