Title: New Harddrive
Post by: Crassus on February 16, 2015, 02:57:49 pm

Hey guys
Having this laptop: ASUS K551LB
I'm currently shopping for a SSD Harddrive but I don't know if that will fit my current. I suck at hardware and therefor I am kindly asking you guys for help.

Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E250 250 GB - The one that I want to order.

Opened my laptop today and it looked like this:

It won't fit but it looks like that laptop already has a mSATA SSD installed. You need to be looking at a mSATA drive with the proper dimensions.

I don't know for sure but it seems like the drive is a bit too long to fit the screw holes.

I prefer the Samsung 840 series, over the 850. I owned many solid state drives myself, and in my opinion the Samsung 840 series are working the best. Especially the price-quality rate is quite good.
