Hello everyone,
I have a Lenovo Y50-70 2016 edition which comes with a hybrid drive preinstalled (1TB HDD + 8GB SSD) but it sorta sucks! it basically has a speed of a normal HDD drive, so I decided to upgrade to a SSD drive instead of the potato one, I searched the web and watched some videos about this matter and finally chose my SSD drive, I have two choices:
1. Western Digital BLUE WDS100T1B0A SSD Drive - 1TB
2. Samsung 850 Evo SSD Drive - 1TB
so I checked their specs and saw the WD is slightly faster than the other one from Samsung but Samsung was advertised to have some sorta "impact protection", and WD doesn't. I thought my self since I have a laptop it makes more sense to go for the Samsung but then I came across a question:
Does that "Impact protection" matter? Can WD survive possible drops from 3 feet or
so?
and I read somewhere that some laptops don't accept some SSDs, I saw on Youtube that the one from Samsung was installed and worked perfectly, but found nothing about WD, is it potentially because my laptop can't accept WD? Which one do you think suits my laptop best? I really can't decide what's better for a laptop such as mine.
Thanks in advance, Aaron
