Storage Solutions Need to replace SSD on ASUS X555UB Laptop

[CeDrIc]

The current HDD on my laptop ASUS X555UB seems to be running very slow, and I'm looking to replace it with SSD.

How do I find out the dimensions/model of SSD that can fit in & replace the current HDD.

I'd be buying SSD from USA, please recommend any good SSD's as well.

Thanks.

Any SSD will fit - SATA III, 7mm SSD.

Ideally, get a Samsung EVO 860 500GB - selling for roughly 10K less CB or the 250GB, 6K less CB.

Thanks @vivek.krishnan .

How to confirm that 7mm would fit in?

Usually, the standard HDD is 7-9mm, hence the 7mm SSDs will fit for sure.

@vivek.krishnan This should work for the laptop right? Getting 1 TB EVO 860 at 128$.

Yes. Opt for the SATA version, not the M.2 one.
