Best value 2t. ssd drive for legion go in the UK

[spellcaster]

Hello,

I am still thinking of getting the Legion Go but wanted to know what the best value ssd would be without compromising on performance.

If you need DRAM then the WD SN850X is always a safe choice. If DRAMless is okay then the WD SN770 or the Lexar NM790 would be my next choices followed by the WD SN570 and SN580. This is assuming the Go takes standard 2280 SSDs. If it takes 2240 or 2230 then I dunno.

Hello you can put the 2280 in but you have to remove the inside bits to make room. The 2240 and 2230 fit, I was thinking maybe the

WD Black SN770M at £169.98 but not sure if there are cheaper better alternatives ?​

I wouldn't get a 2280 m2 just because of the hassle the WD black looks like your best option.

Very little choice of 2230 drives and much more expensive than the equivalent 2280. The SN770M does look like the best choice.

I have a Legion GO and also looking to get a 2TB.

The Go uses a 2242 ssd size. It can take 2230 but you need to put a little extension bracket at the end or an extension adapter at the start(careful with this some people have reported slower speeds because it was for a lesser spec or worse for sata m.2 and couldnt use it).
You could put a 2280 with a 90 degree angle but that will be on top of the battery and I am not sure how that will impact the longevity of the battery.

Issue we have atm is there are no proper 2242 2TB ones.
There is a chinese Kingspec that is quite cheap (around £110ish now and used to be cheaper) but that is double sided and of course Lenovo put i think the wifi antenna at that spot so some people reported that they bent the chip a bit when they used the Kingspec SSD. I almost bought it because of it's price but also it does proper gen 4 speeds and quite cooler than the 2230 drives or the horrible VisionTek that they give in America.

I read Corsair is making a 2tb 2242 at some point (they have the 1tb out already) roughly 4800MB reads i think so waiting on that.

Other wise its a 770m from WD (which is a WD740m but for retail).
