Hey everyone,

I have an MSI GE70 2pe apache pro, i love it and its my baby but its only got a 128GB SSD, with a 1TB secondary.

The question: what the best size and speed laptop ssd i can get for about £100

thanks

I have no experience with the wd ssd but Samsung are top notch

If you're happy to go second hand, you can probably pick up around 500gb for your budget on classifieds. I saw 1tb go for £125 the other day.

But as above, those Samsungs are great

Great B grade selection in clearance right now

That link doesn't work string, if you shop around you can get a 500gb 850 EVO for £111 or just get a 250gb. Personally I wouldn't go anything but Samsung 5 year warranty and there own software is the best.

If you end up going 250gb might be worth going 860 EVO, it's the new Samsung one and probably cost about £10 more than the 850 EVO. You probably wouldn't see a difference in reality but more lifespan on it.

It's a good idea to look at the laptop specs first. According to which, that laptop can hold 2 x mSata SSDs (which can be raided) and 1 x HDD. So a regular Sata SSD may only fit by replacing the HDD. Vice versa, you may be able to keep the existing mSata SSD (128GB) and add another mSata SSD (250/500GB), along with the 1TB HDD. So make sure before you buy anything.
