New SSD, re imaged, now all up to date.

What kind of SSD do I need for my device for expanded storage, is there a specific type?

A 2230 drive (size) and NVME Gen 3 or Gen 4.

The OLED only supports Gen 3 speeds so a Gen 4 is pretty pointless but will work.

SD has arrived and I can tell I'm going to love it.

Any recommendations for a Micro SD card, 1TB minimum? Ta

Decent 1TB SD cards seem really expensive at the moment. Decent as in good brand (Samsung, sandisk etc) and speed (A2)
Right now, 1tb 2230 SSD are cheaper. 2TB 2230 ssd is not a lot more than a good 1tb SD card.

Wouldn't I forfeit the warranty by installing a 2230 SSD? Also, an A2 rated 1TB micro SD is £74.

No. And it is fairly easy to do if you can use a small screwdriver.

Ok, thanks for the info - I'll keep a lookout for a 2TB unit at a decent price.
