Paid for new laptop yesterday, but since then found out about M.2 SSD. Started with a SATA 1TB EVO 850 SSD and 1TB Hybrid (as below specs), but now changed to 2 x M.2 512GB SSD and kept the 1TB Hybrid Hard disk as backup. At one point I had 256GB M2.SSD and 1TB SATA EVO 850 SSD and 1TB hybrid but I might as well go all in with M.2.
My current laptop has a 250GB SSD and 750GB Hybrid and have only had to delete a few things after 3 years. I think I have made the right decision going 1TB M.2 and 1TB Hybrid as backup?
Went for 32G of ram as it was only £50 more than 16 Gig.
