Hello guys, just wanting to ask your thoughts on a Western Digital m.2 SSD compared to other brands like Samsung, Cruxial, and Transcend. Though I don't really know what specific SSD I need I just know it's a m.2 SSD and I specifically need a size of 250gb to 500gb. This is for my work-travel laptop.
The laptop is a GL552VX
i7 7thGen
12Gb DDR4 RAM (4gb x 1 | 8gb x 1)
1TB HDD
GTX 950M with 2gb GDDR5
I feel it lacks the enough speed to run my programming and designing tools/softwares. I know I should have bought a laptop that already have 16gb RAM, an SSD, and maybe 4gb+ VRAM but at that moment, I was just in a hurry of buying a good enough laptop so that I can attend a competition the next day. I can sell the laptop but I'm not into selling personal stuff
Also, have anyone done cloning? Or I think that is what you call when transferring your OS from HDD to SSD (one drive to another). Some people told me that it's illegal though I don't know if it's true, if it is then I think it doesn't make any sense...
