Alternatively you can opt for online sellers at garage sales.

Usually the box or ssd label have firmware version info. You can also use crystal diskinfo to get the firmware version.

You can download new firmware from goplextor.com. The update procedure is simple, and is normally non-destructive. For safety's sake, just do a data backup first. Create a usb bootable with the iso via rufus/pendrivelinux tool and use it to boot and apply the update.

The need to update the firmware depends on issues on the current firmware. it's optional if your drive works well.

Hi everyone here, i need some suggestions, noobie here...
Im using lenovo y510p, im looking forward to add 1 ssd into my laptop.
It now has 1tb hdd on the board and a m.2(ngff) slot,
1) If i buy a normal 2.5" ssd to replace the hdd inside, n shift the hdd to my ultrabay (with the purchase of hdd caddy), will the warranty get voided? do i have to reformat my windows if i were to use the ssd as my windows boot up drive?
2) if i buy a m.2(ngff) ssd n slot it in, could it be the windows boot up drive or only act as a storage drive?

Budget is kinda limited, i saw m.2(ngff) ssd is so expensive, it is like 3x the price of normal 2.5' ssd sad.gif

*extra question, when i just starting up my windows 8.1 laptop (or sometimes randomly), the disk usage get 100% for like 5-10minutes, why is it like this? is it that i torrent too much n hurt the hdd? sad.gif

majority ssd will be fit on any lappy. performance more or less the same. if u wanna buy samsung just go for PRO instead EVO.

i'm using 32GB Samsung EVO on S3. cool2.gif my ssd is bundle with GPU together so no much choice.

yes. just checked your mobo manual (i took a look at h71m-dgs; couldn't find h71-dgs at asrock website), the mobo has only sata2 ports. there is no sata3 ports.

from your diskmark test, your ssd is actually running at full sata2 speed. that's nothing wrong with it.

How to look st the test speed? The first row result is the most important?
