Hi everyone,

Just need your opinion first before buying an upgrade for my laptop. Here are the specs and model:
AN515-42-R8HN Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2500U (Quad-Core, up to 2MB L2 Cache, up to 4MB L3 Cache, 2.0GHz to 3.60GHz) Memory: 4GB DDR4 Video Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 560X 4GB GDDR5 Display: 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) LED, IPS Panel Anti-glare, Ultra-slim Design Storage: 1TB HDD 5400rpm Optical Drive: None Keyboard: Backlit Numpad: Yes Wireless Connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Ports: 1x Type-C USB 3.1 Gen1, 1x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0, RJ-45, HDMI, Card Reader, Combo Audio Jack Color: Black Dimensions: 390 x 266 x 26.75 mm (WxDxH) Weight: 2.70 kg Battery: 15.2V 48Wh 4 Cells, 135W Adapter

Just need clarification in SSD type and model on what should be the better device to buy. And also I'm planning set the Operating System on SSD because they said it will remove the 100% disk usage issue in windows 10. I have no idea in SSD and many in my FB group said it should be M.2 and I can still use the 1TB HDD for the secondary drive? Please give me much details advice so that I will not buy the wrong item. Thanks in advance.
