I have a asus tuf fx504GD. Im considering a upgrade to it. I am wondering if I should replace the firecuda HDD 1 TB with samsung ssd 500gb. ///// OR////// Keep the Hdd and add PCIe M.2 SSD most likely WD blue.

Basicly which is better? 2.5 ssd or m.2 pcie???

I would add an M.2 SSD if your system supports it, and then eventually replace the HDD with a SATA SSD further down the road.

Hey so I made a trip to bestbuy. Got home and took the laptop apart. Just before I open the package I just wanted to confirm I made the right purchase. I have 2 pictures attached. The pcie port I’m using is just between the HDD and the battery correct? Thanks for the help. Also it came to $101 Canadian tax’s in. Good/decent deal or not?
