Presumably you'll need the M.2 version.

Yes

Thanks. And what RAM should I add? Which model? I have 8GB and I want 16GB of RAM so I'm adding two of 8GB (changing the one I have so that both are the same) What model do you recommend me?

Crucial MX300 1tb?

That zenbook looks too thin for the standard 2.5inch drive form factor.

[NinJake]

It also looks like they only offer those up to 512gb, with up to 16gb of ddr4 RAM. Do you already have this zenbook or are you still ordering it?

Yeah I just checked, it's M.2 SATA.

So what SATA3 SSD should I take?

The M.2 version of the Samsung 850 Evo, or maybe the M.2 version of the Crucial MX300.

 

The MX300 is a little bit slower, but it's significantly cheaper and has a little more space.

It's not compatible with the 2.5inch ssds. You could buy any of the previously mentioned SSDS, then get an external casing with sata-to-USB and use it through USB

And just remember, since there's probably only 1 M.2 slot, you'll have to try to transfer your data, including your operating system.

How can I do that? And what RAM?

I'm so sorry I confused I have the Zenbook UX410UA. Will it be the same?

It says on the spec listing there, that there is a Sata HDD, so I'm sure if you are willing to open up that laptop you could see where it is and swap an SSD in it's place. I would confirm that you DO indeed have a HDD in there currently.

 

Otherwise go to device manager, look for storage and post the model of your drives you currently have.
