How To Install An M.2 MSATA SSD In A Laptop - Kingston SUV500 vs HDD Speed Comparison - Stone NT310

In this video I guide you through the process of installing the Kingston SUV500 M.2 MSATA SSD drive in a Stone branded laptop. We also compare the startup and transfer speeds of the new SSD versus the mechanical hard drive.

The laptop shown in this video is a Stone NT310-H with the model number W550SU1.
Clevo and Stone laptops are basically the same - so this video steps should apply to both brands.
This process will be very similar for most other laptop brands as well as the M.2 slot is generally in an easily accessible location underneath.

I am upgrading this laptop to an SSD in order to deliver better performance and make the machine a lot faster in general. I chose to also reformat the hard drive and use this as a second drive for file storage. You could remove this if you wanted to, or do as I did and use it for more internal storage.

This is my third and final video installment on the upgrades I have performed to this laptop.
I have already created videos doing a BIOS update for this laptop here: https://youtu.be/h18xzDUpO20
Plus another video doing an Intel Celeron to Core i5 processor upgrade here: https://youtu.be/CfYOLRqOkHo
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- The laptop you are going to be installing the SSD into
- The new SSD you want to install in your laptop (Kingston SUV500 240GB in my case)
- A small Philips / Pozi / cross head screwdriver to remove the bottom cover
- Preferably the latest BIOS update installed for your laptop (optional)
The drive speed benchmark software shown in this video is Crystal Disk Mark.

All laptops do vary and you probably won't be able to copy this video exactly unless you happen to have an identical laptop of the same model. It should very much aid as an overview of the basic process however for any laptop make and model.
