Guess Samsung is on the do not buy list like Adata and WD/SanDisk. I'll stick to Intel for for SSDs with PCs, since I've always been happy with Intel. If the chip swap was similar to the original and was neutral in terms of performance then I'd say no harm no foul. As far as the WD SSDs go, they are okay but that's because of SanDisk - and even then, the WD SN730 in my 7490 (i5 8th gen - 8300U/TPM 2.0) has meh performance - I know it can do better with the CPU core count (4C/8T=4 physical, 4 virtual) since I’ve seen how the 7600p Pro (lacks the suicide bit AFAIK, due to the use of a Silicon Motion controller) wakes up a i5-6200U 2C/4T laptop. I’m not impressed with the SN730, but also not disappointed to the point I want to change it for a Intel SSD at this time. About the only thing I don’t hate about it is the fact it has a controller that doesn’t run at 69C+ with mild reads where you’re writing data to another SSD (I’m looking at you, SK Hynix BC511). I’ve seen those BC511 drives run hot in other Dells...

I went ahead and took care of it for you, but see the marker on where I did it, and what I picked.

Part of it for me at least is popularity. I've actually tried to make Linux guides before and they do not get the traffic a normal guide gets, if that makes sense - to an extent it IS expected since it’s a weird thing only people who know computers really use, but it’s really low interest in some cases. For me I've come to accept it just isn't a high view subject so I choose not to cover it outside of maybe an exceptional circumstance where the views to work ratio make sense. That being said there's a chance with Win11 people with somewhat recent laptops from the 4/5th generation with Intel (AMD equivalent as well) - which are still older, but they're not unusable which will never get a shot at running Win11 may be given consideration as future Linux boxes - to be blunt, a lot of these are eWaste which is walking on thin ice like my Lat E7440 (4th gen HSW*/TPM 1.2 - NO 2.0 UPGRADE OPTION/DDR3L) so a lot of these are scrap once they croak in a expensive way. I’m still going to keep my E7440 alive until the...

I usually don't cite internet photos, generally. Yes copyright is real but most of the time I can avoid it, or reference my own photo if I have it - See here for a photo set I took for the OP. HOWEVER if someone mentioned it I'll credit them but if it doesn't come up, then I'll leave it be. On the other hand if you come at me like @danj yeah no, you aren't getting anything from me. If you want me to take you seriously don't treat me like a thief. Issue yourself credit because I'm not adding anything or removing any alterations. It comes down to respect for me - you want to treat the other party with respect because if you don't, then I have no reason (or very little) to sort it out. I didn't know or you waited years to come forward, so you can't go in charged like I knew it was an issue.
