Review: Upgrade SSD for cheap
Microsoft’s Surface Pro X arrived last year and brought to the market the latest ARM-based CPU that works with Windows 10. It promises an all-day battery life, WIFI, and, more importantly, high-speed LTE connectivity with the Nano-SIM or eSIM card onboard.
In our original review, we found that Surface Pro X is one capable detachable notebook, but we didn’t like Microsoft’s Apple-inspired storage pricing. We took the matters in our hands and managed to get 1TB M2 2230 SSD from Kioxia. The 2230 M2 standard in space-constrained and limited to 3cm (1.18 inch), and it is the smallest of M2 standard drives. The fact that one can pack 1TB on it doesn’t seem to amaze us.
Microsoft Surface X Pro starts at $999 + tax in the US with a lousy 128GB storage option. Getting to 256GB already launches the price to $1300, and the only way to officially get 512GB storage is to get the 16GB ram and spend whopping $1800.
In our case, the Kioxia OEM 1TB didn’t have a price tag since it was an OEM device, but 512GB options available in e-tail sell for around 100 ish Euros or 120ish USD. One can imagine that double the storage could cost close to double that.
