What are some compatible SSD's for my HP Envy M6 ae151dx?

I'm looking for a possible upgrade for my laptop with a SSD. I think laptops are usually 2.5in.

Hello NeHCirE,

Thank you for your interest on our Intel Solid State Drives.I've checked the Product Specifications provided by HP®, and I see that your current drive has a 1TB capacity. The only 2.5" SATA model that would be an identical match would be the https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-540s-series.html Intel® SSD 540s Series. However, all of our consumer drives except for the Intel® SSD 600p and the Intel® SSD 750 Series have compatible 2.5" SATA versions that you could use on your laptop. (https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/consumer-family.html Full list of our Intel® SSD Consumer Models)If you have any additional questions, or would like us to clarify anything else, please don't hesitate to ask.Best regards,Carlos A.

Are there college discounts? It's fine if there is none.

I'm thinking about the Intel SSD 540s Series (480GB, 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s, 16mm, TLC) or the 1TB one. 480GB is about $150 and 1TB is about $280

Question: What is TLC?

NeHCirE,

We don't sell these products directly, so discounts would be up to the individual reseller. You can check out our http://locate.intel.com/ locate.intel.com website for a complete list of retail stores in your area.TLC stands for "Triple Level Cell" and it refers to the NAND flash memory type used in the SSD. Other drives may use SLC (single level cell), MLC (multi-level cell), TLC, and 3D NAND, among others. Each has their own benefits, and is usually marketed accordingly, mostly based on endurance and intended use (consumer vs enterprise type thing).Best regards,Carlos A.

One last thing before I mark this question answered.

Is there a reliable website where I can get the SSDs from? Thanks.

Disabling Disk Defragment Tool to extend lifespan of drive.

And I use the "fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify" to set the number to 0 to enable TRIM.

I learned this today in PC Maint. and Repair at school.
