You probably should’ve unplugged the battery too, just as a safety precaution before touching the hard drive
There are two spots where the battery can be disabled but given that Razer only warns about turning the unit off I doubt the battery charge will be any risk. If this was an intensive repair or replacement I would consider it a little more, but for such a quick swap it might be excessive.
How much faster is the razer blade stealth with the samsumg nvme m2? Can you see or feel a difference? Would you suggest it?
I can’t tell the difference, loading up games or applications it’s all the same speed, but I did not do a speed test beforehand to be 100% accurate. I also run linux so there might be a slight performance gain from that. I would include better photos of the SSD for you but I moved a few months ago and it’s still somewhere in a box.
Were there any “pre-packaged” programs that you had trouble installing or anything special programs need to run the laptop?
