    If you have any disks up to about PLN 500, which you can recommend, write.
    And I have a question whether these drives work with this laptop and whether there is no problem with speeds, because I read something that this laptop limits to 1600mb / s, but I did not find confirmation I am looking for it here :D

    Hello,

    I recommend Samsung EVO. I have 500GB and it's great. And by the way I also have a Samsung EVO SSD also 500GB SATA which together gives 1000GB in E130 with a 12 "matrix.

    Hello,

    I didn't notice much difference between SATA EVO SSD and M2 EVO SSD. They work at almost the same speed. And the file transfer between SATA and M2 drives is 460-500 Mb / s (mega bytes). 1.3 Gb file copied after about 3 seconds.

    A colleague above reported NVMe drives (on the protocol) and these are much more efficient and have less latency (bypass the chipset).

    850 EVO on the SATA (2.5 ") or M.2 connector will have almost the same performance
