Need to use a modded Ryzen Master for OC though.
WTF. I really wish they could get hard drives and the connections all on some universal configuration. I know, pipe dream, especially with all the different requirements for each.
Its 2020, why can't someone figure it out?
I mean I could replace the HDD with a 500GB SSD I have laying around, but the extra storage is nice, and the PM981 is pretty cheap so it's not a huge hit to my wallet.
Not to mention it's tax return season so I might get like 900$ soon from the gov't after I apply for every benefit imaginable
Don't mind paying for my own upgrades, Lenovo would have charged me 300$ for an OEM SSD which would probably end up being slower anyway, and it was like 400$ for the RAM upgrade as well (unless I got 2x8GB which would be the same price but I wanna have 32GB just to say I have 32GB and flex on all the other kids at school
)I'm glad Thinkpads are relatively open-source for upgrades. Their hardware manuals walk through any possible upgrade really, and there's enough community support if you basically want the f*** schematics LMAO. Might even coreboot if I can port it over and figure out which pins to short.
