[Shopping Mountains] Purchase of "Surface Pro 8".Replace SSD and achieve 1TB at a reasonable price -PC Watch

Core i7/Memory 16GB/SSD 256GB is "relatively" cheap

　The specifications I want are Core i7/Memory 16GB/SSD 1TB, the price is 281,380 yen (hereinafter, the price before the discount), and the keyboard cover exceeds 300,000 yen.However, as if you are readers of PC Watch, you can use a remove type SSD after "Surface Pro X" and "Surface Pro 7+", just opening the storage panel on the back, M.2 2230.SSD can be replaced.

　The SSD of M.2 2230 was sold on Amazon in Japan for "Surface Pro X", but if you look it up on ebay, it is called "New WD WD 1TB SN530 2230 NVME PCIE SSD CH UPGRADE SURFACE LAPTOP 3 4 Go PROX PRO7+".It was found that it could be purchased for a total name of $ 198.47 (23,628 yen) (at the time of purchase).

　In other words, if the Core i7/memory 16GB/SSD 1TB model is 281,380 yen, if the 1TB SSD (23,628 yen) is replaced with Core i7/memory 16GB/SSD 256GB (215,380 yen), the total is total.You can get 42,372 yen at a low price of 239,008 yen.Well, it is still higher than other manufacturers, but I decided to buy Surface Pro 8, replacement SSD, and keyboard cover around 23:30 just before going to bed.

　As described later, the "Western Digital Ch SN530 NVME SSD 1TB" I purchased was limited to 867GB.If this is a problem, we recommend that you look for other SSDs.

　In addition, there is another thing I want to alert me here.At the time of writing the article, the "Microsoft Surface warranty and service plan" includes "Surface Pro X and Surface Pro 7+, but SSDs cannot be removed by users, but skilled technicians remove them according to Microsoft's instructions.You can, but there is no mention of Surface Pro 8.On the other hand, the "technical specification" of "Surface Pro 8" states "SSD (removable solid state drive)".

　I contacted Microsoft's public relations, but did not get a definitive information on the guarantee when the SSD was replaced.If SSD is replaced, you may not be able to receive a normal product warranty.If you want to replace it, please understand the risk and do it at your own risk.
