    Hi everyone, i recently brought a X550-DH71 and liking it so far but a little underwhelmed by the stock 5400 rpm hardrive, interested in replacing the optical drive with a basic SSD maybe 128 or 256 GB for gaming/commonly used files. can anyone recommend a good SSD that is easy to install and basic instructions? I have never taken a laptop apart before but i heard swapping a SSD for optical drives was fairly easy. thanks
