    Hello people, is there any difference between the SSDs of the 9550 and 9560 (being faster, etc) or are just exactly the same?
    The idea is to interchange them between the two models and do not "downgrade" the 9560 with the SSD from the 9550.

    The 9560 can come with an SSD from at least 3 different manufacturers (Samsung, LiteOn and Toshiba). The performance of the three varies quite widely. I don't have the 9550, but based on reviews, it comes with an older and slower Samsung model than the Samsung in the 9560 (PM951 vs. PM961). Thus, the answer to your question is that they're not exactly the same, but to figure out the performance difference you need to know exactly which SSD is in which machine.

    My 9550 comes with a Toshiba NVMe 1TB.
