    Hello!

    I'm looking for an upgrade for my 128GB SSD, so i wanted to know if this M.2 SSD works on the 2014 Razer Blade:

    Crucial MX300 525GB M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (CT525MX300SSD4)

    I've installed one of those (1tb version tho) in my 2015 and it works just fine, 550 r/w avrg, just awesome for a m.2 msata.

    2014 and 2015 models are compatible with same drives, so you should be fine with it.

    Other options I checked (was looking for 1tb tho) were the SanDisk x400 and those overpriced Samsung devices (can't even recall names, OEM models tho) which offer same iops as said drives, so I have no clue why they sell for that much.

    I see, thank you!

    I was worried because the person answering questions in Amazon said it was not compatible with the 2014 Razer Blade.
