I visited a computer shop and enquired about new SSD with installation in my laptop (as my hdd is dead almost).
He said , he will charge 3-3.5k for simmtronix ssd 500gb with installation and windows.
I asked about crucial he said all are same and every brand offers 2-3 years warranty, i said crucial gives 5 year.
He said , jo available hogi lga denge (par shayad uske pass simmtronix he hai).
I asked ,what if i bring my own ssd crucial then how much will be the charges, he said laptop pura kholna padega so 1k he will charge.
Now m left with few queries:
1- if i purchase my own ssd it will cost me around 2800 online + installation 1k costs me total 4k (round figure) for 500gb.
2- if i go with him, he will take 3-3.5k and install simmtronix(no reviews so far).
3- buy online and try to self install(risky but eill save some bucks).
What are your views on this?

Ssd installation is easy. Search on youtube for tutorial to install on your laptop.
Plus buy https://amzn.eu/d/j...gg this to use your current hard disk in cd slot as extra storage. As for ssd, you can buy kingston or crucial or wd whichever is cheaper, they will all work the same and no issues in any of them. Dm if you need more help. Ps - 3.3k is not that high for the convince you will be getting, because replace krna, windows install karna vagera ka jhanjhat sab nahi lena prefer krte. But make sure he is installing a trusted brand ssd

Personally i wouldn't buy it. They are bulk sellers so shopkeepers get them for lot cheaper. And there arent any decent reviews on any sizes.
Ek kaam karo, 240 gb hi lelo to run the windows on, and for storage, convert old cd slot into hard disk port and use the current hdd. Install karna first time 2 ghante ka kaam hai, himmat kar lo

Based on the quoted rate, it appears you require a 2.5" SATA SSD which costs Rs. 2800 for Crucial, 3100 for WD (5 Year warranty, read speed 560 MBPs).
Simmtronics has 3-year warranty. Crucial 3 year warranty model costs Rs. 2400
Authorized service centres charge Rs. 700 for installation of new SSD, but don't install Windows.

Sata drive jo marzi lelo, you cant tell the difference in normal use. Its your choice if you want to go with mx. But main point here is, installation is easy and can be done by you. If you have cd slot, you can make that hdd slot and use extra storage. And vo simmtronics wali rehne do. And make a flash drive to install windows before you start the operation (directly microsoft ki site se 8gb pendrive me flashable file download ho jaati hai)

R558 and X556 were entry level notebooks of vivobook series from asus with i5/i7 6th and 7th gen Processors and no they didn't include any m.2 slot except for the WiFi card one.
