Linux Dual Boot Msi Gaming Laptop

I installed into a MSI B450 Gaming Plus and it has sped up boot time.

This machine does everything I need at a great price. I can dual boot Windows and Linux, I can use an external monitor at 144hz through the USB-C port, audio out port is on the left, and getting into the device for upgrades is super easy--adding a second drive was simple. Personally I would prefer a larger keyboard without the 10 key on the side. The monitor is great for the price, but if you want better colors, you'll want to spend more on something else. I keep my chat windows open on the laptop monitor when I'm plugged into an external display, so it's no biggie for me. The WiFi radio it comes with is also a cheap one. Linux had no issues with it, but Windows 11 wouldn't connect to it sometimes. So, I swapped it out for one from Wise Tiger with an Intel AX210 and it works great now! Yes I would buy again and shipping from B&H got here fast!

I bought 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) and working great! :-) My MSI GF65 Thin 10UE-213 laptop is compatible with this 32 GB (2 x 16 RAM). Upgraded RAM to 32 GB (Crucial) from 8 GB (Samsung). Everything are faster and great for gaming! I'm very happy with that! Awesome!!! ;-) Because I look for Crucial RAM on Newegg and Amazon, but both are out of stock. Instead I find one on this B&H Photo Video Pro Audio website and ask live chat - will this work on my MSI laptop? Live chat told yes. It's really helpful to me and I did order it and arrive 2 days (Fedex). I open package and it's right part that what I needed. Each 16 GB have 4 chips on back and front equal 8 chips (2 GB per one chip). Not 16 chips for one 16 GB RAM because we see picture there and that's 64 GB RAM (2 x 32 GB) - one 32 GB RAM have 8 chips on back and front equal 16 chips. That's why picture do sometimes confuse us and people need to know what type item is that. Hope B&H Photo Video Pro Audio staff will fix picture problem to correct picture display. I know MSI gaming laptop will blow all other cheap laptops and very high price of Apple laptops out of it! I'm happy gaming! Thanks so much!!!

I absolutely love this setup. This is my second MSI gaming laptop. I have also owned some other brands of gaming laptops and so far MSI is my new gold standard. This things chews and eats up anything I throw at it. Definitely recommend some good headphones cause it can get pretty loud when playing graphicly intense games but that is a no brainer and to be expected with a gaming laptop. There is nothing I can't play at QHD ultra settings and I am always getting around 60FPS or way higher. Even Cyberpunk. Definitely recommend to anyone with the $. This is a case where you most certainly get what you pay for!

Installed this as the master drive in a new entry level MSI gaming laptop that came with a 256MB M.2 SSD . I'm 60 years old and by no means a gamer. My games are flight simulators. And, being an old geek I prefer to see a hard drive in a box so to speak. The original M.2 drive is still in the laptop as a filing cabinet for my less used junk but I am very happy with the performance of this Crucial drive!

Bought this as an upgrade for my MSI laptop and it works great!

I got this for free when purchasing my MSI GL63 laptop. Can't complain!

I have bought 6 of these and used them for SuSe Linux Enterprise and OS/2 as the boot drive device using raid 1. They all have worked without any problems. The throughput is good but not as fast as not having a raid. I bought a backup controller that can replace an existing one if needed. Easy to configure (once you discover the CRTL-M to enter setup).

Using it with my MSI laptop with a Aja 4kio. Works like a gems.

Have used X8's for over 5 years now, and just picked one up for my new MSI Creator 17 laptop.
