Seeking advice. My SSHD is about to crap out on my ROG gl702. Should I just spend the dough and get a good 2.5 inch SSD? I mean I can get the same SSHD for about $50 but this seagate has crapped out in under a year. Brand recommendations are welcome. I was actually looking at that Samsung 1tb Pro but the $250 EVO model would be an upgrade on what I already have I think. And I may want to upgrade the m.2 SSD which is my boot drive to a larger capacity.

Also, is it worth spending the $400 or so on upgrading my ram from 16gb to 32? IIRC I have to buy a pair of 1x16 so they match. Would be nice if I was wrong. The asus manual says I should be running 2133 MHZ so-dimm but it came with 2400MHZ. Confusing.

Anyways. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks.
