Id love to go SSD but even 256 gig, is just meeting the lower limit. Also opening up my laptop again scares me, broke a huge sweat putting paste on the CPU.

Get a 128 or 256Gb M.2 then just a 512Gb 2.5" and you're near the 1tb that came with it only it'll be actually FAST

I have a samsung 840pro 256gb and an Intel 520 series 256gb currently but I'm considering ordering a nice big m.2 drive. I can't find ANY valid information comparing the speeds so I really don't know which drive I'd want to use as the boot/primary

From what i read on the webs I may or may not have the the m.2 slot on my y510p. Will I have to open it up to find out?

They will both fit in the internal bay? Can I add on the M.2 to the existing drive? I did not see extra SATA ports when I opened up my y510p

M.2 drive has it's own special slot. Before you try to be an internet smart guy you should actually READ what a person is telling you. I never said anything about using additional SATA. M.2

Yes, I googled it after I posted. My bad. You sound confident the slot will be there?

You need to check if your y510p has a ssd slot, as there are rumours of some y510p's not having the ssd slot. Mine does have the slot.

I just gave my wife my Y510p (GT755m SLI) and put a Corsair ForceGT 240GB I got as a refurb from MicroCenter in. I loaded Win7 Pro (we have much hate for 8), and I put the 1GB hybrid Seagate in my new (to me) Y580. The Corsair screams in the Y510p and I had no issues installing and configuring it (in Legacy mode of course).

I have the lenovo y510p.

Boot times are not its best point.

What are people's recommendations on a good ssd?

Thanks!

Lets say you have files. You also have the need for speed. Nothing like good overkill: Amazon.com: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE1T0BW: Computers & Accessories
