I have a Galaxy Book 6 Ultra and I was looking to maximize storage space with 2 4TB drives. The Crucial T500 looks to be one of the fastest out there and the prices aren't as crazy as say a Samsung 990 Pro. The difference is the T500 uses memory modules on both sides. Has anyone installed a double sided SSD in these thin laptops before and how was it. Anyone have issues with the T500? Is it worth it to spend an extra likely $200 on the 990 Pro, which hits all the require metrics. There's also the 990 EVO Plus for the same price as the T500, and that one is single sided but DRAMless. Would the Evo Plus be a good choice for a Photoshop/Lightroom/Gaming machine? I don't expect to move a lot of large files except high megapixel photos (40MB to 80mb file sizes from a 40MP Fuji Camera).

From someone who has had folds since the 3, if I can give you one piece of advice to keep your inner screen from failing early, it is this. Never, and I mean NEVER, fold the phone by pushing on the screen itself. Grab it by frame at the edges and fold it there by pushing on the frame. Pushing on the screen itself is how people end up with broken screens after 6 months.

The inner screen has a tiny bit of give that allows it to move, so when you push on the screen to fold it, it holds the center in place while the rest of the screen is trying to move and stressing the screen. I cringed as I watched a Youtuber doing case reviews ruin his phone in real-time, as he kept pushing on the screen to show how the case works. Low and behold by the end of the video his screen failed, had some of those green and black lines, and then shut completely off when he didn't stop pushing on the screen after the first failure. It seems really dumb for Samsung themselves not to provide this advice.

Bonus tip: The inner screen protector that comes with the phone will fail eventually, it will look like a bad screen, but it should come off fairly easily, and can be replaced. I've used several of my folds without the inner screen protector for a long time without issue, but places like iFixIt or official Samsung repair places should be able to replace it.

Edit: Here is a video hopefully there is not a problem in this sub with me sharing this, it is not my video, and I am not advertising this person in any way, it was just a good video that got right to the point. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0xJkwGmGey4

Has anyone put a double sided SSD in a Galaxy book without issues?

Lot's of new and returning Fold Users lately. One piece of advice to make your phone last a long time.
