Installing ZorinOS and upgrading my old laptop.
The biggest performance upgrade IMO is replacing the HDD with a SSD. Watch out for cheap SSDs though, they likely will not have a DRAM cache, the unbranded or obscure branded ones particulary. Personally I'd always go for a known performance brand with a DRAM cache, e.g. Samsung 870 EVO or WD Blue S

So long Crucial... thanks for the fishes
Depends on the workload; we don't have a lot of workloads left that call for 2.5" SATA, but (as a business) we'll pay extra now for Kingston DC600 and Solidigm (Intel) D3-series. For actual consumer, WD Blue SA510 is generally okay unless we stumble on an infrequent sale with the WD RED SA500.

Did I screw myself with this WD Blue drive?
The 2TB SA510 uses a different(better) controller and is a better drive than the lower capacity SA510 drives. The lower capacities uses a WD controller that was pretty bad. WD literally used the controller on just the WD Blue SSDs and then abandoned it...I wonder why... The 2TB version uses a Silico

SSD NO XBOX ONE
Troquei no meu Xbox one S e posso dizer que melhorou muito. O sistema ficou mais esperto e o loading de games ficou mais rápido. Ė um WD BLUE SA510 de 500GB

Which ssd is this and what can I replace it with?
This is a 2280 "style" SSD With an M.2 SATA (B+M) key These ones should be a decent upgrade. However due to the ongoing supply-chain issues involving RAM, CPU/GPU Dies, and Storage be prepared to pay a premium. https://shop.sandisk.com/products/ssd/internal-ssd/wd-blue-sa510-sata-m-2-ssd?sku=WDS250G
