Hi EmrahZGN,

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

Lenovo G510 was not released with SSD as specifications for storage from the hardware manual on page 29 only offers SATA HDD and SATA hybrid drives. A SSD was not certified directly by Lenovo but other resellers do offer possible upgrades like Cricial here.

 

Specifications:

Up to 1TB HDD storage [320GB / 500GB / 750GB / 1TB (5400 rpm)]
Or up to 1TB SSHD with integrated 8GB NAND flash 

 

Recommended harddrive are listed in page 87-88 item 17 as most showing SATA HDD 2.5 inch thick and 7mm in length that supports SATA III

 

To check what comes with your machine, you can go to parts look up.

The hardware manual here also decribes how to replace the harddrive on page 39.

 

Similar SSD upgrade discussion here and here but not particular to Samsung 850 EVO.

 

Hope this helps answer your query.

 

Regards
