Yoga 2 Pro - SSD advice - Model 20266

[yaajcawv]

I was wondering does all yoga pro 2 harddrive slot built to work with all msata harddrive. I'm currently thinking about upgrading my solid state and need a definite answer; not a guessing as I do not want to have to return and pay the differences or mess up the laptop itself:

Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB mSATA 2-Inch SSD (MZ-M5E1T0BW)

If the above solid state does not work, please advise on which drive will work. I needed to upgrade 500gb +.

Hi yaajcawv,

I'm running Yoga 2 Pro (20266) with Windows 10 and correct drivers installed (Setup Guide).
Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SDD mSata with Magician activated has a noticeable increase in performance and lower power consumption.
