that's a lot of SSDs :ok:
I am just going to replace it with a 2TB spinner. Generates less heat I think and I do not need to do HDD performance demanding tasks on this laptop. It is just for...

Yeah, one 50x50mm pad would not be enough. When you are going to reposition heat pipe back after repasting, put it down very slowly, orienting yourself by 8 screw holes. It's very simple as long as...
