NOTE: @ 17:29 I mixed this part up (the taller chips never had pads..., they were just empty). So the "someone" who messed this up was me! Lucky i caught my mistake, by accident, and have remedied
I add a SSD, repaste, new pads to my new One X. Can it match up to my Series X??
No. But it can certainly see MUCH better load times, and better thermals. If you can't find a Series X, or need a companion to your series S. This is the way. This isnt an exhaustive guide, just me doing what i enjoy, and taking you guys along for part of the ride
