Check your caddy for any "hidden switch" inside the frame. There is a chance that this issue is related to some odd combination of caddy sata circuit incompatibility with optical drive sata port in your laptop. In fact try with the ssd in that caddy & if no issues then let it remain there. Most likely both ports are sata 3(at least they are in my 4th gen i3 laptop) so no difference in using ssd in original hdd place or in optical drive caddy.

+1. I was looking for such optical drive caddy online. Most of the products state that there is a slide switch to select some kind of connection setting.

I still suggest to try my earlier suggestion(ssd in caddy & hdd in original slot). It is overall better in longer term.

Could it be that this one was a Ryzen 5 3550H version and not 4600H.

i have a Lenovo lappy G50-80 80E5. This laptop is used for online class only and to watch old black and white movies. Have cleaned dust and reapplied thermal paste. Prime-95 10 mins run results to 54 Deg Temp on 100% load. OS installed is Win 7 ultimate.


since it is running slow so i want to replace it with a ssd and ram upgrade.

i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB ddr3 to 8 gb ddr3

Attaching the pic of installed ram.
Cpu-z shows that it is running at 800 Mhz in slot 2

Can i upgrade :
1) 8gb single stick or 4gb x2 ?
2) 1Rx8 to 2Rx8 ?
3) 800Mhz to 1600 Mhz ?
4)Only samsung to any company?

If i use 1600 Mhz Ram in 1st slot ,will it not both be downgraded to 800 Mhz ?

Post a screenshot of CPU-z memory & SPD tabs. Yours is running at 1600 Mhz despite 800 being reported there (Double Data Rate).
Use another 4GB DDR3 1600 Mhz stick with similar latency in slot 2.

Check if your laptop supports windows 10 (or 8.1 as those drivers can be installed on 10) and install Windows 10 LTSC version instead. SSD prices have increased recently. Cheaper of BX500 and A400 240GB would be a good option and 120GB if budget is less.

Get ssd first, 4gb ram is more than enough for win 8.1 while doing typical tasks. DDR means double data rate so the ram frequency mentioned by manufacturer is always double of the actual frequency reported by software(so for ddr3 1600 ram its actual frequency is 800MHz as reported by software like cpu-z). Crucial 4gb ddr3 ram is usually a good bet for old laptops.

1R means single rank & 2R means dual rank. Single rank ram is preferred for older laptops as less chances of compatibility issues. There are no dual rank 4gb ram as far as I know.

Crucial MX500 is the 2nd best budget 2.5" ssd after samsung 860 evo so always prefer it over any other 2.5" ssd.
