Should I replace hard disk in my laptop

[srdigit16]

512=500, manufacturers use 1kb=1000bits instead of 1024. Also, they mention this at back of the packing.

each size class of SSD seems go have 3 sub-sizes e.g. 240/250/256GB, 480/500/512GB, 960GB/1TB are they actually same sizes?

No

what about having SSD & HDD (either M2 SSD (if supported) + HDD or replacing current HDD with SSD & add HDD in a caddy as my laptop don't have DVD drive), so that OS, heavy programs can be installed in SSD & files & light programs can be installed in HDD, can it save money & give more space than using a 500/512 SSD alone?

I am using a 240gb SSD in caddy with hdd, I have installed os on SSD and saving all my documents and pictures etc. On hdd.

Is it possible to find how much space is occupied by OS & Programs alone so that I can decide if I need 256 GB or higher?

just check documents, downloads etc. the user folders and subtract it from total space.

Is the usage of heavy software like Android Studio & emulators etc the reason why the HDD caused the problems (mentioned when this thread is started) in just 3 years of usage?

I think 240/250/256 GB is just minimum. If the SSD becomes almost full will there be problems in downloding and installing windows updates?

Whatever ssd your buying make sure that you plan to keep 20% is free.

What is your current C drive size? Generally windows will take 60 GB. Android Studio and other emulators should take around 40GB. Of you are not planning to game, 240/250 GB should be fine in your case.

Currently occupies under 320 GB including downloaded files. Android Studio takes more space than expected when we open projects in gradle folder, emulators also
