Does anyone else have an issue with the y510p making a wierd whizzing sound? It is annoying the hell out of me and it only stops when I put it the laptop in power saving mode. I don't wanna open my laptop.

That sound must be from some object touching CPU fan like wire or most probably excessive dust.

Finally I got SSD for my Lenovo Y510P!
Its been a little more than a year since I bought fabulous Lenovo Y510P, so I have decided that it should get nice/major upgrades this new year.
Brought few upgrades for it as follows:
1). Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD.
2). HDD Caddy (To replace Optical Drive with HDD).
3). Broadcom 802.11ac 867MBPS WiFi adapter (Ordered from Aliexpress back in October 2014 and received it very recently, Chinese and Indian customs sucks big time!)
I have searched for M.2 2242 SSD but its now not available anywhere so decided to go with currently world's fastest SATA 3 SSD. After installation I had done fresh installation of Windows 8.1 Single Language with Update 3 and latest drivers with software's and noticed huge huge... difference in performance. I believe once the person upgrades to SSD, he/she can't go back to HDD as OS drive.
Few clicks...

Guys need to ask battery related questions.
Yesterday kept 20 Gigs for download.(Revit Architecture softwares,etc.)
So it's a semi downloading rig till my Pi B comes.
So shall I remove the battey?Or keep it.
Lenovo guy told me to keep it on optimised battery with LEM software or else Motherboard will fail.
Some friends were telling that your battery will die.
So I thought this is the best place to ask.
What should I do?
Download with battery or remove it?
BTW I feel that battery is pretty deteriorating.How do I improve it?

Don't worry, Nothing will fail even if you keep battery connected to your laptop. I always download throughout night while battery is attached to my PC and mains connected. I have done fresh install of Windows 8.1 and didn't even installed LEM but installed OneKey Theater only and its been over a year since I purchased my PC till now I am getting around three hours of battery backup when watching movies with downloading in background on balanced power settings and since I upgraded my HDD to SSD, I am getting around 3.45 hours of backup doing the same thing with HDD connected through Optical Drive bay.

But the bad news is Y510P compatible M.2 SSD is not available anywhere either on OnlySSD or PrimeABGB. So right now the best option left is Samsung SATA 3 850 EVO or PRO SSD.

Here you go Y510p compatible M.2 SSDs
Buy MyDigitalSSD M.2 2242 128GB NGFF SSD (MDM242-SC2-128)
Buy Plextor M6G 128GB mSATA SSD (PX-128M6G-2242)
- - - Updated - - -
Plextor M6G is listed as mSATA but it is clearly M.2 NGFF. OnlySSD guys made a mistake.

What is the min capacity you suggest to go for?

128 gb

First check if you have a m.2 slot or not
- - - Updated - - -
And dist between screw and slot is 42mm
But MyDigitalSSD M.2 2242 128GB is out of stock everywhere and Plextor M6G 128GB NGFF is quite expensive for 128GB. Also performance of Plextor M6G is inferior to MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2. Its still better to go with Samsung 850 PRO 256GB @ 12K!
