Questions about the Asus GL753

[vivant]

Hello, I will purchase the Asus GL753 laptop with GTX 1050 and I wanted to upgrade the storage with an M.2 SSD: Samsung 850 EVO Series 500GB (MZ-N5E500BW).
The problem is that it supports the following types of SSD:

Solid State Drives:
128GB/256GB SATA3 SSD
Solid State Drives:
256GB/512GB PCIE Gen3X4 SSD

1. Will it allow me to use this particular SSD card ?

2. I wanted to know whether or not I can unplug the battery of the laptop, even though the laptop has an integrated battery and use it only plugged in sometimes (this is in case the battery fails or heats up too much)

3. Does anyone have any more experiences to share with this laptop ?

4. I am in Computer Science and I wanted to know if using an SSD to store my windows partition and using various compilers Emacs, Vim, IntelliJ, Eclipse, Visual Studio and so on is going to shorten the lifespan of my SSD.

Any help would be appreciated.

1 if its M.2 2280 yes it will fit

3 no

4 wouldnt worry about it, it got 1500000 mtbf , you will not outlive that.

I don't think I can unplug the battery always because it's a non-removable battery, so I have to open up the laptop every time I need to use it with the battery.
I was worried about unplugging the battery of an integrated battery laptop because I thought that they made it this way so that the laptop always has a source of power for some reason I don't know about, and removing it might break something or decrease said thing's lifespan.

I think you are right about the SSD not going to break so easily, however I am curios about these PCIE Gen3x4 SSDs. Do they heat up a lot during use ?

Just disconnect the big wire from the powerbrick inside the laptop.
If you cannot find it leave it be.

those ssds are made for that purpose, they can take alot of heat.
