I tried the SSD upgrade with two different WD products (1TB black and 1TB blue) and with both I had problems: Random blue screens and after some time, computed could not find the SSD anymore. Looks like it has something to do with drive consuming too much power but I am not sure. I am now back on original 256 GB SSD, since I can't find what is causing compatibility issues.
Try this, it will help.
You can fit a full-size (M.2 2280) SSD in the Suface Laptop Studio, but you won't be reusing the metal bracket that is there for the small SDD (2230 size). More info available here: https://dancharblog.wordpress.com/2021/1...
