Transfer to the HDD to a modern and efficient SSD is currently one of the most effective ways to speed up your computer. As it turns out, is also one of the cheapest.
Time is money, and the time saved by replacing the HDD to SSD we should fully compensate for the expense associated with modernization. They will, moreover no space money. The fall in prices this type of drives over the past year has led to the fact that modernization of the PC or laptop using the SSD is now within the portfolio of virtually every user.
Prices drives with a capacity of 120 GB begin now already in the vicinity of 160 zł. This capacity is enough to use the SSD as a carrier system, improving comfort and allowing start the PC in seconds. For giving much more flexibility, and attractive from the perspective of the players, the capacity of 240 GB will cost today about 100 zł more. Prices of SSDs with a capacity of 480 GB and more start at around 460-470 zł. In each of these segments of the cheapest and therefore most profitable carriers are budget, based on the increasingly popular memories TLC. A good example can be here the drive ADATA Premier SP550.
SSD vs HDD
What makes the replacement of a component in your computer may be in such a significant effect on its performance? The easiest way to put it in a formula called. elimination of bottlenecks. Technology classical disc drive (HDD) has been evolving towards capacity and reliability, but gains in productivity media are negligible. Drives HDD sensational excel as a file cabinet, but because of design constraints are not able to achieve comparable SSD data transfer. They lose also extremely important from the perspective of the user time to access files stored on the drive.
As a result, SSDs now offer an average of three or even four times faster reading of data – particularly in comparison to the popular, inexpensive laptops installed in 2.5-inch HDD (5400 RPM). And that’s assuming that both types of media use the same SATA 6 Gb / s. The user computer with a SSD is almost instant access to any file stored on disk. In practice, this means that games and applications installed on the SSD require less time to run. Operating system and Internet browser smoother react to our commands. Of course finally gain in performance depends on the machine configuration (RAM, CPU, motherboard), but the elimination of bottlenecks in practice may even add wings to several years pecetowi.
In the case of laptops quite important are the other benefits of SSDs, which are unlikely to have greater significance for desktops. Due to the design based on NAND flash solid-state drives are light and less power-hungry, and the total absence of moving parts makes the one hand, they are characterized by silent operation, and on the other a very high resistance to mechanical damage. Potentially dangerous for HDD Laptop fall is unlikely to have a significant impact on the operation of the drive SSD – unless of course there is no physical damage to the entire machine.
Modernization PC
On your desktop computer to install additional disk space usually is simple. Drive just put in the housing at any point mounting adapted for 2.5-inch drives, and then hook into the motherboard via SATA cable. In the new Cabinet to special mounting points for the SSD, even behind the mainboard tray. Drive manufacturers often add to the set of adapters 3.5 inches.
The installation of the SSD laptops often require farewell to the HDD … or optical drive. This is due, unfortunately, the policy of manufacturers who rarely take into account the additional laptop project at bay hard drive. Such gems to hit, but most models the only way to have two disks is to purchase a special adapter (pocket) 5.25, which is mounted in place of the optical drive. This solution is very interesting and very tempting. Especially considering that the DVD slowly go of the past. If the HDD will translate into a pocket, get not only a handy storage for data and space for backup, but also will be able to save by buying a smaller SSD drive capacity.
When migrating from HDD to SSD can be very helpful to the software used for disk cloning. Through programs such as the free EASEUS whether paid Acronis True Image (often offered as a bonus bundled with the drive), we can avoid re-install the operating system. The entire process is automated and takes place step-by-step. If so access to the bay hard drive in a laptop is not affected in any way, exchanging HDD to SSD can perform yourself.
Modernization of the laptop in most scenarios, it is not a complicated process and can do it in person with the principle of basic technical knowledge. The only obstacle may need to spin machine. If your computer is covered by the warranty protection, should contact a previously authorized service. In this way we will avoid unpleasantness of breach of warranty. Finally, mounting the SSD for a small fee can make the store where purchased laptop.
