I just put the ScanDisk Ultra II 240gb in my Gateway NE72214u, which is near to the same specs as your Acer M5 481p-6644. If you have the original installation disks and the time, it may be fun to just try to install it by yourself. If not, just pay the dudes to install it and get on with enjoying it. Hopefully by now you have already had it installed, but if your still waiting, I would definitely choose this specific Solid State Drive, as it has a "No Wait Boot Up and Shut Down" compared to other brands upgraded models, and it made a big difference in the boot up, speed and smoothness of my machine. The ScanDisk Ultra II has a decent benchmark rating. Some other drives are faster, but you will not be able to judge that, because our computers are not going to get the top speed anyways as our hard drive controller is SATA II, and the SSD is configured for the newer SATA III controllers as in the new laptops built for the top speed with larger front side buses. It is like the difference between a normal USB 2.0 and an upgraded USB 3.0. I saw the transfer speed between my USB Flash Drive increase by about 1/3, and my movies and games are way super smooth now. For me, I really needed the 240bg because Windows 8 wants 100gb for the operating system, which is way much more than Windows 7, so the 120gb drives are not right for me. Hope you pull the trigger on this one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.YES... the largest impact on performance is actually disk I/O ... reading and writing from the disk ... SSD has no physical drive - it is all Solid state .. tremendously faster than the 5400 RPM drives in laptops.
