    SSD is worth the work as a laptop upgrade

    I noticed my laptop (8 GB ram, win10, speed rating about 2500), was having a hard time keeping up with everyday use - lots of hard drive access. I also noticed I had used only 150 GB of my 750 GB drive. I swapped it out for a 480 GB SSD. Followed the internet guidance and used the downloaded "swap hard drive" program, took about 2 hours overall, but not surprises - except the hard drive is no longer part of the waiting process. Much less expensive than a new laptop - and I ended up with a 750 backup drive, which I will never use .......

    Having a toddler this HD is so much better from the convential that can be damaged when the laptop gets hit. Operates much faster and more safe. Only thing is the laptop keeps saying vibration detected moving to safe location though there is no movement.

    This was an easy to set up drive. You need to have the proper USB - SATA wiring. Copied the old drive without incident. Faster start ups now.
