Description

The listing, Make Your Computer 3-5x Faster! Crucial BX500 240GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD has ended.

Replacing your HDD with an SSD is the single best step you can make to improve the speed of your laptop or desktop. Unless you use your HDD for storing photos or videos, it's probable you are using less than 240 GB of space and can, therefore, have no need for a bigger say 1TB or 2TB drive. Also after you transfer the operating system to the SSD you can use the HDD as an external or 2nd drive to contain your photos and videos if you have them.

Older HDD spin at 5400 rpm and will transfer data at 100 MB/s. Newer and more expensive HDD will transfer data at 7200 rpm and 150 MB/s. SSDs like this one, transfer data at 550 Mb/s. I recently replaced an HDD of a neighbor's laptop with an SSD. Her boot time went from 3 minutes to 30 seconds!

There are many free programs for migrating your operating system from an HDD to an SSD. Just do a Google search for "free software for migrating HDD to an SSD." You will need to reinstall your software, but that might not be such a bad thing too because you will get the latest versions of your apps.
