The impression you have a slow computer comes in everyday use, there is always a few seconds too much takes to start Windows and programs in particular. The whole trick is to know that this is not the processor or RAM are guilty. Or to put it this way: definitely wearing these two not the main culprit. As you can already guess (remains not much left) is our sin Bock classical hard disk. Your slow read / write cycles make the many cores with its many GHz and the many GB RAM unnecessary. Exactly this problem is resolved in SSDs. Compared to hard drives, SSDs flit and as proof of the huge difference I give my case on. My 5 years old laptop from Compaq (V6650ed) is equipped with 2 GB RAM and a 1.5GHz Centrino Duo for today's conditions no more infernal machine. But replace the laptop is always at least 500 Euros (one wants something decent) to spend on a new one. And you then also get back a computer with a hard drive, because in the Preisklassse no SSDs are built entirely sure. Außerden I was incredibly curious whether the shift to SSD on a relatively old computer still brings something. Whether perhaps one last drop of performance is squeezed ... And the results are amazing. A drop of performance? No! I would rather refer to it as a tsunami. It is just amazing how moving the old laptop. Windows 7 has been installed per 11 minutes. Programs start immediately, updates are installed within seconds. And the interface to which the SSD is connected, the very old SATA 1.5 Gbps. The investment of 100 euro is worth 110%.
I opted for the Intel 520 SSD, because all reviews stability (no blue screens) highlighted. So no problems with the firmware, easy to install and losgehts. Can I also confirm until now.
One star deduction there, because the Flash Player plugin keeps crashing for browsers. Does not happen often, but is annoying. Have until now no solution found nowhere. Had not the problem sooner, so suspect an incompatibility with the SSD. Is most likely to Adobe.
Conclusion: An SSD is recommended in any case for increasing the speed of a computer. Intel adds the guarantee of stability. Prices are now no longer a problem. Buy recommendation!
