Hi there,

I am thinking to UPGRADE the laptop to SSD (at least 1TB). What brand would you suggest? Are there other options I should consider before I upgrade? Does SSD comes with ONE speed or there are differences between them ?

Regardswhat's the make/model of the laptop?
that'll determine the type of SSD; it MAY be a normal 3.5" type, or mSata, or m.2 type drive.


and have you prepared yourself for the cost... 1TB SSD's are around $AUD500.


as to speed differences, all the manufactures have benchmark scores (if you can believe them) so use that as your guide.
but give or take, they all seem to fall with the same ballpark figures.


I've used Intel, Samsung, Kingston units without complaint, but things LIKE price, performance and warranty will sway your decision.Personally, I like Intel SSD's the BEST. But Samsung and Kingston make great SSD's, too, and the Dell SSD's in my Compellent SAN are amazing.

Things to consider before upgrading. You will have to either image your laptop or reinstall Windows. I recommend reinstalling, but make sure you backup your data before either option.Thanks for replies guys!

Interesting - Plextor and Toshiba are the top ones.
