SSD life increases significantly if it is used with 40-50% free space. I have a 31-in-1 pocket screwdriver set which had a T6 head as well.īefore you begin the process make sure to clean your existing HDD of all the files that you no longer need. You can buy one from eBay or your local electronics store.
The free version is good enough to mirror your existing disk to the new one. I already had one thanks to my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB portable HDD. You will need a SATA to USB converter to copy data from your existing HDD to SSD.However I figured that based on my usage (approximately 15-20GB read/writes per day), the SSD will still last at least 3-4 years. There is lot of debate about TLC vs MLC based SSD and how TLC SSDs have a shorter life span. I went with Samsung 840 Series SSD 250GB SSD available at Flipkart. Choose an SSD that fits your needs (size, cost etc).I will just document the steps that I followed for the upgrade process. There is already enough literature about SSD vs HDD and why you should or shouldn’t upgrade. Read and Write speed test for a Samsung 840 series SSD (250GB) Check the read/write speed of the drive in the screenshot below (remember on SATA II, the maximum transfer cannot exceed 300MB/s). Applications such as iTunes, iPhoto, Eclipse open in less than 3 seconds. Booting time has reduced from 120+ seconds to under 30 seconds. It has nitro boosted for a 5 year old laptop (which still runs on SATA II). And to say that the laptop performance has increased will be an understatement. Recently I went through the process of replacing the hard disk drive (HDD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) in my laptop (MacBook Pro 2009).
