SSD Makes Old Notebook Young Again
Upgrading an old (but not that old) laptop’s hard drive to an SSD (solid state drive) can have a very dramatic impact on performance. More dramatic than I would have guessed, in fact. Check out the experiment at Laptop Magazine. A 120GB high speed SSD drive is going to cost more than $350, but that’s still cheaper than a new laptop.
Newegg has an OCZ Vertex 120GB SATA II drive like the one used in the article for $377.45 with free shipping.
