Speed Up Your Old Computer with a New and Fast SSD
The easiest way to think of a solid-state drive (SSD) is as a super quick hard drive (HDD). Thus swapping your current HDD for a quick SSD is a simple and effective upgrade to breath new life into your computer or laptop.
Revive Your Slow Computer with an Superfast SSD
Old age creeps up slowly on most of us. Unless you’re a computer – then it seems to happen overnight!
One day you are using the computer fine, the next day it is so slow and booting takes so long you not only have time to make a cup of coffee, you could have walked to the local café for the good stuff!
This is when most people throw their hands in the air and start wishing for a new computer. Except your computer isn’t broken, it is just….slow. Time-wasting, focus-losing, frustratingly slow. Like most machines, computers have parts that slow things down and eventually wear out (especially when they are in near-constant use).
The hard drive is the #1 cause of speed issues in most computers. Traditional hard drives are made up of round magnetic platters, spinning at up to 7200rpms, while a head on a mechanical arm whizzes back and forth reading and writing data. Eventually, the platters take longer to spin up, unable to reach full throttle and the mechanical arm becomes sluggish. Which leaves you waiting and waiting…
SSD’s Can Give Aging Computers A New Lease on Life.
If you haven’t heard of SSD’s previously then you should get excited as the new era of hard drives are here with Solid State Drives – and they have no moving parts.
They are actually a lot like your USB stick that continually takes a beating but still performs perfectly.
Making a simple upgrade from an old hard drive (HDD) to a SSD can significantly reduce boot time and improve application loading. They are also:
- Cool – With no moving parts they are much, much cooler than traditional hard drives.
- More durable – No moving parts to wear out
- Compact – A little larger and thicker than a credit card
- Lightning fast – Data is accessed nearly instantly.
- Suitable for all systems– laptops and desktops
