[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3344367, member: 43724"] If you are replacing a laptop hard drive, especially on any mid to low range model, SSD is the way to go. Typically laptop hard drives are 5400 RPM as they take less power. Desktop hard drives typically run at 7200 RPM. You would be surprised at how much that slower rpm will bog down a computer. SSD solves that as its flash memory, so no rotational speed needed. The kicker: they use less power than even 5400 rpm drives! If you need storage space go with an SSD for your primary then have a 2 TB external hard drive for storage. [/QUOTE]
