yes. i just bought a SSD for almost 6 yrs old laptop. although the laptop is SATA 1, but can feel the significant improvement of booting and loading application speed.

Thanks. Which brand/model for 120gb or 256gb SSD u all prefer? Need to swap with Optical Disk drive or just take it the HDD out and plug in SSD?

i use samsung evo 850 120GB SSD.
use ssd as my primary drive.
take out optical drive, bought an caddy to install my existing HDD, this become my secondary drive
and yes, i had sacrifice my optical drive since rarely use it.

Just wondering if motherboard will affect the speed of my ssd

I'm currently using a GA-H77M-D3H which supports SATA 3.0 6 Gbps
and I plan to buy a samsung 850 evo 128gb

Wondering if my motherboard can fully utilize the ssd...

Thanks

depending on the sata port you are connecting your ssd to, yes, it will. the best sata ports are intel-based sata port. check your mobo for details.

Yeap, it's an Intel H77 based board (not sure about the sata port though)
There are 2 SATA 6Gb/s port so I guess 850 evo will be worth it?

Thanks!

it should be good to go.

Hi. Mind to PM your SSD installing guide? Thanks

if you are in Ipoh, you can spend me a cup of White Coffee, I can do it for it.

Hello guys, have been following this thread for awhile now. Is there any way to check warranty on the 850 evo?

I'm about to pull the trigger on one. Cheapest I've found around.

http://www.lazada.com.my/samsung-850-evo-1...25-1635722.html

This item ship from overseas so it is imported set.

I don't really mind an imported set if the warranty is intact.

Well, the seller clearly stated no warranty.

Went back to the page. ⌘+F. Typed no warranty. Found it.

I guess, I overlooked that. Hahahaha. My bad.

Even if got warranty, it will be very problematic as you need to send the SSD back to the original country and the time is

That is indeed true. I was looking for a budget/mainstream ssd for my spare system. Was browsing through lazada and stumble across on what I thought was a killer deal. Glad I came here before I pulled the trigger.

Okay, I've set my eyes to the transcend 370s 128gb variant as it's below the RM200 mark right now. Promising reviews. 3 years warranty.

3 years doesn't bother me as I'll probably change to a bigger ssd anyways in that time period.

Hi all. I m doing migrate hdd os & data to ssd using Samsung s/w. After plug SSD in external USB enclosure into my laptop, it s not shown on My Computer but found in Disk Management. How to solve the problem? Thanks

er what problem are you trying to solve? the normal process of migration is pretty straight forward. connect your new ssd to your computer via usb adapter. run migration software and start the migration. the new ssd will be detected automatically as target disk. proceed by following on-screen instructions.
