from a brief search, the sata port in your laptop is sata1, which has max bandwidth of 150MB/s. even if you can run ssd, your system will be a bottleneck, capping it at that speed.

imo sata2 is the minimal sata spec to run ssd at acceptable good speed.

hmm....ok thanks then..may be consider use normal harddisk. i kind of feel my current harddisk going to die soon, can hear those "klak" sound. so just thinking to replace with ssd to improve the windows loading speed.

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.

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.  sweat.gif

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.

for Samsung Evo 850 120GB SSD, you might want consider this. i just bought 1 recently. create new lazada account, purchase via android apps,apply lucky80 or lucky15 to get 15% discount. final price rm256, free shipping.
