Are external ssd hdd worth getting?

I'm thinking of replacing my other laptop's hdd with ssd as well. But i intend to do it on my own.

Is it possible to just clone the OS from my hdd to the new ssd?

The biggest difference is actually not sequential read/write. It's random read/write performance that matters the most for normal usage. The difference is 50-100x compared to HDD.

Depending on your usage. If you just need to copy movies which are sequential in nature, it's not worth it. A normal HDD is fast enough.

Thanks for the correction.

external ssd quite expensive, but what are the brands out there with external ssd ready to go? wd doesnt seems to have any

if 3 times format all partition,

but the laptop still sluggish,

could also be HDD problem right?

yeap could be bro..could be

Yup, the HDD could have a lot of bad sectors already.

Hey, can you explain more on this? I'm planning to clone my old pc (6 yrs old already) into a new ssd since I've lost my Win 7 and Ms-Office disks. Or do you have link to an article reg this?

I'm using Samsung 850 EVO 250GB w/Tweaked Max real fast

Guys, need some advice here...

I'm using a Asus N56V, I5-3210M, 8GB, 750GB 5400RPM, DVDRW, Ori Win7 Home Edition.

My plan is to replace the default HDD with a SSD and the HDD will be place into the DVDRW with a caddy. There are few things I'm a bit concern.

1. Can I clone my Original Win7 Home Edition from my HDD to SSD? Will it still be genuine OS if I install it from the SSD?

2. Any good shop to recommend for such upgrade? I'm from Cheras.

Hope to get input from fellow sifus here...

I read an article here that might help:

SSD makes a huge difference, Praise God the prices have come down to affordable levels the past few years.

What ways do you guys use to retrieve or download the laptop drivers?

Same old ways by searching up and downloading one by one?

Windows Update most of the time does the trick for me.

On windows 7 too?

Nope. I'm using it on 10.

All my devices are upgraded to win 10 already.

Most if not all SSD come with a tool to transfer your data from the current hdd to the new ssd as long as the data on the hdd doesnt exceed the size ssd.

But i would do is to a clean install on the ssd.
