or mayb u can try tune up utilities...
ssd in recommended for super fast windows boot in time
never turn back after u use it..it's marvellous

How much are you willing to spend? These days, you can get a new retail 120GB/128GB SSD for around RM230,  250GB/256GB for around RM400. In day to day use there's hardly any difference between models and brands, so usually just get any you like. If your laptop has an mSATA or M.2 slot you can use that for SSD, and still keep the HDD for mass storage.

Hi. I don't need a high capacity one so 128gb is enough. I am also not sure what type is it? But is it a lot of work to clone the OS from one to the other?

Is changing it ourselves a tough job or not? Errmm, I have a z400 and plan to change to SSD soon as well.

Cloning is easy really, I usually use Macrium Reflect to clone HDDs to SSDs for my clients. That program is easy to use and it's free.

^Sandisk X300 128GB, RM215. Decent performance, and one of the cheapest available.

Thanks. Not sure if i am able to do it on my own. Normally how do you clone from hdd to ssd? Using the software via usb? Dont really understand the idea.

Just checked using crystaldiskinfo. It says health of hdd is good. Just weird that its so damn slow.
Will ssd improve the performance SIGNIFICANTLY?

Connect the new SSD to the computer using a USB cable or enclosure, run the program until finished. Open your laptop and change the HDD to SSD and the you're done.
Below is a video that shows how to use the program

Maybe there's something else that's accessing your HDD all the time? Anyway based on my personal experience with a pretty run of the mill SSD on a Haswell based Celeron laptop, even when hammered with antivirus scans, windows update and IDM downloads the laptop is still responsive. Did this on the same laptop using the stock 5400rpm HDD it came with and it basically just gave up lol, nothing moves.

Just changed to 120gb ssd. Significant improvement. Now my w7 boots up within 15 secs. Btw, im looking for an enclosure for my old hdd, any cheap recommendations? Or any enclosure would do?

ssd will speed up program loading time significantly , am i right ?

can we buy something to cover the internal hdd ? 

Yes, SSD can read files faster at the average speed more than 300mb/s while most of the HDD can only read files at the average speed around 100mb/s
Yes, enclosure is not expensive. Last time I bought ClipTec 2.5” USB 2.0 SATA Harddisk SSD HDD Enclosure for the price less than RM30. Quite reliable.

Are external ssd hdd worth getting?

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.

if 3 times format all partition,

but the laptop still sluggish,

could also be HDD problem right?

I don't recommend cloning from HDD to SSD. The blocks arrangement of SSD is totally different from HDD. It will still work but it will take some performance penalty.

Just changed to samsung ssd... super fast

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?

looks like you've got more than ample confident and experienced advice from many of the experts here

and yes as they do correctly say - well most of them - its as easy as just physically swapping the old one out and putting in the ssd

unless you have 2 bays on your laptop then its just a matter of putting in the new ssd

but in anycase you would like to also think of cloning your hdd partition to the new ssd so that you don't have to reinstall the os and drivers and applications all over again

but then again for that - for me at least - the non IT savvy person, you would have to read the manual for that cloning software carefully or at least understand the steps to do - its not as simple as click click next done

but I think by now you would already accumulated enough confidence with all the advises you have got from all these confident experts here

for me, just sharing that the simplest way for me was to reinstall the os and drivers from scratch and then later copy back the documents and data and stuff to the new ssd.

yes it was a pain to reinstall everything but then again maybe you like  me - think that it is time for some good housekeeping and hence good to start from scratch and fresh

Use lazada. Price is 4++ iirc..
Then u create new account.. can use Rm80 code.. hence the rm361.

Warranty on box is 5 year.. and samsung detect it as genuine and still sealed box

RM80 code applicable to all seller?

How long do you receive the goods after place order?
