looking back the spec, it is indeed have dvd-rom. so your are in luck. you can buy this type of HDD Caddy and replace it in the current dvd-rom..So you will have SSD and HDD for the extra storage. but make sure the hdd caddy can support your laptop.

QUOTE(taitianhin @ Feb 2 2018, 04:40 PM) Yes...Replace the old 500GB h/D with 128GBSSD... If wanna keep the mechanical HDD as well...So we close the OS from the mechanical HDD into the ssd...when boot up (in BIOS) we set the priority boot to select the sdd, after boot in successful then format the old OS partition at the mechanical HHD Now startup takes 10-12seconds....SHutdown takes 5-10seconds... I clone the OS into the new SSD Nice move The process correct? |

I Click that and restore a blank OS in HDD...The process correct? Then use EASUS, if not mistaken, then Clone HDD OS(primary)->SSD(Secondary). Then Swap HDD with SSD, so my new SSD is primary. As there is not enough for SSD, HDD and DVDROM to co-exist in the laptop. I have taken out HDD tp be an external Harddisk As bios, there is only one harddisk there... |
