QUOTE(haaziqbasir @ Feb 2 2018, 10:28 AM) Should be fine, if you planned to replace the sata hdd how about the cable ? How much is the cable to connect the SSD to the motherboard ? And do i need extra cable to connect the old HDD ? The old HDD is to be put at the CD-ROM position , right ? Sorry , I am a noob in this area |

QUOTE(haaziqbasir @ Feb 2 2018, 10:36 AM) no cable needed. simply take off your hdd, replace with your ssd, install new windows on the ssd, voila Normally how much it would cost if I buy the SSD myself and ask others in the computer shop to reinstall the SSD and also OS ?if you planned to keep the hdd, you need to buy hdd caddy (just google, shopee, lazada, lelong should have plenty). Put ssd inside caddy and replace the dvd drive But you will not have the dvd drive though (as the caddy will be put at dvd drive slot) |

QUOTE(soul_gamerz @ Feb 2 2018, 05:13 PM) looking at the laptop, it thin..surely don't have dvd-rom right? so you dont have any choice but to buy a bigger SSD. Just buy the regular Sata SSD to replace the current one. As for the HDD, you can buy external enclosure to make it external HDD. but surely you dont want to install anything on external HDD ya , i know the hdd is slow .. How if my ssd is fully loaded with the apps installed , but i need to install new software again ? Can i install it in hdd ? |

QUOTE(soul_gamerz @ Feb 2 2018, 05:21 PM) 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. Yes , i plan to put the old HDD at my DVD-Rom compartment . Since 120gb is rather small , if teh drive is full , can i choose to install the apps and progammes on hdd ? P/s : I dont play games , so i dont have big game files |
