Question for you gurus here...If I add a ssd to this laptop using it for the OS and the original hdd for storage will I notice anything measurable in everyday surfing/use? I was considering a new i7 laptop, but there isnt really anything wrong with the current other than I wish it were a little more snappy loading pages and such. Would a ssd make a difference in that respect? What is the smallest ssd I could get away with and still realize a benefit? :Dizzy: (Or would I just end up with a laptop that booted really fast and performed just as before lol?)

Web pages would still be bandwidth dependent. That being said you browser would open faster and dialey desktop duties would be instantanious. Your overall experience would be much more satisfying
TBH everyime I am working on any machine that does not have an SSD I find myself suicidal. I am not really sure how we survived the mechanical / Jarrasic computing age :laughing: I have to think it would be a no brainer upgrade, Got my son a Lenovo Y580 for Xmas with one of the new hybrids, these seem to be a nice comprimize of speed and strorage room as it is a 1TB with 32mb SSD cache goes from cold to usable in 18 seconds and opes shit up quick and comes out of sleep to usable in 2 seconds, so if you never really turn it off per say you are always two seconds away from hitting the buy button ........ :ohcrap: This is an epic drive, I have two of them, if you can find them in stock, not sure on the 840 flavors as they just released. On paper they are better but reading mixed reviews on them make me a bit gun shy Hard to beat at 74 cents a GB with image software http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147138 |
Thanks buddy - I'm going to test this out on the Vaio...just stuck a 60GB OCZ in the primary and moved the 200GB over to the secondary slot. This may be a good test to see if I want to mess with the Qosmio. Guess I just load the OS on the ssd and just format the hdd for storage?

sata 2 or sata 3 ?
If it is sata 3 I think it will be night and day :thumbsup: |
Just got the Vaio up and running with the ssd. Photobucket works at lightspeed hehe...think I will order a 256GB Samsung for the Qosmio. Cold boots to desktop in 20 seconds and shuts down in 3 seconds. :thumbsup:

Nice........ :thumbsup:
it will be like a new machine .....:) |
Based on what I have seen thus far I'm ready to open up the Toshiba. I have another 60GB OCZ ssd sitting here...think that will do no more than I use this laptop for? Still can't believe how fast I can browse thru my Photobucket albums haha! :clapping:
