Best Budget 2.5 Ssd For Laptop

I had an older laptop with an i7 CPU but Task Manager showed that the HDD at 100% slowed down the overall performance. With SSD technology so much improved and more affordable, replacing the HDD with this SSD resulted in a laptop that boots up almost immediately and runs Photoshop and Lightroom so much faster. It also uses much less power so the battery lasts longer. Acronis True Image for Crucial is a free downlead which lets you copy the entire HDD drive to the SSD mounted in an external USB drive. Next you remove the HDD and insert the SSD (if there is only one 2.5 slot). In the very rare situation in which the image copy did not work, the original HDD can still be used. Newer laptops use the smaller and faster M.2 form factor NVMe drives, but for older 2.5 drives this is the product to get. Make sure the drive is compatible with your PC or laptop which it is in almost all cases.

This device is a wonderful thing to have. You can connect it to most SSD or 2.5 inch laptop drives. What you cannot do is use it to hook up a standard disk drive that requires 12 VDC as this draws poser from the USB port. The main use for me is to hook up a SSD containing my virtual machines. That way the VMs can be moved from computer to computer with little effort.

Does the job for 2.5 SSD's

Friend had older laptop that was so slow. She has limited budget and is saving for a new PC, yet current unit took over 3 minutes to boot. And Chrome took about 25 seconds to fire up. This SSD came to the rescue! Cleaned up some Windows 10 stuff, cloned old 5,400 rpm 500 GB disk to the PNY CS900 500GB SSD. Wow, she's so happy! For under $40 it's never been this fast, even when new. Boot time about 30 seconds and Chrome loads in ~ 3 seconds. Fantastic value.

Best SSD which I used ever!
