My disc drive packed up last week on an old Lenovo T410, nowt to write home about, anyway I bought a new solid state drive instead of the old style HDD. re installed the OS and wow it goes like *** off a shovel. Now I know it's down to the drive because I initially changed it for an HDD I had and that packed up after a fortnight so I bit the bullet and spent £50 on a SDD and wallop works great.

tills it's the disc drive in your computer. HDD is the old style mechanical disc with moving parts, TBF a remarkable piece of engineering in it's modern form. However an SDD does the same but it is in fact memory chips that the OS thinks is a disc so files are stored and retrieved as if they are in fact memory, much much faster.
I have, in the past upgraded my desktop with a hybrid and my old HP laptop with a hybrid. I have also done 2 laptops for friends. I used Hybrids because the 1Tb ssd drives were an astronomical price, but the hybrids were very cost effective. I also doubled the ram in my deskop and put a touch screen monitor with it. Everything flies and the laptop which I had to change the fan on some time back now runs cool as ya like. I also have a microsoft surface pro which is like witchcraft that I take with me when I am mobile. Just a point. When I built the desktop way back when I over specced everything and put the best motherboard there was on the market at the time , and put in a power supply that would power our street lights. The same specifications now would cost me a pretty penny. Last time I looked about a grand. I also cloned all the hard drives to the new drives that I installed so that no files were lost and all settings remained. It was interesting.
I had important data which was archived to an external HD. I changed that to a SSD because it was safer. I partition that and had put Windows OS on that which booted up super super fast.
So I replaced the HD on my Mac to a SSD just for the speed improvement, and my productivity.
Apple Silicon is going to be a game changer. I don’t have one yet, but they are very very good.

Here we all are, pleased as Punch with our SSD's and the game has already been upped to M2 drives, which make the SSD's look slow !

Togo.. the price of a 1tb SSD has done nothing but tumble.

I knew that the price was down Al, it was bound to happen. At the time that I needed then an ssd with the right specs would have been about 4 times as much as the one you are showing and I was picking up the hybrids for about 40 quid. If I ever have to sort another lappie out I will obviously be using the ssd option. It is something I do keep my eye on. Have a look at this Alava and look at how the price leaps up with increased capacity and but not always faster write speed. The gamers love em.
