 Huss | Hi, Can I help? |
| Steve | I have an Asus laptop 17 inch which has 2 separate hard drives . Laptop is slow and was wondering if it can upgraded with new parts or if the hard drives can be put in a new laptop so that I don’t have to transfers all the storage . They are 500gig each | |
| Huss | hello | |
| we can upgrade your hard drive to SSD which is considerably faster. and then have your existing drive in USB enclosures. | |
| Steve | its more about the whole system being slow . Not the hard drives . But a new 17inch laptop is expensive. And this one has 2 separate hard drives instead of a single unit . Does anyone make a laptop with twin drives any more | |
| 1 of the hard drives was replaced only a couple of yeara ago | |
| Now running Windows 10 and that has slowed it down | |
| Huss | SSDs are much faster than mechanical drive so this should improve performance a lot. | |
| not sure who is making more than one drive now | |
| is your priority storage space ? | |
| Steve | No but I run my business from the laptop and it is just slow to do things . I thought an upgrade of motherboard or processor would be the way to go | |
| Huss | not possible on laptops.. | |
| what specs your laptop has? | |
| Steve | Nedd to keep all thw programs and emails etc | |
| Huss | best way is to clone your existing drives into an SSD | |
| or we can clone to a new laptop if you wish to buy a new laptop | |
| Steve | It is Asus k72f intel i5 m480 2.67ghz. 4 gig ram | |
| Running Windows 10home | |
| Huss | the laptop is quote old, of course upgrading is a better option if you can afford to do so | |
| Otherwise upgrading to SSD’s will be the go | |
| Steve | So best new laptop and clone hard drive so everything looks and works the same | |
| Huss | shoudl considering your software compatible with teh operating system. | |
| Steve | It is about 10 years old | |
| Huss | if you are already running windows 10, you should be fine | |
| Steve | Has have upgraded to Windows 10 but love the 17inch screen and they are expensive now . | |
| Huss | well you can always give the upgrade a try | |
| SSD HDD 1TB is around $220 each, cloning you will be looking @ $75 each as well. | |
| Steve | Ok thanks for the info . Something to think about . | |
| Huss | no probs, always here to help. thanks |
