Now you can have the speed and power saving benefits of Solid State Drive in your laptop without compromising on storage space!
There is a new product on the market that allows adding a Solid State Drive (SSD) to your laptop. The idea is simple. Instead of replacing your existing Hard Drive for a Solid State Drive, consider replacing the DVD drive in your laptop.
When is the last time you used your DVD drive?
The new “Akasa N.Stor Laptop ODD adapter to SATA Bay” allows you to fit a SSD which will utilise the internal SATA port.
if you are not familiar with the use of SSD’s as OS drives then here is a quick explanation of the setup.
OK let’s say you have a 500GB Hard Drive in your computer:
By fitting a 120GB SSD to run along side it, all that goes on the SSD is the Operating System (Windows approx 20GB) and your Program Files.
You still have the full 500GB storage space for all your files and documents.
The advantages of running a system off a SSD are huge. Not only the speed but also the battery life will improve dramatically.
