SSD (Solid State Drive) is a newer type of hard drive for computers that is much faster and more reliable than the older standard HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The cost for SSD’s has come down considerably in the past few years, capacities have increased, and we are now recommending them to replace aging HDD’s in computers up to about 5 years old. Watch the short video below to see a comparison between a SSD and HDD.
In summary, the advantages of SSD’s are faster startup/boot times of typically 50% or greater, faster program load times, greater durability and a longer lifespan. We can replace your current hard drive with a speedy new SSD ranging from about $300-$375 which includes the drive and labor to clone your current drive to the new drive. We can also upgrade the drive in a new computer for the same price. Please contact us for details or to schedule an appointment.
