Kingston 240GB Speeding up an old laptop: my truthful feedback

Since there are a lot of female authors-readers on the reviews who publish their reviews somewhere :-), I will say that now there is a way to speed up an old computer or laptop by replacing hdd memory with ssd. (Ssd memory is often installed on new laptops right away) HDD is a memory disk that is operated at the physical level, that is, a special reading head reads information from magnetic disks. Visual analogue of a record and a gramophone. SSD is flash memory, where access is carried out by applying voltage. The visual analogue is a regular USB flash drive. That is, there are no mechanical movements. Obviously, the 'mechanical' action is much slower than the 'electrical' one. This is the main advantage of SSD memory. But there is also a minus that SSD memory is less durable. Therefore, it is better to store 'valuable' information on the HDD. In the past, SSD memory was expensive compared to HDD. But now the price has dropped and is comparable. So I bought a 240 GB Kingston A400 SSD for 2300 rubles. Perhaps only 120 GB is enough for you - it costs around 1000 rubles. This memory has a one year warranty. As a result, I installed this SSD memory instead of the dvd-rom optical drive. These days, DVDs do not actually need to be inserted into a laptop. Now the laptop has two permanent memory and SSD and HDD. The SSD is used to download programs, while the HDD is used to store music, movies, photos and 'valuable' information. As a result, the initial boot of the computer (starting windows) now takes me 20-30 seconds. While before everything was loaded slowly up to 3 minutes. Plus, office documents (word, exel, etc.) are loaded incomparably faster. Very happy with this transformation. Such an acceleration of the old people is much more cost-effective than buying a new laptop. About durability, namely, Kingston A400 I can’t say anything. This is tested by time. So far 10 days.
