Dear Community,
I am thinking of getting a mid-range HP laptop for uni work and general use. The configuration I am thinking of buying contains an AMD Quad-Core A10-4655M processor and a 1TB HDD. My plan is to remove the HDD to keep as external storage and replace it with a 120GB Solid State Drive.
My first choice of SSD was a Samsung, however some consumer comments suggest that the drive has a number of issue when connected to an AMD chipset. Does anyone know if this is specific to Samsung SSDs or whether there is a general problem with AMD devices and SSDs?
My next choice is a Crucial M500 SSD, but I don't want to buy it and find that it either isn't detected or runs slowly, defeating the point.
Thanks in advance!
