Would an old Intel 520 series SSD still be faster than a 5400 RPM laptop hard drive

Marmalade_dude · Sep 27, 2014

I have a spare 520 that I used to use for my desktop before I got the 730 upgrade and I was wondering if it's worth the trouble putting it into my laptop which has a 5400 RPM hard drive? I don't really use my laptop for storage so the 120 gig SSD should be enough space for the OS+ Microsoft Office+photoshop programs.

By miles and miles. So the answer is yes, if you're still out there, it is worth it.

Yes much much faster. You can not compare data transfer speed of a SSD with HDD. It will also increase your laptop battery backup.

Yes, extremely faster. The access times are MILES ahead of a slow 5400rpm hdd. I need to upgrade to an SSD in my own laptop as well honestly, 5400rpm causes lag and hangups with moderate multitasking for me.
