Hi. I have the following laptop: http://www.asus.com/in/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/K55VM/specifications/
Been using it for 2 years, and I feel the hard drive lag/slowdown quite a lot since past few months. Whenever something is being copied/installed, the rest of the programs will struggle to work. CPU/GPU Usage are not a problem.
My question: If I buy an SSD, will my laptop support it? For instance, I could be getting the following SSD: http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-840-pro-series-256-gb-ssd-internal-hard-drive-mz-7pd256bw/p/itmdjsgavnypzzsy?pid=IHDDJSG9FZ598NF8&otracker=from-search&srno=t_15&query=ssd&ref=268ded3c-67fa-4ae5-ab04-ca28a6dce60d
I'm not sure if my laptop will support the 2.5" SSD. If it helps, I checked the Device Manager and saw that my current HDD is the following: ST1000lm024.
Also, once I remove the old HDD, can I use it as an external HDD (considering its 1 TB size)?
Thanks for reading and any help will be appreciated.
