Hi all,
Looking to upgrade SSDs as the one with my operating system is quite full.
I currently have:
Would my least wasteful option be to get a 250 GB mSATA SSD?
Leave my OS on the 520 and move all future programs to the new one?
Is there anything I should know about mSATAs?
Currently looking at this: [strike]http://www.msy.com.au/pc-components/18114-wd-blue-ssd-wds250g1b0b-250gb-m2-ssd-solid-state-drive.html[/strike]
NEW: http://www.msy.com.au/msata/15235-samsung-850-evo-mz-m5e250bw-250g-msata-ssd-solid-state-drive.html
The other option would be to buy a regular SSD. How should I manage the ports? Something like:
New SSD --> 6gb/s
Old SSD --> 6gb/s
Old harddrive --> Doomed to 3 gb/s
How much would my HDD suffer from the slower port?
Thanks x!
UPDATE:
Thanks Paul for pointing out I was looking at the wrong component
