Hi all, I come to you pros for computer help again. So bare with me as I’m still fresh to the world of computers. I tried searching for answers, but still felt some of my questions weren’t answered.
What I want to do: I want to purchase a ssd and install it in my existing computer and install my operating system on it. I want a faster bootup, browsing, and relateds etc. I want to breathe some more life into this computer.
Relevant system info: mobo is a asus p6t deluxe v2, op sys is windows 7 x64bit, cpu core i7 920 2.67
Hdds: 1tb wd caviar black hdd that currently has my op sys and relateds plus about 640gb of music. 1tb, 640gb and 350gb external hdds with more music movies and pics on them.
My Questions: What ssd’s are compatible for my computer and what types and capacity are appropriate for me? I’ve been seeing differences in opinions on sata II and III and size requirements to do this. I currently had my eye on a Samsung 470 series 128gb ssd, thoughts?
How do I go about installing and setting up the ssd within my computer? (if it’s a link, paste it and I’ll read it) I want my current 1tb internal hdd to be used as a storage drive to keep my music and pics on, and remove the op sys and relateds from it.
Or, since you guys are much smarter than me, what would you recommend that I do?
Thanks again for all your continued help! Also, its my bday today! yayy so I want to treat myself to a new ssd.
