I had already upgraded my memory but i wanted a faster scanner, I got tired of long boot up time.
So figured i would try an SSD hard drive since there is no moving parts (no disk to spin up to speed before it starts reading) I purchased a new Corsair 60GB SSD hard drive "285MB read speed 275MB write speed "
the higher both numbers are the better! its fairly new technology so its more expensive than a regular hard drive.
($150.00 for this one at Fry's)
You can go bigger but i didnt need bigger I wanted faster!
I dont have a lot of applications on it except Ford ids and Vetronics J-2534 programer.
Let me tell you Its fast... at everthing. Much faster bootup time than before. Internet is faster than shop computers over LAN cable and im on wireless network!!! Granted i have a fast wireless router (Netgear WNDR3700)
I am very pleased with the speed, its much faster!
things you will need:
-computer with 2 extra sata ports
-some kind of cloning software i used Norton Ghost 15.0
If you try this dont forget to "initialize" the new drive because windows wont recognize it . to do this click on "start" menu go to my computer right click then click on "Manage" then click disk managment the new hard drive wont show up in the top box since it doesnt have a "drive" letter asigned to it yet, you need to do that on the lower box . why am i telling you this ?
because i did a lot if reading on the internet to figure out why it wouldnt show up when i plugged it into my desktop sata port .( I thought i had a Dead hard drive)
