Solid State Drives “SSD” Alternative to Hard Disk Drives “HDD”

Pros: Faster boot times, resistant to shock

Cons: Higher price per gigabyte, and lower capacity than HDDs

Older computers running at least an Intel Core2 Duo CPU may benefit from SSD upgrade

Strongly consider getting an SSD for new computers (especially laptops)

Note: An SSD upgrade does not guarantee a faster computer if you have issues related to the network, or other part of the system.
