sacrificexss Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have a m14x R2 with a 750gb hard drive but I heard it was better to have a SSD. I dont know much about them and not sure which ones would fit the pc. I would like some advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemotaZyka Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Get samsung 840 pro or intel 520. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shnarf Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 the size difference is because the r2 can use either a standard 2.5" ssd or an mSATA ssd. the best option i think is bothIf you have the free mSATA slot id suggest getting 1x mSATA and 1x 2.5" with the same controller and running RAID0. I first did this with a Mushkin Atlas 120GB mSATA and a Corsair ForceGT 120GB. I have since replaced both and now run a Atlas Dx 240GB and ForceGS 240GB. this setup does 1,000MB/s read/writes. for a less techical benchmark my Windows 8 wei disk score is 8.2. last startup time according to windows 8 was 5.4s.

Boby Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I replaced my 750GB HDD (7200rpm) with a 512GB Crucial M4 SSD. It has helped bring down the temperature as well as excellent boost in performance. Well worth it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
