Ari wroteplease when you buy your ssd, tell us where you got it from and for how much, including your satisfaction, as i am looking to upgrade my hdd to ssd
Hey Ari,
As i was about to do the switch, i found something online regarding the 100% usage of my disk space and it was related to a series of windows functions that got enabled after an update.
Once i disabled them, did a clean up of my hard drive (move everything to backup and run a couple of software) the laptop got back to its usual speed ( i got 16gb RAM and an i7)
Plus since i don't do any gaming and i purely use it for research / media use, never went along with the switch.
However, a lot of people on this forum a well as other blogs testified the huge change once they switched to SSD.
My advice is to ask Lenovo support for optimal substitute.
I contacted HP and they told me some of the suggested ones i was told about would have failed (though much appreciated the feedback, this forum is my favorite) and there were only 2 verified and tested SSD that would have served long term for this old laptop.
Good luck dude
