HDD to SSD upgrade, computer compatibility?
Hey there, my HDD decided to take a dump and it is not time for me to get a Hard Drive, but instead of risking another horrible incident losing over 250 gigs and 2+ years of applications and irreplaceable java programs and html pages, I decided I wanted to go with a SSD. Only problem being, I'm not exactly sure if I'm doing the right thing here as far as choosing the right SSD (It's my first time upgrading anything for my laptop).
I have a Dell Inspiron 15r (n5110) with a i5 core and as of right now, (soon to be 8gb) 4gb of RAM and Windows Ultimate x64.
Can't really look up my personal specs cause of my computer being unable to startup from a lack of Hard Drive, but if any other information is needed I might be able to grab it.
I was thinking about purchasing a SanDisk Extreme 240 GB, Internal SSD from here but I wanted to make sure that my system was compatible in the first place before I go and spend 100+ dollars. I did some research, but I wanted to confirm it with the experts here before I make my final decision.
Thanks for reading,
