Change laptop's HDD with a faster one
Hello guys,
I have a laptop that is approximately two years old. It contains 1 TB Samsung HDD ST1000LM024, 8 MB, 5400 rpm. The OS is windows 10. Now I have recently got a new WD 500 GB WD5000LPCX laptop drive with 16 MB Cache.
Now I winder if it is maybe a good idea to replace the HDD in my laptop and to put WD inside because it has a bigger cache memory and to put Samsung drive in a case and to use it as external HDD.
I wonder of the performance would be noticeable better with newer WD HDD.
WD HDD is a bit tinner (7 mm) but that is OK since I'd put a bit or rubber in the HDD's case in the laptop.
Before I do this (make image of a system partition and similar) I wonder whether it's worth it.
Thank you.
