How to find the weakest link in my system? Replacing HDD with SSD?
Hello,
I have had my Toshiba Notebook for about 5 years, and it is still running strong. However, I am going to purchase a new computer after I receive my tax return to 'replace' it.
I would like to know if it makes any sense to install a Solid State Drive to replace the existing HDD to improve performance, and keeping the notebook on hand as a second computer, just in case the new notebook fails. (I don't like the thought of NOT having a computer for any length of time; I am sure that you all can relate to this!)
In order to decide if this upgrade would improve my system performance, I was told that there is a system utility that will list the components on a computer system, and tell you where the 'weakest link' is.
[For example, in this case, if I found out that it was my RAM slowing down the computer, not the HDD, then it would not make sense to change to a SSD. But if it was the HDD that was slowing down the performance than such a change would make more sense.]
Also, I previously uploaded my system info to the forum for my DESKTOP system, and now that I am asking a question about my NOTEBOOK, I would like to know how I can change my profile data to reflect the notebook's specifications.
Thanks, as always! Happy Holidays!
