Newer laptops and PCs are already delivered ex-factory with Solid State Drives. Also with older computers, it is worth thinking about the replacement of the integrated drive or an upgrade with an SSD in addition to the existing memory. SSD are extremely robust, work with little noise emission and rapid velocity.

Thanks to different form factors, there is no need to worry about space problems because even in very compact devices, SSD with M.2 form factor can be installed.

    I have a ASUS FX705DT. Just bought a Samsung SSD (500GB). Which SSD M.2 (not SATA Samsung product) do you suggest? Either 500GB or 1 TB?
