Samsung 250mb SSDs are about $170 now so mine arrives tomorrow.
My laptop is an i7 and runs Win 7 64bit so seems like it will be worth the effort to upgrade the primary drive.
Found an HD caddy to swap into the CD Rom bay, so will move the current primary - 500 mb to that as a second drive..
Running multiple instances of VS2012, with SSMS etc is just getting tedious on my old desktop with 32bit. (and that's in 2012 and c# - vs2010 with a big VB app is painful. )
Laptop has 6gb now but I will soon bump to 8 (which is the official max. y580s are said to handle 16gb nicely but not sure about the y560 yet, though I suspect the processor and 64bit os are more the issue )
Anybody have experience of upgrading a laptop to SSD?
I hear is it a very nice difference. They say it comes with software to mirror current HD to new one but if not I have Paragon suite.
I'll report back tomorrow on results, or at least vent my frustration ( I hate hardware and all its evil works )

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
