I have another questions about replacing the hard drive with SSD. I am pretty much convinced that SSD is the way to go.
Dell quoted Western Digital SSD and I found that Samsung, supposedly, the fastest and a "Pro" grade SSD drive.
Aside from the prices (where Samsung is the most expensive, about $450), I want to be sure that the dimensions of the SSD will fit into the existing laptop.
I found that what I have now in my laptop is HGST Travelstar 2.5-Inch 500GB that has the following dimensions:
3.94 x 2.76 x 0.28 in
The SSD drives (both WD and Samsung) have the dimensions:
2.75 x 3.94 x 0.27 in
Do you know what is the second number (2.76 vs 3.94)? The SSD has it about 1" larger which concerns me.
TIA for any suggestions/input on this dimension.
