Laptop Drive upgrade for SCT PRP

[RacerX]

I upgraded my laptop hard drive from a WD Scorpio Black 7200rpm(mechanical) to a Crucial M4 SATA SSD drive. No mechanical parts to get hurt while tuning (like hitting a bump in the road or dropping the laptop). Much faster too! I've been meaning to do this for a while and have other tuners interested. I can quickly clone the existing hard drive to the new SSD drive, swap them around and have it up and running quickly. :beer:

I've been meaning to do the same thing in my laptop; SSD's are dropping fairly nicely in price. You can get a 120GB for around ~$150 now.

Still, it's hard to replace a 300GB drive with one that's half the size when your OS/apps drive requires 60+ gigs...

This laptop is now dedicated to my Marauder. Tuning, research, Ford service manuals, how-to's, etc. ;) Other laptops are for different things... :beer: Not to mention, the original drive is safe.

I want an SSD, and have the perfect candidate for one.

What are you using to clone the drive? Acronis? :D

Come on GEEK,.. spill it.

:lol:

Specs?

Sounds slow.

Not a fan of HP. Especially their laptops but sounds good for a 'beater' laptop fo sho.
