Has anybody used, or know about, Crucial SSDs? They are doing a lot of advertising and have two models: X6 in plastic case and X8 in a metal case.
I upgraded my HP laptop from a 1TB internal hard drive to a 2TB internal Crucial SSD. It was literally a Plug and Play operation. The Crucial SSD came with Acronis True Image software, which made cloning the original hard drive to the SSD simple. It took a couple of hours for the cloning process, but once it was done, all I had to do was remove the old hard drive and plug in the SSD. I also installed 16GB of Crucial RAM. The performance gain between these 2 upgrades was astonishing. It used to take about 5 minutes to fully boot up this laptop from a cold start. Now it takes about 30 seconds and all applications run so much faster. Best upgrade I ever did on any computer I've EVER owned. Highly recommend Crucial products.
