Question from Seth:  Hi Rick. I have an old ASUS ROG G750JW laptop and I’d really like to replace the hard drive with a 1 TB SSD if it’s at all possible.

I love this machine and I want to keep using it as long as I can.

My problem is, I know zilch about the technical aspects of computers. I just know how to use them to do the things I need to do.

What I need to know is a) will this laptop take an SSD, and b) if it will, where can I have one installed in Conway, SC?

Q&A: Would adding flash storage to my Dell Inspiron 1300 improve its performance?

Posted on August 21, 2016

dell-inspiron-1300Question from Andy S.:  My Dell Inspiron 1300 has only 512 Megs of RAM. The machine is now very slow, I suspect that it’s due to lot of paging.

Would it make sense if I buy an Expresscard to USB 3.0 adapter so then I can add a USB 3.0 SSD, Flash Finger or M.2 to the machine? Would it improve the performance?

Thank you very much.

Q&A: Why should I convert my old C: drive to an external drive after an SSD upgrade instead of installing it as a D: drive?

Posted on January 29, 2014

ide-hard-driveQuestion from Gary M.:  Rick, Microsoft is forcing me to get serious about upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 8 (or 8.1). I just finished reading your recommendation to install an SSD drive and convert my XP internal drive into an external USB drive.

I was thinking along similar lines, but figured I would make my existing XP drive into a drive D: after upgrading to Windows 8. Why would converting it to an external USB drive be better?

Thanks, Gary
