You can get a Sata SSD off the shelf for under €100 and there is quite simple no cheaper or easier way to significantly reduce system boot times and application launch times.
yes. Some (not all) laptop of the last decade have a msata port. It may even be that you don't know. My younger daughter complained her Lenovo tablet x220 was extremely slow (sorry, windows 7 user :-((), and I have to ack this, when all the computer is pretty high end for it's sales date (i5, 4Gb ram). I was on the way of putting a spare ssd in it when, browsing the specs I noticed that it had an msata port. Needed to remove keyboard and touchpad to see it. I plugged a 60Gb msata I had in it and this changed completely the way this computer works. Sure, W7 is odd and uses most of the 60Gb for itself (on the same msata, I had plenty of room with 42.3), but it runs *fast* of course, no nvme port there. and nowaday, people with msata are often changing for bigger and I could buy 60Gb msata for 20€ + postage jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
