When installed on an SSD, Windows not only loads and closes faster, but applications load faster, and the overall computer feels more responsive. Here is how to install an SSD on your PC Almost all PC cases have internal bays to add extra hard drives, which are 3.5 inches wide. SSDs tend to be 2.5 wide, however, so it is likely that you will need a mounting bracket to fit one on your computer. Generally, ssd’s have Serial ATA (SATA) data connectors, three of which are versions (1, 2, or 3), which can transfer data to 1.5 Gbps, 3Gbps, or 6Gbps, respectively. The Kingston Hyper X 3 K is able to read and write data in 500MBps through a SATA three port. It does not matter much if your computer does not support SATA 3. SSD are backwards compatible, and the raw transfer rate is not the only reason for better SSD performance. More important is its very low latency on the conventional hard disks, as it takes considerably less time to access the data from the NAND flash memory of an SSD than for the mechanical branch of a hard disk to move in position. There are, however, some drawbacks that need to be taken into account. SSD costs more, per GB of storage, than conventional hard drives. In addition, its capacities are distributed around 512, which is...
