+Heartripper Subscriber¹ Posted February 8, 2013 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 8, 2013 I own a Samsung np n220 I mostly use to browse the internet, edit documents, read emails and stuff like this. I was thinking about getting a small sad for it (sata II) but I don't know if it'd be worth it. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majed Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I did it once with my Sony vaio F1 , the performance gain from a traditional HDD to SSD "OCZ Vertex 120GB" was like day & night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aletheia Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have Asus eee 1000HA (with 2GB RAM & Win 7 HP). And I haven't used it for awhile, but after replacing it with its HDD with SSD (Kingston V+200, 60GB, bought it for $60.00), I have been using it daily, and enjoying using it. The netbook became much much faster! I also browse web, email, and work on documents (MS Office 2010). The battery life became better too! It was a great investment!

REM2000 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I did, very recently, i own a MSI U135DX and changed from a 160GB 5400RPM to a OCZ 60GB SSD, as others have said the difference is night and day, it really seems to unlock the machine. If possible try and cram as much ram as you can in, i managed to get mine up to 2GB, Also i recommend Windows 8, you can't run metro apps, but the increased performance and better battery life (the start screen i think works well on a netbook with a small screen, easy to click the icons) make it a worthwhile upgrade.

Aletheia Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 If you do install Windows 7, do not install MSE, but try to find lightest resource AV possible. I use Panda Cloud AV, and it does not bog down the netbook at all. Others prefer Immunet Cloud AV however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted February 9, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hello, You will see a definite improvement in both startup and shutdown speeds. General responsiveness on the desktop should be improved as well, although how much depends largely on what you are using the computer for. Unless you are a big fan of it, I would suggest disabling hibernation, as having it enabled means the creation of a HIBERFIL.SYS file about the same size as your RAM. On a hard disk drive that might be negligible, but if you are installing a smaller-sized SSD than you probably want every GB of space possible. The sleep option should still be available, and it does not consume any disk space. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted February 9, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted February 9, 2013 especially on something with low specs like a netbook you'll REALLY notice the improvement from a SSD :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
