Ragdd Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Some SSD's come with clone software (like the Plextor and Samsung SSD's).The best clone software is the OEM version of Acronic Trueimage that comes with the Plextor SSD because the cloning happens outside your Windows environment in a sort of DOS environment.The Samsung clone software happens in Windows itself and I had some problems with files in use that cannot be cloned like antivirus during the cloning.Another good option is Norton Ghost (commercial) or HDClone (freeware/commercial).

Paft Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Your notebook is really old, 2006. I don't think it would be worth it. Yes, bootups would be quicker and general use would very slightly improve but the system will still feel slow.Transferring your OS is a bad thing to do also. Back up your stuff and start fresh.Conclusion: Buying a SSD for a 2006 notebook is not worth it. I would suggest formatting and using "Windows XP Pro Performance Edition Dec 2009" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paft Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Ah yes, I didn't even check that. I assumed it would be SATA. Edit: It's been a long time since I've seen ATA. Forgot about it almost. :)No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiLmEgZ Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 All the new stuff is on SATA/ATA ports now pretty much, INCLUDING your optical drives now (and you probably didn't even know that ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
