You've got me thinking now Mark...
How do you know which SSD is compatible with which laptop?
I don't see anything on the listing. I have an HP 15 (Intel Series).

All the laptops I have purchased in the past 10 or so years have a 2.5" SATA drive in them.Originally Posted by McCreed
So a 2.5" drive with SATA connections should fit.
Pull the cover off your laptop and check it out.
cheers, Mark.
OK thanks. Opening any computer is unexplored territory for me though.
I'll research and think about it.
Cheers

Have you got a model number / part number for your laptop? The newer HP laptops use an M2 SSD rather than 2.5".
Methinks McCreed's laptop is neither (new nor that it contains an SSD).

Ah yes, good point!
Might be worth thinking about some new valves for it as well.
SSDs are definitely the way to go, I've got four 1Tb Samsung 2.5 inch SSDs installed in my studio desktop pc, if your laptop has a 2.5 inch conventional HDD in it that's connected to the motherboard via a Sata cable, you should just be able to take the old 2.5 inch HDD out and pop-in a new 2.5 inch SSD drive, and it should work fine after you've formatted it, the benefit of going with a 2.5 inch SSD is that you'll get faster read/write times which will boost the performance of your laptop a bit.
Check out this website if you're interested in ordering a new 2.5 inch SSD online from them:

This is the same company I ordered my four SSDs from online.
I checked and my Lenovo E530 is 8 years old yet runs Sonar X2 as fast as a desktop.
cheers, Mark.
Maybe I should started a new thread for this!
Still weighing the options. Either way it's a huge PITA IMO. Even though I have decent backups there's a whole lot of stuffing around in restoration/recovery that will need to be done.
Laptop is 6 years old.
