I have just cleaned-up fan and made an SSD upgrade to Packard Bell EasyNote Q5WTC laptop.

Upgraded it with brand new Intel 540 Series 120GB SSD (SSDSC2KW120H6X1). Old HDD has crashed (too many bad/reallocated sectors).

Looks, like this old laptop just got younger for 2 or more years. Easy noticeable speed increase, significantly shorter OS Boot time. I have tested SSD speed at the end of video, take a look.

Impressive how performance grew up on this Intel Pentium budget laptop from Y2013. And it has only 2GB of RAM. Enough when You are using SSD.

The price of this SSD was about 54€ ($60) a couple of weeks ago. Today (2016 November 15th) it has a price tag with 76€($82). The reason of growth is unknown for me. But seems that price of SSD disks gets higher this month.

LIKE if helped or comment if didn't :)
