Why upgrade HDD to SSD ?
An upgrade of internal HDD to SSD will fix existing issues and improve computer speed up to 10 times! Upgrade will improve most operations but not computing speed. That is determined by a CPU. Everyday functions such as browsing the internet or working with documents will improve. That applies to PCs. There are few Macs that would benefit from the upgrade. That is because Macs have been using SSDs since 2008.
Prices do not include labour to install them and transfer system and data, which varies from 30 min to a few hours. In any case, the price of the upgrade is less than buying a new computer. An office computer usually needs only a 250Gb drive.
