Thinking of upgrading my laptop to an SSD..
Go to solution
Solved by ShadowCaptain,
Hi,
I have a laptop (packard bell easynote tm94-rb-021uk) and wondering how I'd upgrade to an SSD.
1. Do laptops use 2.5" bays for Hard Drives etc. ?
2. Do they use SATA? If so, are the SSD backwards compatible, as I presume my laptop wouldn't have SATA III?
3. How would I install Ubuntu off the BIOS into the SSD?
The SSD I'm looking at is a pretty boring 840 EVO 240GB (all I need for HW)
1) yes
2)yes, yes, doenst matter
3) Sorry what? Off the BIOS?, you can install Ubuntu off a usb stick, or you could use samsung software to a mirror copy of your current hard drive onto the SSD so that you do not have to install anything
