Need help/opinions please

So ive had my current laptop for around 4 years now and i feel its time to step up the performance with a ssd.

So i was wondering what ssd would others recommend to upgrade it with?

The laptop is a toshiba satellite l775d-s7340 I picked it up for around 200 bucks when the staples in my town went out of business so I couldnt beat the price.

Also if there are any other recommendations to help with performance I would love to hear those aswell.

Its my work Pc aswell as my everyday laptop at home so it gets used very frequently.

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

What size are you looking for? A 512 GB laptop SSD is probably going to run you more than you actually paid for the computer.

If you have 4 GB or less of ram then try and upgrade that also don't waste money on a high end ssd as you probably will only have sata2 3Gbps on a 4 year old laptop. Just get the best value per gb ssd as they are all much faster than a hdd especially in a laptop as they have cheap and unreliable 2.5" drives.

I didnt plan on going too big just enough to hold my work programs and maybe a few games.

I store all my media and other things like that on a network drive on my home network and flash drives for work items.

I have 6gb of ram in the laptop but I was thinking about trying to go to 8gb.
