SSD's are 2.5"

Posted

Hi guys!

 

I'm looking to replace the HDD in my laptop with an SDD because the slowness is driving me crazy.

Now first of all I ran DiskInfo on my laptop and saw that the connection is SATA 3.0GB (Sata 2), I just want to make sure that a SATA 6.0GB (Sata 3) ssd will work in my laptop?

 

And then my second question is to help me choose between 3 ssd's. The place where I get all my computer stuff has 3x 120GB SSD's all for about the same price, and I've read on a lot of forums that all of them are pretty much the best. So now I just have to choose between the 3.

 

They are:

 

1. Adata Premier Pro SP900 128GB

2. Corsair Force LS 120GB

3. Samsung 850 EVO 120GB

 

I like the Samsung 850 EVO the most as it has a 5 year warranty (2 more than the rest) and everyone only has good things to say about it. So what do you guys think?

 

P.s Do I have to get a special bracket or spacer for the ssd or is it the same size as the 2.5 HDD that I have now?

 

Thanks a lot in advance!
