Desktop computers have a very long useful life since we can replace the components or add new ones in a very simple way. In the case of laptops, the options for expansion or modification are reduced to extending the memory and the storage unit. If our PC has been thinking about retirement for a while, but we can’t afford it, we can give it an incentive to extend its useful life for a few more years by changing the hard drive for an SSD.
In this way, the time it takes Windows to start, as well as the time it takes to open any application, will be considerably reduced, giving the feeling of being a completely new computer, and without the need to expand the RAM. Best of all, we can give you a new life to our old computer from just 15 euros depending on the storage capacity we are looking for.
SSD up to 256GB
If our budget is not very high and we plan to use the SSD to install Windows and the applications that we need, storing all the data on the hard drive that we currently use, an excellent option to consider is the 128 GB Lexar SSD, an SSD costs only €14.49 and whose average rating is 4.5 out of 5 stars after receiving more than 5,700 ratings. This SSD currently has a 15% discount on its regular price.
For just 5 euros more, Amazon offers us the 256 GB storage model, a model that is currently also at a 14% discount, its final price being just €18.99. This model, like the previous one, has a SATA III connection and offers us a maximum reading speed of up to 550 MB/s and we can install them on both desktop computers and laptops.
SSD drives from 256 GB
The veteran manufacturer of storage devices, Kingston, puts at our disposal a model with 480 GB, a model that is currently one of the SSDs recommended by Amazon, has an average rating of 4.7 stars out of 5 possible after receiving more than 180,000 opinions, so we are not going to be wrong with this model, a model that is also in its historical minimum pricestanding at only 30.10 euros, when its usual price is 73.99 euros, which represents a 56% discount.
But, if the 480 GB falls short, Kingston also offers us a model with up to 960 GB of storage, a model that is currently also available with an interesting 58% discount, its final price being only 58 euro, dropping from the usual 136.99 euros.
