The hard rive on laptop is really slow, i was going to get a new bigger and faster ssd for desktop and transfer existing one to laptop but cannot afford at the moment. I could just get new hdd for £30 which would be 3 times as fast as the one in laptop now but then it seems like waste of money knowing that ssd from desktop will eventually make it to the laptop. Anyone who I helped with part numbers, diagrams or instructions or looking forward to it fancy a small donation towards new hdd?

anyway here is pdf for 2000 4.2 engine

SSD is great, till it dies without warning, and it will.... Google for it.

They're hugely fast, but dont store anything on there that you dont want to lose, or that you dont mind the tech guys looking at whilst they're examining your disc for the warranty claim...

And unlike a normal disc that just gets few bad sectors and you can still pick through, these just roll over and die, the bios wont even see it, so dont think you'll have any chance to save anything.

Yes, bitter experience talking here...

Much as it pains me, I have to agree with Ian

Unless you really want to push the boat out and go for some Enterprise Flash disks, even then I'd still want them at least mirrored.

1TB SSD?.. You must have very deep pockets it probably costs more then all PC's together in my house. And only 4GB RAM, surely you could afford to put in more, I have 4GB in my main PC and I do run out of RAM every now and then. I did have 6GB and sold 2GB to make room for 8GB but prices have gone up at that time and I haven't managed to get another 4GB even so prices have come down again.

Reliability is problem with many new things. That's why you do not buy the latest that just came out but wait for at least half year for others to be guinea pigs and allow time for the manufactures to even out bumps and sort out firmware and check reviews before buying, not all are bad.

I do have 80GB Intel 1st gen ssd in PC, I bought it second hand on e-bay when 2nd generation came out and have been using it for over 1.5 years now without problems. It's only for Windows and frequently used programs rest is on hdd, I also do regular backpups of system and data that I would not like to loose on external hdd.

The plan is to move 80 GB ssd from PC to laptop and to get new bigger and faster one for PC.
