    [SOLVED] Can I fit an M2 SATA SSD directly in my laptop's SATA 3 HDD slot?

    I'm upgrading my laptop and instead of using a 120 GB Crucial BX500 SSD in place of the current HDD as a boot disk, I wanted to use an m2 SATA SSD. I understand some say the SATA 3 bus will limit the speeds of both to 6 gbps. However, I just need to know if I can plug an M2 120 gb SATA SSD...

    So, any of these brands will do for either 120/240 versions? Is there a slight preference for one over the other? I get the impression Crucial is trusted and Team Group is also good? I just need to narrow it down to a reliable/fast one for either the 120 or 240 odd GB ones.... tks again.

    Wow... tks. that's really detailed. A lot of it was beyond me. So, the Maxtor Z1 and L3 EVO are a good choice judging by the r/w speeds then? As is the Giganyte too?

    What do you think of the Team Group L3 EVO? Is this the same brand as Team GX2? Seagate Maxtor Z1 240GB 2.5inch SATA SSD ? One of the things I'm keen on is also power savings since, I'm replacing the laptop's battery too. So, I need a power efficient SSD? Tks.

    Ok, I understand the diff bet 120 and 240 these days. However, is there a very large difference between 3d TLC and 2d MLC?

    MLC drives mostly begin with higher capacities, i assumed? I couldn;t find em on amazon mainly 240 and above and are anyway more expensive. I'm guessing NAND is the std with 120GB drives. Is HP good? I've not had a good exp with that brand. What about Sandisk, Kingston? If you feel Crucial...

    [SOLVED] Dell Inspiron 3421 user manual states DDR3 1600 DIMM RAM?

    Just to be clear you're calling it SODIMM. The manual and website pics I compared all call it DIMM. What am I missing or is it that, laptops simply cannot take DIMM?
