    Upgrade to SSD (Dell Inspiron 1545)

    Hello, I am currently looking into installing an SSD on my Dell Inspiron 1545 by performing a clone from my HDD. I've reviewed the pricing on some SSD's and they seem fair for what I'm looking for. However, I'm questioning if it is worth investing in an SSD upgrade, as the laptop is an older...
