Need to replace my hard drive with a SSD and I'm bad at PC

[Zangu]

i got a TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 that broke down. What SSD is usually compatible with the same PC pieces as that one? I'm trying to get a SSD compatible to replace it.
Please help, Thanks.

Any SATA 3 SSD will be compatible, it uses the same connections etc as your HDD did.

Capacity is where SSDs become a bit of an issue, replacing a 1TB HDD is in the $50-$70 range generally. Even the most basic 1TB SSD is in the $250-$400 range

You'd be looking at something in the 250GB for a reasonable price (generally $100 or a little less).

I like A-DATA SP550 for 'budget' SSDs.
Can have a 240GB at $64 currently

That's a standard 3.5" SATA desktop drive. So any SATA SSD will work fine as a replacement.
