replacing HDD with SSD

[Noah_Gamer]

My HDD is 6 years old now and is getting real slow (I can make whole breakfast till it boots up)
Here is Benchmark of my HDD (Btw it's 1TB):
READ:MB/S WRITE:MB/S
Seq Q32T1 135.2 129.0
4K Q32T1 0.589 0.899
Seq 137.4 126.5
4K 0.423 0.851
I want to replace it with Crucial MX300 275GB SSD (Yes it's enough for me I counted)
Is it worth it and is it a good idea?

Replacing the system boot hard drive with an SSD is almost always a good idea as the PC will boot in to the OS much faster.
Any apps installed on it will also start up faster.

Buy the highest capacity SSD you can afford, especially if it's for a laptop (ie you can't install a second drive for storage) because it will fill up fast if it has to hold everything both now and in the future.

Oh yeah I'm installing it to PC and it's just games load slow i have to wait like 3 min to Pc to load and like 3 more mins till i can use it normally cause' when it's on it says HDD is 100% usage even if all apps use only like 0.6Mb/s

Highest I can afford is Crucial MX300 with 275GB storage

Those speed tests on.that HDD aren't 'that' slow.

Yes the mx300 is a very good drive , it'll no doubt make a big difference.

Have to ask are you on the latest win 10 anniversary ??
I've had massive issues with 100% disk usage till 5 minutes after boot
Sorted now with a lot of tweaking but I had massive issues before I did.

 

[Noah_Gamer]

I don't know, I'm using Windows 10 Pro. And I was having this problem for a long time now (maybe a year)

Btw: Do you have any suggestion where I could get all drivers? Cause' If I gonna reinstall windows I will need drivers.

 

[Phillip Corcoran]

You get the drivers from:

Factory-built PC: from the PC maker's website.
Custom-built PC: from the motherboard maker's website.
Laptop: from the laptop maker's website.

For any add-on cards (eg GPU): from that card manufacturer's website.
