SSD recommendations with a twist

[Cpeden7]

Hello there everyone! Quick question here.

I am considering placing an SSD into my laptop I have heard it will increase speed and performance. So I was just wondering any reccomendations on brand and size? since this will be my main hard drive I was thinking 250? Any and all advice will help.

Also side note any good suggestions on a universal laptop docking station I've looked into pluggable and others just wondering thanks!

I love the samsung evo's. I have multiple sizes but the bigger the better! Not sure on the docking station. Doubt they make universal.

Do you think 250 will be enough?

As long as you don't put a zillion photos and videos on it you will have plenty of storage for your OS, programs and a good assortment of games, if your laptop can even play games. I have a 120Gb in my Asus laptop. I don't game on it and it's not even half full but has the programs I want on it. 250Gb is a lot of storage. Just don't waste space with stupid stuff.
