Hello all,
Recently my IT team has been assigned with the task of providing a list of upgrades needed for all employee-PCs at my firm (about 20 employees). The PCs are mostly old standard Dell machines with the following specs:
For me it's very clear that the SSD is not going to have the same performance as if the files were all saved locally in our machines, but I'm very skeptical about their argument that this upgrade is not going to help our PCs' performance at all. I can imagine this idea being totally worth the money only because of the faster boot speed or faster Windows/MS Office navigation (and I'm not even considering that SSDs are way cheaper today). Is my intuition right in this matter?
Thanks and cheers.
