Adding SSD Notebook from DEXP
Before the crazy fall of the ruble, I managed to buy myself a new laptop. When choosing a model, he pursued the following goal: maximum performance for minimal money.
However, like most people. I settled on the models of the company DNS (solid China, anyway). One of the divisions of DNS is DEXP and I have one of these laptops. I don’t feel injured. In August of last year, I purchased the DEXP Atlas H118 Model
Basic TTX:
- Core i5 4210M
- DDR3 1333 MHz 4 GB
- nVidia GeForce 840M
- 15.6 "1366x768
The low price was also due to the lack of an OS.
When I chose a model to buy, I came across a DEXP Atlas H107. The percentage is weaker, but ssd is installed. I emphasize that the SSD is installed in conjunction with the HDD and drive. The case with my laptop is similar, which prompted me to buy an SSD.
To get started, I got into the body of my laptop:
I saw the mSata connector for SSD.
The hard drive of my computer was the weakest link in the system + noisy and popping (the feeling that cockroaches were picking inside). Comp sometimes paused, slowed down. Task Manager showed 100% load of the screw.
Purchase
I started to search. I’m starting my search in the GearBest store. Yes, I buy there, imagine? yes for my money yet. After receiving the parcels, I write reviews, sometimes I take reviews. According to the well-known instructions available on the network, I once received points. And now it's time to use them.
I hammered into the search for mSATA and ...
There were only adapters and cases. Stop. I do not believe that ssd format msata are not available on the site.
I change the search query to SSD.
I started to dig. On the first page I saw the SSD of the form factor I needed. KingDian M200.
I remembered that I had seen more than one positive review from this manufacturer. Changed the search query. I saw a series of mSata M-series drives.
I decided to take the M400Pro, because very attractive work speeds were indicated: Maximum read and write speed: 535 MB / s, 441 MB / s. The question arose: how much? 120 or 240?
Estimated my needs:
- Windows - 20 - 30 GB.
- A set of programs - 20 GB.
- Material for an active review of 10 GB.
- A couple of games - 30 - 40 GB.
Total: 100 GB.
For adequate operation of the SSD requires 30-40% of free space. It turns out almost end-to-end, if you trim your desires. I thought for a long time, but decided to take 240 GB. Threw off $ 20 points and began to wait for the order.
