[QUOTE="Aldebaran, post: 75930716, member: 251418"] But I'd have to buy a separate SSD to put in there, and that would more than make up for whatever savings there might be. Also, aren't laptops made to where they're not easily serviceable anymore? On my old Toshiba, I was able to easily swap the old hard drive that died and replaced it with a new one, but I heard that it's no longer that simple. They're made now so that manufacturers have to do the work. As for the point that I "never really know what has been on that disk", wouldn't it be sufficient for me to just do a cleanup of whatever isn't related to the OS? I could even use a program such as Recuva to check for "deleted" items and then clean those out. Maybe even use Bleachbit to do a cleaning of the drive's free space. [/QUOTE]
