Consequently, SSDs are also unsuitable for very old operating systems prior to Windows 7, because they lack important functions for an SSD (e.g. the TRIM command). Physically, the space in the case is the deciding factor for a No or Go, because especially in laptops this can become a limiting factor. In this case you should check whether you might have to fall back on a special form factor (e.g. mSATA or M.2).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_158531\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-158531\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-Modelle-Formfaktoren.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-158531\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-Modelle-Formfaktoren-780x519.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-Modelle-Formfaktoren-780x519.jpg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-Modelle-Formfaktoren-390x259.jpg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-Modelle-Formfaktoren-220x146.jpg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-Modelle-Formfaktoren-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-Modelle-Formfaktoren-1320x878.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SSD-Modelle-Formfaktoren.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-158531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SSD model form factors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"booting-20-%e2%80%93-ssds-increase-the-working-speed\"><\/span>Booting 2.0 &#8211; SSDs increase the working speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>SSDs are not considered system turbo-boosters for no reason, because the flash technology used provides amazing speed gains. Instead of rotating magnetic disks and read-write heads, SSDs work with flash chips and a built-in controller that writes data to the memory cells using a special algorithm &#8211; with almost no loss of time. Once the operating system is installed on the SSD, it is booted in seconds. A simple and reasonably priced SATA SSD is already sufficient to achieve significant acceleration.

The best, cheapest and most sensible hard disk combination is an SSD as a system disk (for normal use 256 GB are completely sufficient) and an HDD for data storage (music, videos, games etc.). First of all, however, it must be checked how large the slot in the case is and whether the operating system with its interfaces is even SSD-compatible. Laptop users especially benefit from the data storage because SSDs are less sensitive to shocks and require less power than conventional hard disks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_158532\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-158532\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Upgrade-auf-SSD.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-158532\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Upgrade-auf-SSD-780x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Upgrade-auf-SSD-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Upgrade-auf-SSD-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Upgrade-auf-SSD-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Upgrade-auf-SSD-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Upgrade-auf-SSD-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Upgrade-auf-SSD.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-158532\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Upgrade to SSD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basically, an SSD drive always makes sense because it offers many advantages and drastically increases the operating speed of PCs and laptops.
