| 1157684 | 2010-12-01 03:29:00 | Hi All, If I have a laptop with an internal 320GB SATA II hard drive, can I remove this and install a SSD Drive? Does the laptop have to "support" SSD drives? Cheers. :illogical |

| 1157686 | 2010-12-01 04:28:00 | 1. Yes. 2. No. SSDs appear to the BIOS and OS as ordinary hard drives. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1157687 | 2010-12-01 08:52:00 | I thought so. Just wanted to check with team F1. Cheers. |

| 1157688 | 2010-12-01 11:51:00 | check to see how much GB your bios can read. the SSD's size may be bigger than your bios can read. | tombrownzz (16109) | ||
| 1157689 | 2010-12-01 18:52:00 | check to see how much GB your bios can read. the SSD's size may be bigger than your bios can read. Considering SSDs are generally smaller (in terms of capacity) than hard drives, that shouldn't be an issue. |

| 1157690 | 2010-12-01 20:47:00 | Yeah, If the BIOS can read a 320GB SATA, then I can't see it having an issue reading a 64GB or 128GB SSD that I'm looking to install. | GR8Metal (14133) | ||
| 1157691 | 2010-12-02 00:43:00 | theres an app i think is called SSDtweaker which you can tweak windows to suit the SSD drives. also just watch the speed of the SSD if its a OS drive. |
