[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1033019, member: 176704"] "Cheapish" SSD for the boot/OS drive and then use your old 1TB drive for data? That's sort of what I have done = "500GB" Evo 850 for the boot/OS partition with a 2nd partition for most of the apps, and then a new hybrid 1TB drive (in a caddy in the old DVD slot) with 3x partitions for data because the old one was 5yrs old and I didn't trust it anymore after a meltdown during the cloning exercise. Total cost (apart from the cost and anguish of the complete meltdown of the existing 1TB drive) was around £220. I now have a much faster laptop with 1.5TB of storage. [/QUOTE]
