I visited a computer shop and enquired about new SSD with installation in my laptop (as my hdd is dead almost).
He said , he will charge 3-3.5k for simmtronix ssd 500gb with installation and windows.
I asked about crucial he said all are same and every brand offers 2-3 years warranty, i said crucial gives 5 year.
He said , jo available hogi lga denge (par shayad uske pass simmtronix he hai).

I asked ,what if i bring my own ssd crucial then how much will be the charges, he said laptop pura kholna padega so 1k he will charge.


Now m left with few queries:
1- if i purchase my own ssd it will cost me around 2800 online + installation 1k costs me total 4k (round figure) for 500gb.
2- if i go with him, he will take 3-3.5k  and install simmtronix(no reviews so far).
3- buy online and try to self install(risky but eill save some bucks).

Ssd installation is easy. Search on youtube for tutorial to install on your laptop.

Plus buy https://amzn.eu/d/j...gg this to use your current hard disk in cd slot as extra storage. As for ssd, you can buy kingston or crucial or wd whichever is cheaper, they will all work the same and no issues in any of them. Dm if you need more help. Ps - 3.3k is not that high for the convince you will be getting, because replace krna, windows install karna vagera ka jhanjhat sab nahi lena prefer krte. But make sure he is installing a trusted brand ssd

Opening laptop is not so complicated specially some model's/brands makes swapping of rams/hdd super easy.

If there's a dvd drive there I guess you can leave your hdd in there & install a ssd in caddy yourself.

They're having a reasonable price. One year before, when I asked a local shopkeeper in the computer market, he is asking 4k for the installation 240 GB WD Green SSD and caddy with Windows and software. I'm still searching for a good deal on SSDs to install it myself, last time I booked 1 TB Crucial MX500 for 3.5k but it got cancelled.

Do it yourself. It's very easy. Buy Crucial BX 500 or MX 500. They are one of the best in market. Go to onlyssd, mdcomputers, vishal peripherals or you can go to pcpricetracker to compare price from all websites. All SSDs are not same. Some brands are bettter. I recommend Samsung or Crucial.

Go with 3 if you want to save money. It's not that hard to replace hdd with SSD if you know what you're doing.

Depends on the laptop as well, some are harder to replace, some have a plug and play kinda thing.

Edit: looks like I'm late to the party

Yes, caddy for internal use.

You'll need an enclosure to use it as an external drive, that's all.

That's awesome.

More than saving money you learnt a lot I'm sure.

That knowledge is worth more smile

Also, once you go SSD, you can never go back smiley
