Hi, First of all a very warm and happy Holi to all dimers. I want a suggestion from you guys about which SSD should I buy for my "Samsung laptop NP300 e5z " it’s 2012 model laptop with windows 7 installed and it has intel i3 processor.
It has become very slow lately.
Please suggest guys. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ans play safe. ✨ 
Your laptop uses 2.5" 9.5mm SATA Drive. Any 2.5" SATA SSD should work (Samsung 870 Evo, Crucial MX500). As there’s only one storage slot, may be its better to opt for 500GB variant
Also, its a 2012 model. Replacing HDD with an SSD makes things a bit better but i5 2450M + Intel HD3000 is pretty slow compared to current gen tech

I have lenovo ideapad 510. Can you suggest me as well please
Same suggestion, go with 870 Evo or MX500
Lenovo used a shitty 5400rpm drive on ideapad 510, its performance is worse than many external hard drives

Yes it is
The laptop has got a new life after the SSD upgrade.
@ Op – you can also think of a different OS, may be LXLE or Chrome OS flex. Try first from a bootable USB.
