Hi all. Sorry for this extremely specific question.
I was looking to upgrade my Dell Insprion 2330 all-in-one PC to a solid state drive, to improve the performance. Firstly, does anyone know if this is this possible? If so, is it practical?
Currently I have the factory 2TB hard disk installed and it seems a shame to loose all that storage space. From what I have seen it may be possible to replace the blu-ray drive with an SSD instead? Primarily I would be looking to run my operating system and programs off of the SSD and then use the existing drive for the bulk of my storage. That being said I am not sure if I would want to loose my blu-ray player either! I don't use it all that much, but it is still nice to have it there.
I have seen someone online making the upgrade to another all-in-one where they effectively stick (double sided tape) the SSD to a free space in the compartment, using the input from the previously from the optical drive and then connect the optical to one of the USB ports, but this seems a bit risky and cumbersome to me?
I understand I may need to make some compromises to make the upgrade, so hopefully someone will be able to point me in the best direction and tell me whether it is really worth it. My PC doesn't run slow by any stretch, but from what I have seen it can make a big difference!
Thanks in advance.
