Why SSDs are so much faster

Understanding the difference between HDD and SSD:

No moving parts

HDDs have spinning platters and moving heads. SSDs are pure solid-state electronics - instant access to any data.

100x faster access

SSDs can access data in microseconds. HDDs take milliseconds to move their heads into position.

Parallel operations

SSDs can read and write multiple files simultaneously. HDDs must handle them one at a time.

More reliable

No moving parts means less wear and better resistance to bumps and drops.

Types of SSD upgrades

We match the right SSD type to your computer:

  • 2.5" SATA SSDs: Universal fit for most laptops and desktops
  • M.2 NVMe SSDs: Faster next-generation drives for newer computers
  • M.2 SATA SSDs: Compact form factor at SATA speeds
  • MacBook-specific SSDs: Compatible drives for upgradeable Macs

We'll check your computer and recommend the best option for maximum performance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an SSD upgrade cost?
An SSD upgrade starts from £95, including a 256GB drive, fitting and full data migration. Larger drives cost more — a 500GB–1TB upgrade with migration typically runs £140–£280 depending on capacity and your device. We confirm a fixed price before any work, and it’s usually the most cost-effective speed boost for an older computer.
How much faster will my computer be?
Dramatically faster. Boot times typically drop from 2-3 minutes to 15-30 seconds. Programs open almost instantly. Overall system responsiveness improves massively. It’s the single biggest performance upgrade you can make.
Will I lose any files or programs?
No. We clone your entire drive, so everything transfers exactly as it was - Windows, programs, files, settings, even your desktop wallpaper. You won’t need to reinstall anything.
What size SSD do I need?
We recommend getting at least as much space as you’re currently using, plus room to grow. 500GB suits most users. Power users or those with large media libraries may want 1TB or 2TB.
Can you upgrade a MacBook to SSD?
Most older MacBooks (pre-2016) can be upgraded. Newer MacBooks have soldered storage that can’t be replaced. We’ll check your specific model and advise on options.
Is it worth upgrading an old computer?
Often yes - an SSD can make a 5-10 year old computer feel new again. Combined with a RAM upgrade if needed, it’s much cheaper than buying new. We’ll give honest advice on whether it makes sense for your machine.
What happens to my old hard drive?
We give it back to you as a backup. You can keep it safe in case you ever need old files, or we can securely wipe and dispose of it for you.
Should I clone my drive or start fresh with a new SSD?
Both are options, and they suit different needs. A clone copies your existing drive exactly onto the new SSD — programs, settings and files all intact, nothing to reinstall — ideal if you’re happy with your setup and just want more space and speed. A fresh install gives you a clean slate, best when you want to clear out years of clutter or fix a misbehaving system. We did a full clone onto a 1TB SSD for an HP laptop in Hammersmith; we’ll advise which suits how you use the machine.
My computer won't boot — can an SSD still help, and can you save my data?
Often the slowdown and a failing hard drive are the same story, and a machine that’s stopped booting frequently has a tired drive behind it. If the old drive is still readable, we migrate your data across onto the new SSD; if it has failed, we’ll be honest about what can and can’t be recovered. Acting sooner is better — it’s far easier to move data cleanly onto an SSD while the old drive still works than after it dies.
Do you upgrade SSDs on both laptops and desktops?
Yes — laptops, desktops and all-in-ones. Most machines with a traditional hard drive, and many with a small or full SSD, can be upgraded to a larger, faster solid-state drive. Some very thin laptops and certain models have limitations we’ll check for. Bring it to our Putney workshop and we’ll confirm what your specific machine takes.
How long does an SSD upgrade take?
A straightforward SSD swap with a fresh operating system is often a same-day or next-day job once we have the drive. If we’re cloning a large drive, or recovering data from a failing one first, it can take longer — a struggling drive has to be read carefully and slowly to protect your files. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront.
