Would you like your computer to have faster performance, lower energy consumption, reduced heat output and improved reliability — without the risk of a hard drive crash? Then upgrade to an internal Solid State Drive (SSD). Utilizing flash memory for data storage rather than the spinning platters found in conventional hard disk drives, an SSD is a great idea for anyone that wants a better computing experience without purchasing a new PC. Samsung, unique among SSD manufacturers, engineers all of its components in-house. This allows it to fine-tune its hardware and software for enhanced reliability. Coming in October, Samsung is offering the 830 Series SSD Kit, which is a safe and easy upgrade solution. The Kit includes Norton Ghost software which reduces the time it takes to upgrade to an SSD by 75 percent. That’s because Norton Ghost makes it so that there’s no need to reinstall applications, manually move data and reconfigure user settings. The kit includes a bracket for installing the 2.5” SSD drive in a 3.5” hard drive bay, all required cables and detailed instructions. The notebook upgrade kits include a USB to SATA adapter cable. The Samsung SSD 830 series will be available in capacities of 64, 128, 256 and 512GB.
