1TB SATA SSD

ssd is absolutely the way to go for that pavilion. i did the same on my 2018 model and it felt like a new machine. for under 300 bucks you can get a solid 1tb drive like the Crucial MX500 SATA SSD. that drive will make boot times and app loading way faster. just clone your current drive before swapp

i think the crucial mx500 is a good choice but keep in mind its a sata ssd, so it will be a bit slower than NVMe ones but definiately usable for programming and other general usage. Also you mention you know nothing so are you sure you can open the laptop up and install the SSD? if not don't risk it

I just grabbed one off of eBay, $49. My entire eufy system with 2-S330 and 2-S3Pro just got Turbo Charged!!! Or maybe it's just working like it's supposed to. I switched out the 1TB HDD with a Crucial BX500 1TB SSD. Cameras come on in about 1 second, spot light and alarm turn on and off within a sec

Ich werde nicht Spiele hin und her installieren um Ladezeiten zu messen, allerdings ist es schon deutlich spürbar. Lese- und Schreibgeschwindigkeiten habe ich gemessen mit 7,2 GBit/s (lesen) und 3,2 GBit/s (schreiben) mit einer Datei von 40GB Größe. Verbaut sind zwei Crucial MX500 2TB SSDs.

This would be fine for an older or slower SATA HDD.... or a USB drive depending on the efficiency of the interface. By modern SSD standards, this is very sluggish. The last SATA SSD I bench marked was about 2.8x faster than these numbers (the below was from a Crucial BX500 1 TB SATA SSD Drive). . [R

you can absolutely use ssds, just need 2.5 to 3.5 adapters like the sabrent or icy dock ones. they're cheap and screw right into the trays. for drives grab samsung 870 evo or crucial mx500 - both are reliable and have power loss protection which matters for nas. hdds aren't as fragile as you think t
