HP ProBook 6570b SSD Upgarde

[Dego]

Hi

I have done some research and to improve the performance of my machine I am proposing to move my current hard drive to the optical drive slot using a HDD Caddy, can someone recommend one please. And fit a new 250gb SSD Drive where the hard drive was.

I plan to do the work myself. Can someone list the steps that I need to follow to clone my current hard drive. My current Hard Drive is 340gb but only using 200gb.

IWhat SSD should I buy?

Thanks in advcance for your help

All standard 2.5" SSD's for laptops/notebooks will work. Please use the following compatible SSD's

    https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/probook-6570b/CT11295085   (250GB)

    https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/probook-6570b/CT11322846   (500GB)

You can use free software to clone

What I normally do:

(a) Mount new SSD to an USB enclosure,

(b) Cole HDD to SSD,

(c) Swap them

Now you can use old HDD as an external HDD or put to a caddy as your plan
