Hello, 

 

i'd like to upgrade my notebook HDD to SSD drive but I had some issues with that. When I tried to switch for SSD and installed windows I kept getting bluescreen with corrupted driver. Non the less, when I tried to download and install driver for exact SSD drive I got message, that driver is not compatible with my notebook.

I know I have only SATA II here but I thing that SSD may still improove performance a lot. 

 

Can you maybe recommend SSD brand that will be accepted with my notebook? 

 

Thnaks 🙂
