Revive Your Slow Computer with a Solid State Drive | Y-Not Tech Services – Lethbridge, AB Computer Repair

Revive Your Slow Computer with a Solid State Drive | Y-Not Tech Services - Lethbridge, AB Computer Repair
Revive Your Slow Computer with a Solid State Drive

Old age creeps up slowly – unless we’re talking about a computer.

Then it seems to happen overnight and with a vengeance! One day you’re logging in normally and jumping straight into the action, the next day booting up takes so long you not only have time to make a cup of coffee, you could have run out to the local café for the good stuff.

This is the stage where many folks throw their hands in the air and start wishing for a new computer. Except your machine isn’t broken and it doesn’t need replacing, it’s just….slow. Slower than a turtle moving through molasses in January. Like any machine, computers have parts that wear out – especially if they have moving parts that are in near-constant use.

The hard drive is the #1 cause of speed bottlenecks in most computers. Traditional hard drives are made up of a stack of circular magnetic platters, whirling around at up to 7200rpms, while a read/write head on a mechanical arm moves back and forth. Eventually, the platters take longer to spin up, unable to reach full throttle, and the mechanical arm becomes sluggish. Which leaves you waiting. And waiting…

SSD’s Can Give Aging Computers A New Lease on Life.

The new era of hard drives is here with Solid State Drives – and they have no moving parts. Zero.

They’re actually a lot like your USB stick that regularly takes a beating but still performs excellently.

Making a simple upgrade to SSD can knock minutes (an eternity) off boot time, and streamlines regular computer operations with rapid-fire functionality. They’re:

  • Cool – Don’t produce heat, which means other parts also run more efficiently
  • Durable – No moving parts to wear out
  • Compact – A little larger and thicker than a credit card
  • Long-lasting – You’re really more likely to replace your entire system before the SSD wears out
  • Lightning fast – Data is accessed instantly
  • Suitable for all systems– laptop, desktop and even netbook

Upgrading your weak hard drive to a super-fast SSD can usually be done within one day. For only $179, we will provide and install a 250GB SSD for you, as well as clone your current hard drive to it (Windows, programs and data).  Or if you would like a new SSD with a clean Windows installation (optimum speed boost), we can absolutely hook you up. Normally $279, as a special offer this is available for only $199.

Book your SSD upgrade today.

(someone else can watch the kettle boil tomorrow)
