SSD vs HDD: Why Upgrading to SSD Will Transform Your Computer

Still using a traditional hard drive? You're missing out on one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. At SnapFix Repairs, SSD upgrades are our most popular service – and for good reason.

Speed Difference

SSDs are typically 5-10 times faster than traditional hard drives. This means your computer boots in seconds instead of minutes, programs open instantly, and file transfers happen in a flash.

Reliability Benefits

Unlike traditional drives with moving parts, SSDs have no mechanical components to break. They're more resistant to drops, vibrations, and wear over time.

Energy Efficiency

SSDs use less power than traditional drives, meaning better battery life for laptops and lower electricity bills for desktops.

Quiet Operation

SSDs are completely silent, eliminating the whirring and clicking sounds of traditional drives.

Common Concerns Addressed

"Are SSDs expensive?" – Prices have dropped dramatically. A basic SSD upgrade starts from £25 at SnapFix Repairs, including installation.

"Will I lose my data?" – We clone your existing drive, so everything transfers over exactly as it was.

Real-World Impact

Customers regularly tell us their "new" computer feels faster than when they first bought it, just from an SSD upgrade.

Getting Started

We offer free consultations to determine the right SSD size for your needs and budget. Most upgrades complete within 1-2 days.
