[QUOTE="SODworks, post: 1562944, member: 314146"] Ok, so here is the result!: Did pretty much what I saw on youtube. Removed the LCD Panel and replaced the 1TB 3.5” HDD with the 960GB SSD from crucial. The only hard part was putting it back together again as I did not want the LCD Panel to pop out by a millimetre or two like I saw in some videos. Got it in the end ;) As RavingMac mentioned earlier, an external SSD will be limited on it’s read and write speeds via USB. The end result after everything was connected and powered up was this: 1TB HDD 7200RPM - As seen on the post above, roughly 120mb/s read and write speeds. 960GB SSD from Crucial - an amazing 430mb/s write and 490mb/s read. I’m really happy with this result. As I live in Germany, the price is in €. The 960GB SSD from crucial cost me 420€. If you guys have any questions, the just ask :) [ATTACH=full]20011[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
