[QUOTE="VAMountaineer, post: 1544549, member: 312336"] sorry --looks like i confused more than helped.. sorry. 1. i'd recommend getting the SSDH (hybrid drive) -- they're ~$100 on amazon. what I meant by all the gibberish about SSD vs SSHD is more for the gearheads... You'd see a massive advantage of EITHER ONE over your current drive.. But (IMHO) the jump to a $500 drive over a $100 SSHD isn't going to be pay off on your system... 2. you need to pull your battery connection (and press the power button a few times) to discharge your machine PRIOR to removing your old HDD.. Otherwise you'll blow the harness.. hope that helps.. [/QUOTE]
