Why you should convert to a SSD

Are you the victim of slow spinning discs? 

Sounds horrible, doesn't it. What this really means is that if your computer has a traditional hard drive in it, the computer needs to wait for the hard drive to rotate to access files, which causes delays. Just like an older record player.

The good news is that most computers can be upgraded to a Solid State Disk (SSD), which removes this bottleneck and can make your whole computer experience speedier and save you time during the day. They are also smaller so the advantage being that they will fit into a smaller case. Making the perfect for classroom or a reception. 

We at iseek ran a trial with 2 brand new notebooks. We upgraded one of the identical notebooks with an SSD, the other we left standard. Straight out of the box. Then we ran some industry standard benchmark tests. 

What we found was that over a 35 minute period of testing, the SSD equipped notebook was 5 minutes quicker. Not 5 times, not 5 millisecond, 5 minutes!  

Pffff you say. That’s not actually that much! 

But if you do the math with it, 5 minutes in every half hour across a day is about 80 minutes per day. On a brand new computer, the difference was nearly an hour and a half of productive time PER DAY! Just by changing to an SSD. Eliminating rotational discs and upgrading to the latest technology avalible. 

Imagine for a moment what you could do with 80 extra minutes per day, then give your local computer store a call and talk about Solid State drives.
