Is there any minimum requirements of the processor before you can use this SSD drive in your laptop, i have a Intel Core i7 QM 720 processor, is it clever to buy this SSd drive for my laptop with this processor inside?

Sorry if this question sounds silly but i'm a noob...

@TheAslanDA There aren't any minimum specs to use this - even slow Atom based nettops systems benefit from an SSD. However more powerful processors will be able to make full use of the power of it. As the QM 720 is a very fast (laptop) CPU, yes a good SSD would make a *huge* difference in your case.

As you likely have SATA II (3Gb/s) rather than the new SATA III (6Gb/s) ports, either a Vertex 2 (not Vertex 3), or an Intel 320 series would be the best option for you :) All the best!

@mongohotline Thanx you so so much for such an informative reply! I truly appreciate this so much my friend! Thank you!!

@suopo34 Might have something to do with my not releasing videos beyond the three last year. I don't seek subscriptions, I'm a tech person who did some videos because they were the best way to demonstrate the abilities of SSD's, & I still did an unintendedly successful job. Quality not quantity lol?

re discussions, we had 2 pages of useful ones, followed by a 12 spam comments about music; I do enjoy trolling the latter.

[mongohotline]

@suopo34 unpopular? Well I do literally have a hundred times as many views as your videos. Then again I guess watching you be distinctly average at COD isn't all that fun. I think the music suits the video, sorry if you've heard it before, I hadn't lol.

Again, it isn't a music video - if some people don't like the music it's their business so long as they don't spam up the page with crap.
