is the notebook computer the same as the solid state drive of the desktop?

Does the laptop have the same solid state drive as the desktop? This is a question that many netizens ask. With many DIY computers and notebook users have used SSD solid-state hard drives, many netizens also on the desktop and notebook solid-state hard disk is the same doubt.

The answer is the same, in the market only these several brands of solid state drives (Samsung, Kingston, Flash di, Taiwan power, Kim Terry ...), These solid-state hard disks are mostly 2.5 inches, the same size as the hard disk built into the notebook, but smaller than the average 3.5-inch mechanical hard drive, but compatible with laptops and desktops, and the same performance.

A picture of the difference between a mechanical hard drive and a solid-state drive

Of course, laptops and desktop users will have the same SDD, the overall experience may be different, the same configuration on the notebook and on the desktop, the difference is very large, depending on the performance of notebook and desktop computers.

　　Take an example:

HP CQ40 series, Hewlett-Packard is the most classic one (although it is outdated)

CPU Model: Intel Core 2 Duo T6600

CPU Frequency: 2.2GHz

Memory: Second generation 2GB memory (single)

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce G 103M

Video Memory: 512MB

Hard drive: 320GB

Speed: 5400 (notebook hard drive very few 7200)

There's an old desktop in the house, so compare it to it.

CPU Model: Intel Celeron Dual Core B810 (this model is about the same as the laptop CPU)

CPU Frequency: 1.6GHz

Memory: Second generation 2GB (single)

Graphics card: ATI mobility Radeon HD 4350

Video Memory: 512MB

Hard drive: 500GB

Speed: 5400

This configuration is now a super garbage configuration, the low can not be lower, but I think since to play the performance of solid-state hard disk, this configuration is the most suitable,

It is said that solid-state drives can speed up, how to speed up? How much faster? This language I do not know how to say, put on the hard drive can see the change is the boot speed, followed by the opening of the Web page is time, no one to play the page to calculate, I do not know how to calculate, only the test in person to try out, Let me say that these two configurations are replaced with solid state drives and the boot speed before the hard drive is changed: Desktop is used in the home, more familiar with the average boot time 1分钟40秒 about, and then is CQ40, because I am a notebook, see this machine more, boot almost 1 minutes 30 seconds, are replaced with solid-state drives, the first boot on the system is the desktop 35 seconds, notebook 46 seconds.

All shutdown reboot, try more times, desktop average 23 seconds or so, notebook 35 seconds or so, but the page is still not fast, just boot speed, the general configuration of this is not recommended for solid, whether it is a desktop or notebook, in addition to the boot speed can feel a significant difference, from the use of the view, There's no obvious difference, it's just a contrast.

Does the laptop have the same solid state drive as the desktop? I believe you have read the above answers, already have the answer. The current mainstream SSD uses SATA3.0 interface, all is 2.5 inches, not only can compatible notebook, also compatible desktop, the only need to note is, Only the computer board support SATA3.0 can play the best performance of solid-state drives, if the notebook or desktop computer is older, only support SATA2.0 hard drive interface, although the use of solid-state hard drives, can also speed up some, but cannot ship the best performance of solid-state drives, so generally too old computer, not recommended to upgrade SSDs .
