How much faster will my computer be with an SSD?

An SSD upgrade dramatically improves computer performance. Boot times drop from 60–120 seconds to under 10 seconds. Programs open in a fraction of the time. File copying and application loading are 3–5x faster on an SSD compared to a traditional hard drive.

Is my data transferred to the new drive?

Yes. We clone your existing hard drive to the new SSD — all your files, programs, settings, and operating system are transferred. No reinstallation or data loss.

How long does an SSD upgrade take?

An SSD upgrade with data migration typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the amount of data being cloned.

My hard drive is making clicking sounds — can you save my data?

Clicking sounds from a hard drive indicate mechanical failure. Stop using the computer immediately and contact us. We perform data recovery from clicking and failing drives before replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much faster is an SSD compared to a hard drive?

Significantly faster. A typical laptop with an HDD boots in 3–5 minutes. After an SSD upgrade, the same laptop boots in 15–20 seconds. Program load times improve dramatically as well.

Will I lose my data during the upgrade?

No. We clone your existing drive to the new SSD before the swap. All your files, applications, and settings transfer automatically.

How much storage do I need?

Most users do well with 500GB to 1TB. If you work with video, photos, or large files, 1TB or 2TB may be more appropriate. We can advise based on your current usage.

My computer makes a clicking noise. Is that my hard drive?

Clicking from a hard drive is a serious warning sign called the 'click of death.' Bring your computer in immediately — data loss can happen at any time once this starts.

Can you upgrade the storage in a MacBook?

Older MacBooks (pre-2013) can often be upgraded. Newer MacBook models have storage soldered to the logic board, which requires specialized service. We'll assess your specific model.
