    Samsung ODD to SSD, HDD or USB 3.0

    In short, i want to replace the ODD with a 60GB SSD solely for sending my audio tracks to during recording and while editing WAV. files for less latency and faster write speeds. I care less for the read speeds at the moment. I need those write speeds faster than the 5,400 i have now.

    Samsung ODD to SSD, HDD or USB 3.0

    Where in HWinfo can i find the speeds capable where my current OOD is placed? I can see that my current HDD is Samsung SATA II but i do not know if that is as high as the motherboard will take. Regardless, your saying that a SSD will benefit over a 7,200/10k rpm HDD on a SATA II?

    Samsung ODD to SSD, HDD or USB 3.0

    How saturated? I have no clue what generation port I have. I need writing speeds to be at least as fast or faster than a 7,200 rpm HDD.

    Best light-gaming laptop under $500 dollars

    I have a Samsung NP305 that has the AMD A6-3420M Quad-Core and Radeon HD6520g. The Radeon HD 6520G is, without any doubt, better than the Intel HD 3000 graphics. I got the laptop for $500 but they are around $350 now. The Radeon HD6520g runs really well with "RAGE" and "Call of Duty" games...

    Samsung ODD to SSD, HDD or USB 3.0

    I currently have a Samsung NP305 with the AMD A6-3420M in which i just use as a dock now because the screen cracked. The laptop is used only for my music studio. I am upgrading the HDD to a SSD but also would love to see if i could turn the CD-Drive (ODD) into another SSD or possibly a USB 3.0...
