There's not that much performance difference between SSD's, but it's easy to check reviews.
However, a 1TB SSD is expensive. If 256 or 512 GB would be feasible given your use of the laptop, I'd do that.
I would like to upgrade my Asus Q552UB laptop HDD (HGST 5400 rpm 1Tb.Sata 6 Gb/s) to a SSD! what would be a good choice to speed it up? thanks SMS.
