SSD for Sony Vaio SVT13126CGS

Aug 30, 2018 11:37PM PDT

I am looking to upgrade my Ultrabook Sony Vaio SVT13126CGS storage.
I have been surfing for a while and found a Sony SSD product "Sony SSD SLW-MG4".
I wonder if this device fit in my ultrabook and work perfectly as internal storage?

Please guide me.
Thanks very much.

I expect no problems with the SATA-interface and the power. If it fits, depend on the size of the current storage device. It should be the same.
Take your laptop with you to the shop and let them show it fits.

Such a USB need not be a Sony. A Kingston or Samsung could be used just as well.

If you "understand nothing about computer" I wouldn't advice you to install it yourself. It's a 2 step process: (1) clone, (2) replace. So better bring it to a shop to have it done. The added advantage is that they can advice you about what to buy.

Inconvenient

I do understand I need to bring it to shop and shouldn't install it myself.
However, I live in a countryside which make me really inconvenient to go to a small city nearby (it tooks hours to go to the city). So, I am only allowed to make a trip.
Since the city is so small, I afraid I can't find any SSD there. So, I need to buy it online before I go to the city.
I been browsing a while and found "Sony SSD SLW-MG4". Hope that stuff is all what I am looking for.
Thanks very much for your time and suggestions.
Wish me luck.
