#Sony vaio s premium ssd upgrade#
I hope, that the above information could be usefull for those searching to upgrade their HDD to an SSD on similar Vaio models. The small cpu seems to have more load and activity due to the higher read/write speed. The entire boot process went to the half time compared to the original HDD (25 seconds to the login screen and 35 seconds to the Desktop with preloaded apps, instead of the initial 2 - 2.5 minutes).īut, since Sony has made a quite balanced laptop (my VPCYB2M1E has a dual core AMD E-350 cpu, which is rather slow), using an SSD instead of the original HDD get me aside some speed, a bit more fan-noise. After cloning the Seagte HDD to this Crucial SSD (with Macrium Reflect - that was the program that I've considered the best from all that I've tried) and mounting the SSD in my Vaio, there was no trouble in getting to my OS. The only SSD manufacturer that I've found publishing compatibility information for my Vaio's specs was Crucial, so I've bought a 500GB Crucial MX200 SSD. My end-conclusion: the Samsung SSD is not compatible with my Vaio laptop's controller (AMD A50M Fusion)! I've tried also a smaller, 240GB Kingston HyperX Fury SSD, wich caused no trouble at all after migrating the OS, the laptop booted quickly and the OS was loaded under 1 minute. My first choice was a 500GB Samsung PRO SSD (due to the performance and positive reviews), but I couldn't start properly my Vaio laptop with this SSD after cloning the HDD (I've tried 5 different programs during 2 days). Since the HDD was a 320GB Seagate Momentus, I searched for a similar or larger capacity SSD.

I'd like to share some of my experience during the "upgrade" of my little Vaio from the original HDD to a SSD.
