People who have bought computers with Solid State Drives, or have replaced the drive that came with their computer with a new SSD, say the performance improvement is really great. Leo says his SSD equipped computer boots in seconds and the performance enhancement is well worth the extra cost of a solid-state drive. If you decide that you’d like to switch to an SSD, it’s been made a lot easier thanks to Imation's M-Class Solid State Upgrade Kits. Imation says SSDs will change the way you look at computing. Lightning fast boot times, applications that load in a fraction of the time, the power to run graphics, design applications and games the way they were meant to run! So if you’re looking for a simple way to add the performance edge of a solid-state drive Imation's M-Class SSDs are available with an upgrade kit. It’s a complete kit for upgrading an existing system to an Imation SSD system without losing your current operating system, applications or data. You get the software and the necessary SATA connector and power cables. First you transfer everything from your current drive to the SSD Drive. Then you replace your current hard drive with the SSD. But there’s more! Then you use the HDD enclosure to turn the drive you took out of your computer into a stand-alone hard drive!
