That day I resurrected a 10 year old laptop with a $9 SSD

My old Toshiba was taking 15 minutes just to boot up, so I grabbed a cheap 120GB SSD off eBay for under ten bucks and swapped out the bad hard drive. Now it boots in 30 seconds and runs fine for basic web stuff. Anyone else tried reviving a dinosaur with one of those super cheap drives?

Boots in 30 seconds" sounds like a stretch for a 10 year old Toshiba, lol. I've tried cheap SSDs before and they usually crap out after a few months.

Crap out after a few months" - that's why I cloned the old drive first.
