HD Upgrade Question

Hello Everyone,

It has been forever since I posted about my 2010 DS purchase! My computer has served me very well over the past 7 years. I have the specs posted below. The computer still runs very well - a little louder than when I bought it due to old case fans but all going great! The reason why I am posting is my SSD is getting full. It is down to less than 30GB free. I have moved everything I can to the HD which is doing fine with more than 150GB free. I was thinking rather than get a new computer (which I am starting to get the itch to do) that I would buy a new SSD, clone my old SSD over to the new one and repurpose the old SSD for storage or running games.

Suggestions on SSDs to buy that would work with my system? No budget restraint...but I would like to know what makes sense for a system of this age.

I have only done a HD clone once and it was a VERY long time ago with a Seagate HD. Went fine but I am wondering about recommendations on cloning? Just use vendor software? I really do not want to do a fresh install as I have things just the way I want on my current SSD.

Or am I being goofy and I should just get a brand new, shiny DS rig?!?

Any thoughts or input would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Thanks bprat22! I was looking at those drives. As I have an old motherboard (but updated BIOS, chipsets and Windows), I assume there are no issues with drivers for newer SSDs? Or the drives will come with drivers?

Of course I know I can call DS if I run into any issues.
