Replaced with a pattern part delivered from China.
Relatively the same weight but appears far less charcoal than vw or version.

Upgrading the Acer Aspire A5750 laptop HDD to SSD : from 90 seconds to 2 secs boot to login screen (Win 10)
Laptop Bought in June 2012
Acer Aspire 5750 15.6 inch Laptop - Black (Intel Core i3-2350M 2.3GHz, RAM 4GB, HDD 500GB, DVD-Super Multi DL, LAN, WLAN, Webcam, Windows 7 Home Premium
upgraded to Windows 8 then Windows 10 Home
Reviewing Task Manager performance was always limited by HDD at 100%
Was barely useable, with lots of waiting
Boot to login screen Windows 10 with existing HDD = >90 seconds
http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/aspire-5750/CT11308081
Crucial MX500 500GB SATA
Specs: 500GB 2.5-inch internal SSD • SATA 6.0Gb/s • 560 MB/s Read, 510 MB/s Write
CTSATAUSBCABLE.001 Crucial Easy Laptop Data Transfer Cable for SSD £7.99
CT11308081 Crucial MX500 500GB SATA 2.5-inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD £88.99
Software for cloning is downloaded from web (https://www.acronis.com/en-gb/promotion/CrucialHD-download/)
Procedure (simplified here, but also http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/ssd-upgrade-advisor)
I just cloned as is and kept the sizing the same 500GB and partitions as is.
Boot to login screen Windows 10 with new SSD = 2 seconds (!)
Despite an i3 and limited RAM (4GB) the machine is transformed into a useable windows 10 machine.
For £100 its a no brainer if you have one of these machines and you dont want a full replacement.

- backup your files (in case it all goes wrong)
- Download Acronis on laptop drive to be cloned
- Plugin new drive SSD to usb
- Clone drive (took over 3 hrs for me for 150GB data)
- Shutdown laptop, remove battery, hit power button
- remove HDD
- remove screws and casing
- transfer SSD into case (didnt need spacer as it has screws)
- refit
- reboot and hope
Boot to login screen Windows 10 with new SSD = 2 seconds (!)
