Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my files?

Unfortunately no-one can 100% guarantee no-loss of data since data is simply ‘bits and bytes’ on a hard drive, although in our case it rarely happens. We do however strongly recommend you perform a backup of your data before we start the task of upgrading your machine. Alternatively, we may be able to take a backup for you for a small extra fee of $30. We can also perform a block-level clone so every file, app, and license key stays intact. If you’d prefer a fresh start, we can back up your data separately.

How long does the upgrade take?

Depending on the specific task, an upgrade can be done in some cases the same day. The more common time-frame is 24-48 hours.

Is my computer too old?

If it was built after 2008 and uses SATA or PCIe storage, it can benefit. Contact us for a free compatibility check.

Do you offer NVMe upgrades?

Absolutely. We install the latest PCIe Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSDs for blazing sequential speeds up to 7,400 MB/s.

What about warranty?

All SSDs include a minimum 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.

What does my Solid State Drive upgrade include?

Yes, upgrading to a Solid State Drive can significantly improve your computer’s speed, especially in boot times, file transfers, and application load times. SSDs are much faster than traditional HDDs because they have no moving parts and offer quicker data access.

The best SSD depends on your use case and budget. Popular reliable brands include Samsung, Crucial, Western Digital, and Kingston. If you need high performance for gaming or professional work, consider NVMe SSDs, which are faster than SATA SSDs. It's also important to check your computer's compatibility (e.g., SATA vs. NVMe slots).

This depends on how much data you plan to store. For basic use, 250GB to 500GB may suffice. If you handle large files, games, or extensive media libraries, consider 1TB or more. Balance your needs with your budget, but remember that larger capacities offer more space and future-proofing.

The data transfer process can be straightforward if done correctly. Typically, you can clone your existing drive to the new SSD, which preserves your data and operating system. A professional can assist with this to minimize risks. Always back up your important data before starting the upgrade.

The physical installation usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Setting up the SSD, including cloning your existing drive and configuring the system, can take additional time depending on the method used. Overall, expect a few hours, but this can vary. Downtime is usually minimal if done by a professional, and your computer can often be ready for use the same day.

Absolutely! Just provide us with your current PC specifications and your upgrade requirements
