Guys my Acer 5740G laptops HDD seems to be at the end of its life under heavy use/abuse for 5 odd years, want to replace it with an SSD 120/128/240/256 GB depending on price. Price is of prime consideration as I do not require top of the line performance. Still a mid range performer would be appreciated. Kindly suggest.

1) All SSDs are fast.
2)Check if your laptop has a mSATA SSD slot by opening your laptop. You can skin replacing your HDD for a SSD+HDD setup.
