Help please-
I intend to revive a five year old Sony VAIO laptop with an (internal) SSD drive.
I do find certain "Sony certified" ones, they're rather expensive though.
I'd rather go for one of the popular and less expensive ones like Samsung Evo -
but I'm unable to find out whether they're compatible with my VAIO laptop (VPCCW2S1E) -
if I'm correct I need to find out if the "controller" in my laptop is capable of keeping up with the SSD in terms of data throughput, otherwise it wouldn't make sense?

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Any SATA drive is compatible, so yea, the Samsung will work. You might need some torx keys to get in there.

Cheers.

Yea I understand it will fit (work) if it's SATA, question is if the controller (?) is able to handle the throughput / fast enough - so it would not be a bottleneck and make the endeavour useless.

Sorry if I'm missing a point, I'm not up-to-date on this shit like I used to be..
