Persistent freezing, slow startup times, sluggish file transfers and excessive fan noise may point to a storage issue. Our technicians diagnose the cause and recommend the right repair for your Mac.
Spinning disk: startup feels slow and files take a while to open.
Illustration onlyMost slow laptops aren't dead. They're stuck on an old hard drive.
A laptop SSD upgrade in Plano replaces that spinning disk with flash storage, and the difference is evident. Startup drops to seconds. Files open instantly. Students feel it during class, and office workers feel it during Monday morning email.
We also clone your data across, so you don't start from scratch.
Not every Mac can take a new drive. Some MacBooks have storage soldered to the board, and no shop can swap that. So we look first. If your model supports a MacBook SSD upgrade, we will explain the options and the cost. If it doesn't, we say so. We won't sell you something that won't work.
Got an older iMac, Mac Mini, or a Dell or HP desktop? A computer SSD upgrade is usually the cheapest way to get a few more years out of it. Cheaper than a new machine. Much cheaper. We can also add more space while we're in there, so you stop deleting photos just to install an update.
Call or walk into our Spring Creek Pkwy shop.
We confirm that your device supports an upgrade and give you a clear quote.
Most upgrades are done on the same day.
Most people notice it right away. Startup and app launches are far quicker than on a hard drive.
No. Newer MacBooks use soldered storage. Bring yours in and we'll check.
We clone your drive first, so your files come along. A backup still never hurts.
Usually on the same day. A busy week can stretch it a little.
If the rest of the machine is healthy, yes. If it isn't, we'll tell you straight.
It depends on what you keep. Photos, videos and games eat space fast, so we usually suggest going bigger than your old drive. Tell us how you use the machine and we'll suggest a size.
If we clone your old drive, everything stays the same. Want a fresh start instead? We can install a clean copy of macOS or Windows.
