Battery life & SSD

[mark28]

There are some SSD that use very little power like the Intel SSD. Do you guys notice a battery life increase with a SSD that is power efficient?

I did notice a small boost in battery life after I swapped in an SSD, but I have never done any formal rundown tests. I imagine at best it will add an hour to its life, though the charge-left clock tells me it added anywhere between 2-4 hours, depending on usage.

Yes, I also saw a small increase in battery time when I went to the ssd... Of course, that of course was completely lost when I put a drive in the optical bay though.

The Toshiba HG2 will really help your battery life. It's far from the fastest, but it's extremely efficient and still blazing fast. Tom's Hardware It's what I have installed...
