Ebay.com doesn't ship to my country as well. As said before,  No online sellers ship to Yemen at all, even if we need some parts, we should request them by a friend from one of the Gulf Arab countries. However, Not all of us have friends traveling to those countries. To be honest with you, I really only found **DX.com, and mydvddrive.com who can ship to my country, although they know that my country doesn't have postal/zib code.**But, the firsrt, doesn't have my preferred things, and the second only sells the optical drives.

    Actually, unlike Amazon, eBay doesn't ship anything.  They are just an online auction/storefront forum with a good search engine.  Each seller decides where they are willing to ship.  Many eBay sellers only ship to the continental US.  However, the one I listed in my previous post ships worldwide, and Yemen is included in his list of supported shipping destinations.  Several other worldwide shippers I saw specifically excluded Yemen (along with many other countries).

    However, it may very well be a good idea to contact the seller first and confirm that they can indeed ship to Yemen.  Another thing you would have to figure out is payment method.

Thanks a lot,

**First:**I really tried your first link, and I really found Yemen is available, however, you think that they can know where exactly I live(my village, hometown, city, and so on) . Even the people living in the city, don't know where my house is located in the city since city also includes many villages. Thus, when Ebay send/ship my order to Yemen, and then how could those people know to send/deliver my order to my house as long as they don't know exactly where my house is? Even if I have given the name of my village, it wouldn't be helpful as long as knowing my village would not be helpful since village isn't well-known , and wouldn't be helpful in delivering process.

Yes, the state(governorate), and city are both well-known. However, my house is not well-known in the city, however, it is in sub-city(village) inside the main city

ALL information I can provide is:

• My name
• Street Address: I don't have street address since my house is located in a village not well-known in the city. However, I only wrote 'main street' as anything since if I left it empty, I found error 'Please enter a street address'.
• City, governorate, country
• Phone number

Second: You think that my phone number should be proceeded with the country area code, or not?

For instance, it should be '00997-5-457849' Or just '457849'

Thirdly: What would I have as a guarantee after purchasing my order from Ebay, and in case my order wasn't delivered, I would complain/claim to ebay with mentioning to that guarantee?

Fourthly:: When my order is sent to Yemen, then the Yemeni post would be responsible for the rest of delivery to my own house. You you will directly send my order to my own House, village, city, province.

Finally:    You said it may very well be a good idea to contact the seller first and confirm that they can indeed ship to Yemen.  How could I get their contacts(email).

About payment method, I have MasterCard with which I would prefer to be charged.

 I only have HP laptop with USB 3.0, 2.0. I want **'Kingston Digital 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Adapter (SV300S3N7A/480G)'**to be installed/inserted to my laptop in-place my HDD. Thus, you think 'Kingston Digital' is good? I don't have other choice if I don't find others.

    I agree that this would be quite convenient.  I mean, it is a SSD, it is reliable, it is faster than a very good HDD in most situations (and certainly much faster than your current 5400 RPM HDD), and it comes with a SATA/USB adapter.  The main problem I have with actually recommending that unit is the fact that for the price, it does not perform well compared to several other SSDs.  In the end, if you want a SSD upgrade and that's all you can get, I'm sure it would serve you well; but I would strongly suggest putting more effort into seeing if you can get something better for that same amount of money first.

With a SSD with a capacity of 250GB is good enough even if I will want to partition SSD into three partitons 'OS(120GB), and (Peraonal Data parition (100GB), Personal Recovery partition(30GB)?

    If all your files will fit in 100GB with room to spare for more, and your games (if any) use less than 100GB (leaving 50GB for Windows and everything else), you should be just fine with the configuration given above.

    Do you really need the recovery partition?  Couldn't you just put that onto a CD/DVD or USB flash drive?  Actually, on most machines the recovery partition is a security hole since anyone reboot your machine, press the special BIOS hotkey to initiate recovery, and overwrite your files in the process.  Removing it would give you an extra 30GB of disk space.

    Also, when partitioning, please be aware of the very prevalent, but also very wrong convention of dividing capacities by 1024 instead of 1000.  This will cause your SSD to run out of space for the last partition since each partition will be oversized by a factor of 1.024 (KB), 1.048576 (MB), or 1.073741824 (GB).  Windows Disk Management (and the Windows Setup wizard) both use the MB calculation.  Looking at a screenshot of Macrium Reflect, I believe that it also uses incorrect calculations, but I don't know exactly which one.

    To make everything add up correctly when creating the partitions, enter the desired partition size as required by the program, and then divide it by the appropriate number in my previous paragraph (above).  So for 120GB:

• Program asks in bytes: 120,000,000,000.  You're done.
• Program asks in KB: 120,000,000 / 1.024 = 117,187,500  <- enter this number.
• Program asks in MB: 120,000 / 1.048576 = 114,441  <- enter this number.
• Program asks in GB: 120 / 1.073741824 = 111.8  <- enter this number, or enter 112 if it won't take a fractional number.

    Please note that Windows Explorer also calculates file and disk sizes incorrectly.  So your 250GB SSD will appear as 232.8GB (250/1.073741824), the 120GB partition as 111.8GB, the 100GB partition as 93.1GB, and the 30GB partition as 27.9GB.  If all the programmers would simply do the right and logical thing and divide by 1000, this would all be so straightforward.  At least MacOS and Ubuntu have it right!

Finally: What difference is there between each pair of Samsung SSDs?

 •$289.99 (10yr, 512GB MLC): Samsung 850 Pro

 •$373.36 (10yr, 512GB MLC): Samsung 840 Pro

•$212.99 (5yr, 500GB TLC): Samsung 850 EVO

 •$229.98 (3yr, 500GB TLC): Samsung 840 EVO

I think Samsung the first pair (840/850 Pro) is the better one. If I found this Samsung 850 Pro or even Samsung 850 EVO in my country would purchase it with $289 or $212 in order immediately, although I still don't understand why Samsung 850 Pro is much cheaper than Samsung 840 Pro, this is strange?

    The first pair (Pro series) uses the more expensive MLC memory, which is known to be reliable and fast, having an excellent lifespan.  This is why they are willing to guarantee it for 10 years, and is also why the Crucial MX100 is a steal.  The second pair (EVO series) uses the cheaper TLC memory, which writes much slower, and has longterm data retention and lifespan issues.  This is why its warranty is about the same as a HDD, 3 years.  The unique thing about the EVO series SSDs is that Samsung included a small amount of fast memory for handling writes realtime, while the SSD "uploads" the data to its slower main memory in the background.  This gives the EVO its uniquely fast write speeds for TLC based SSDs.

    When I wrote my initial post linking to the 840 EVO on Amazon, the 850 had just come out and was very expensive/not available, so I linked to the 840 which was cheaper.  Performance-wise, they are about the same.  One of the special things about the 850 is its revolutionary 3D NAND memory which is supposed to be cheaper to produce.  Now that the 850 has been on the market for a little bit, its prices are starting to fall as expected, now making it cheaper than the 840.  It is currently the latest version in Samsung's 8xx series.

 Another place possibly worth looking into is eBay.  Unfortunately, the listings I saw where the sellers supported worldwide shipping also had prices significantly higher than Amazon. Here's an example of a listing that looks good to me, but the price is $325.11 ($267.66 + $57.45 shipping) instead of Amazon's $212.99.  You may also need to look into import rules so the item doesn't get stuck in customs; your local mail carrier may know more.

Thank you so much indeed,

I must stand up and thank you very much indeed for such good explanation.

It seems we were writing Synchronously

If  the online sellers in the United Arab Emirates, or Saudi Arabia, or Kuwait had shiped to Yemen, it would have been much better. I really don't know any online sellers in my region, Continent(Asia) who could ship to Yemen. Could you have any?

    If you don't have a USB/SATA converter or a desktop computer that you could connect the SSD to for restoring the backup, the Kingston SSD you mentioned earlier that also comes with a USB adapter is looking a little more attractive!  I just think it is priced too high for its (now reduced) performance level.

 I only have HP laptop with USB 3.0, 2.0.

Thus, you think 'Kingston Digital' is good? I don't have other choice if I don't find others.

Thirdly: You think getting a SSD with a capacity of 220GB is good

    If that's enough space for you, yes, that will be fine.  You would know how much data you need to store on your laptop better than me.  Many people are just fine with just a 120GB SSD.  Also, if you stored your files in the "Documents", "Music", "Pictures" folders instead of partitioning, it would allow you to make better use of the space since there wouldn't be an unmovable partition dividing the space a certain way.  (Don't get me wrong, I too like to have my files on another partition; but with limited space it doesn't make as much sense.)

    Windows should use less than 50 GB.  You can reduce its bulk by running Disk Cleanup.  Type "cleanmgr" into the Windows Start menu/screen search bar, right-click it, click "Run as Administrator".  When it is done cleaning up, reboot your computer so Windows Update can clean up its mess too.

Firstly:: Do you think that purchasing a SSD with a high price can let me go further(let my laptop be quick)? I think the price( $199.99) for a single SSD with a capacity of 500GB can let me purchase a new laptop or even desktop with reasonable features ?

I.e. $199.99 or even 212.99 which is the price of a single SSD can be the cost of another new laptop/even desktop with reasonable features

    Any of the SSDs I listed in my earlier post will make most any machine feel, respond, and boot faster.  The performance gap between a HDD and any of the SSDs I listed in an earlier post is much greater than the performance gap between any of those individual SSDs that I listed.  They are all good performers.  The Crucial is the only one that has notably slower write speeds and higher power consumption than the others, but you probably won't even notice that since it will be so much faster and more efficient than your HDD.  The only reason to get a more expensive SSD would be higher reliability, longer life, and slightly faster speeds.  Again, any of those SSDs will be so much faster than your HDD that you probably wouldn't notice the slight difference between the different SSDs.

A SSD will not:

• Increase your machine's ability to play back HD video or stream YouTube smoothly.
• Make your computer encode/process audio/video faster.
• Allow you to play games at a higher FPS.
• Keep your computer from being infected with viruses.

A SSD will:

• Make your computer boot, hibernate/resume, shutdown much (2-8x) faster.
• Make programs open instantly (or much quicker) after clicking on them.
• Make your computer more responsive, and able to handle more open programs before bogging down.
• Increase your battery life.
• Reduce game load times/delays.
• Allow you to accidentally drop, or throw your laptop across the room without losing your data (now your laptop may break, but the SSD and your data should be OK!).

    Given the prices of these SSDs (<$400), I doubt you would be able to get a nicer laptop for that price unless you have access to a store selling refurbished units.  And still, most of them--even with much more powerful CPUs and more RAM--will still be disappointingly slow because of the clunky 5400 RPM HDD that they too would have!  This is the biggest reason why iPads and other tablets seem so fast compared to many laptops--they have digital storage instead of a HDD.

Secondly:  With respect to SSD brands, in my own country 'Yemen',  I really didn't find other than 'Kingston Digital 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Adapter (SV300S3N7A/480G)', and with a price of $350. However, I would be still looking for another brand as you said the Kingston SSDs are not good.

Also, Amazon.com doesn't ship to my own country, or it would be much better since their prices are much better. Do you know that other online seller can ship to my own country. I only knew 'mydvddrive.com' the only online seller who ship to my own country. However, all what they sell is optical drives.

Yemen is going to be really problem.

    Another place possibly worth looking into is eBay.  Unfortunately, the listings I saw where the sellers supported worldwide shipping also had prices significantly higher than Amazon.  Here's an example of a listing that looks good to me, but the price is $325.11 ($267.66 + $57.45 shipping) instead of Amazon's $212.99.  You may also need to look into import rules so the item doesn't get stuck in customs; your local mail carrier may know more.

Fourthly: Product Name dv6-6093ex

Product Number: LM610EA

I've never ever heard that a laptop can have two standard HDDs or even a standard HDD and SSD  installed/inserted onto a laptop at the same time. But even if my laptop has  two HDD bays, You said 'Unless you need the storage space, I would recommend not leaving the old HDD in your laptop.  It will just consume power and age faster.  If you do need the storage space, just move it to the secondary drive bay (by your comment I'm assuming that your laptop has two HDD bays).'

What benefit is there from leaving the other standard HDD installed along with SSD?

    Sometimes, larger (>16") laptops do have two bays for SSDs/HDDs.  With the full model number, I looked up your laptop and it only has one bay.  Thankfully, it looks like access is relatively easy.  I have had to fully disassemble quite a few laptops to make the upgrade, and that isn't much fun!  Here are links to your laptop's Support page, and Service Manual.  HDD replacement steps are on page 70.

    If you don't have a USB/SATA converter or a desktop computer that you could connect the SSD to for restoring the backup, the Kingston SSD you mentioned earlier that also comes with a USB adapter is looking a little more attractive!  I just think it is priced too high for its (now reduced) performance level.

Finally: you think all Sandisk SSDs are coloured and marked with Sandisk logo

And Samsung are coloured and marked with Samsung logo

    Yes, that's what those SSDs look like, minus the "DX.com" watermark (and yellow marks) all over the Samsung unit's picture.  The 840 Pro and 850 EVO/Pro SSDs are black instead of gray like the 840 EVO pictured above.  The Samsung logo isn't fancy, just their name in capitals with the "A" missing the crossbar, exactly as seen above.
