How can I make my computer fast?
This question is a popular one from our customers. The first upgrade we recommend at Byte Solutions is to invest in a Solid-State Disk (SSD). Compared to the traditional hard disk drive, a solid-state disk can operate up to 550MB/s which is over 5x faster than a typical hard disk, this results in significantly faster start-up times and enhanced usability of your computer.
The benefits of Solid State Disks (SSDs)
- Average transfer speed ~ 450MB/s – 550MB/s
- Computer startup time ~ 5 – 15 seconds
- Completely silent no audible vibrations
- Typically come in much smaller capacities than hard disks
- Can be alot more expensive than HDDs
- Ideal for computer boot drives

Slow doesn't always mean buying new
We believe technology should last and not have to be replaced constantly. Sometimes your slow computer or laptop might be a result of a lack of storage or a malware or virus infestation. Even the fastest and newest computers can come to a crawl when they aren’t optimised. Before calling for help, try some of these tips
- Run Microsoft Disk Cleanup
- Disable unused startup programs in Windows task manager
- Uninstall and delete unused programs or adware
- Run Microsoft disk defragmentor
- Uninstall any browser addons that aren’t required
Often cleaning up your computer using these tips can help prevent a build-up of unnecessary files such a log files, temporary internet files, and more that can eventually bring your system to a crawl.
