SSD upgrades · Stony Plain

Make your slow computer feel new for $449, drive included.

If your computer still works but takes forever to start, the hard drive is usually the bottleneck. A solid-state drive (SSD) can turn a two-minute startup into about fifteen seconds. One flat price covers the drive, the transfer and the setup.

How much is an SSD upgrade in Stony Plain?

Computer Wall’s SSD Speed Upgrade is $449 all-in: a 500GB SSD, moving everything from the old drive, a performance tune and a 12-month warranty on the work. If it doesn’t start up noticeably faster, you get your money back. A 1TB drive is $70 more. A new laptop typically costs $1,000 or more before you move your files.

Is it a good fit?

An SSD upgrade usually makes sense if:

  • Your computer is roughly 3–8 years old
  • It still turns on and runs, just slowly
  • It takes over a minute to start up
  • You like it and don’t want to set up a new one
  • The rest of the hardware checks out healthy

SSD or new computer?

We’ll give you the honest answer.

Some computers are worth upgrading and some aren’t. If yours is very old, has a failing screen or battery, or can’t run the software you need, a replacement may be the better spend. We look at it first and tell you which one makes sense.

What upgrade customers say

★★★★★
“Great service. Very helpful. I brought in my 2014 computer because it wasn’t linking with my new iPhone. He was able to upgrade the operating system. So far it’s working great! Now I don’t have to buy a new computer.”

★★★★★
“I was in a panic as 48 hours before I had to leave for a contract job, my laptop crashed. Patrick was so understanding of my dilemma and within 24 hours we had a solution. I had a budget and he recognised that and was able to maintain that. I’m working through another project with him already.”
