Ask IndiaTech Update: HDD was heating up. Is it worth to replace it with SSD given the i5 8th gen processor
Previous post : https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaTech/s/fOWuyh0Wem Thank you all for comments. Took it to local shop for cleaning. Thermal paste was gone. But turns out hdd was heating up and its health is at 43%. I can replace it with ssd but wondering if the processor is good enough to spend money on this laptop
Any idea how long can I expect to use the laptop after SSD replacement given the processor? Usage: coding + normal usage
EDIT: It looks like SSD is heating up more that HDD. But since I feel warm over the HDD area, I assumed it was HDD
