Sometimes you’re better off just leaving well enough alone. If your first thought is “How hard can it be?”, chances are it won’t end well. Luckily, when it comes to sleep deprivation, I’m a professional
.
Since I wasn’t getting any sleep, I decided to upgrade the hard drive in my laptop. That shouldn’t be too hard, right? Remove a couple screws, pop the old one out, pop the new one in, all done. Not so fast. I love everything about this laptop, ‘til now. This is what was required for my simple task to be completed…
And the worst part? Already I’m not sure I’m happy with the upgraded drive. Sure it’s more space, went from 300GB to 500GB, but the system seems slower somehow. Will give it a week or two and make some more observations. Could be I just need to get to bed and check this out again with fresh eyes. Like I said, I’m a professional, so at least nothing’s broken. It also means I know when to quit… usually.
But with my luck and history, something tells me I will be doing this again in the near future, only this time, I will be putting back the old hard drive.
