In this day and age, with computer hard drives at all time low prices, a drive which exhibits bad sectors has actually already failed and is simply not worth any attempt to recondition.

SSDs present a SATA 3 interface to the computer just like HDDs present a SATA 3 interface. I do see folks complaining on computer sales websites they just couldn't get the SSD they bought to work properly in their computer and they sent it back for a refund/replacement (of course there are plenty of similar complaints for HDDs), but when you look at some of the complaints I get the feeling the folks just did something wrong in trying to clone their drives, replace the drives, reload the OS, etc. I guess what I'm saying I expect there are some older computers that may not like SSDs but SSDs sure worked fine in my old Toshiba laptops. Heck, I've got an 8 year Toshiba laptop that worked fine with an SSD which was running XP at the time.I later moved that SSD to a 7 year Toshiba laptop runnng Win 7 where the SSD works fine also.and I've got a SSD in an almost 1 year old Lenovo laptop running Win 8.1. Solid state drives are great for the installation of your OS, but are very cost prohibitive as a storage solution, as well as you have to make sure that your motherboard and CMOS will accomodate booting from a SSD Also look at solid state disks for better performance
