   Let me explain. I bought a Dell XPS about 12 years ago and it had a TB HDD   
   drive.  Since that time, I've added 2 more 1TB HDD's to the box.  So,   
   that's three perfectly fine HDD's that still work great that I don't want   
   to just trash.   
      
   But, I do want to convert them to SDD's so that I can gain a little bit of   
   speed using common programs. In other words, I would prefer not to have to   
   purchase any new product, only convert what I currently have.
