   You do not save anything by "converting" an HDD into an SSD. You end   
   having to garbage the same amount of parts.   
      
   It is like "converting" a valve radio into a transistor radio. You end   
   up with an empty transistor radio box, and a box full of valves and   
   radio innards that you have to garbage, instead of having two working   
   radios at the start.
