Hard drive replacement at BAYAS costs BDT 4,300–8,000 for a standard 2.5" laptop HDD (including the drive and labour). Upgrading to an SSD costs BDT 4,000–7,000 for SATA or BDT 6,500–11,000 for NVMe. Data cloning from the old drive is available for an additional BDT 1,500. WhatsApp 01712-644590 for a quote specific to your machine. ### Should I replace my hard drive with an SSD in Dhaka? Yes, in almost every case. An SSD makes a 5-year-old laptop feel new — boot time drops from 3–5 minutes to 15–25 seconds, file opening becomes instant. SSD prices in Dhaka (BDT 2,500–5,500 for 256–512GB) are now very accessible. BAYAS includes data migration from your old drive in most SSD upgrade packages. ### Can BAYAS clone my data to the new hard drive? Yes. We use Macrium Reflect or Clonezilla to clone the existing drive to the new one — you keep all your Windows installation, files, apps, and settings. Data cloning adds BDT 1,500 to the job and takes an extra 30–90 minutes depending on the amount of data, done at your home in [Mirpur](/locations/computer-repair-mirpur-dhaka) or any other Dhaka zone. ### My laptop says "no bootable device" — is the hard drive dead? Not always. "No bootable device" can mean: (1) hard drive is dead, (2) boot order changed in BIOS, (3) Windows boot files corrupted (fixable without drive replacement), (4) SATA cable loose (desktop). BAYAS diagnoses the exact cause for BDT 1,500 before recommending replacement. --- ## Related - [SSD Upgrade Dhaka Guide](/blog/ssd-upgrade-dhaka) - [Data Recovery Service Dhaka](/blog/data-recovery-dhaka) - [Computer Repair Service Dhaka](/services/computer-home-service-dhaka) - [External Hard Drive Repair Dhaka](/blog/external-hard-drive-repair-dhaka) - [Computer Upgrade Service Dhaka](/services/computer-upgrade-service-dhaka) --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How do I know if my hard drive needs replacement or just cleanup? If your drive makes clicking or grinding noises, shows SMART errors, disappears from BIOS, or causes blue screens — it needs replacement, not cleanup. If the drive is healthy but the system is slow, a SSD upgrade is far more effective than cleanup. Run CrystalDiskInfo (free) to check your drive's health status before deciding. ### Is data cloning safer than a fresh Windows install? Cloning preserves your entire system — files, programs, settings, and Windows activation — so you get a faster computer without reinstalling everything. A fresh install gives you a cleaner slate but requires reinstallation of all software and reconfiguration. BAYAS offers both options: clone for convenience (BDT 1,500 extra), or fresh install included in the upgrade price. ### Can I use my old hard drive as external storage after upgrading to SSD? Yes — many laptop and desktop drives can be placed in an external USB enclosure (BDT 300–800) and used as portable storage. BAYAS can configure your old drive as external storage during the same visit for a small additional fee. This is a cost-effective way to retain your data while gaining SSD speed. ### How long does an SSD last compared to an HDD? Modern SSDs typically last 5–10 years under normal use, measured in terabytes written (TBW). For a typical user writing 20–40 GB per day, a 500 GB SSD will outlast the laptop it's installed in. HDDs have no TBW limit but are mechanically prone to failure from drops, vibration, and wear — making them less reliable long-term despite a theoretically longer lifespan. ### What is the best SSD to buy for a laptop in Bangladesh in 2026? Samsung 980 (500 GB/1 TB) and Crucial P3 are the most reliable choices at competitive prices in Dhaka (BDT 4,500–9,000). For budget builds, Kingston NV2 offers good value. Avoid no-name SSDs under BDT 2,000 for 500 GB — they often use degraded NAND flash and fail within 6–12 months. BAYAS stocks and installs verified drives with full manufacturer warranty. ### Should I buy a new laptop or upgrade my old one with an SSD? If your laptop is 3–5 years old and still has an HDD, an SSD upgrade (BDT 4,000–7,000 total at BAYAS) typically makes it feel 5–10× faster and is the single best upgrade you can make. Only buy a new laptop if your current machine has additional failures (dead motherboard, broken screen, swollen battery) that make repair uneconomical.
