You would be hard pressed to find a SSD slower than around 4 times the speed of even the fastest Hard drives manufactured today. Most SSD are are 10s of times faster. SSDs just don’t get affected by fragmentation at all, while it’s the bane of HDDs – so the more you use the drive the less speedy it becomes (while with SSD it doesn’t matter how fragmented – it’s still the same speed).

What super, punctual, helpful and friendly service! On the phone first – all booked and went exactly as planned! And then, James came and helped set up my new wifi printer – I am thrilled! I was also able to trade in my old laptop. I can highly recommend them.Thank you very much.

I have been a customer of 19 Computing virtually since it’s inception and my confidence in the competence and reliability of the firm is complete. I have had new computers, many upgrades and both shop and home servicing, always a job well done. My computer has been continually kept up to date and my enquiries as to whether I should consider another upgrade most often met with the assurance that there was no need, very re-assuring. James most recent contact was to ensure that I was aware of the impending ending of support for Windows 7. This was the prompt I needed and he promptly did the necessary this week, thanks again James. I highly recommend 19 Computing.

Did a great job on my son’s laptop and gave some great upgrade advice. A great local business. Thanks very much.

Although I live 110 miles away in Gloucester, I was recommended to try James at 19 Computing to specify and build a rather special desk top PC that I wanted (to cope with the demands of video editing). That was 10 years ago and the beast he built for me still works beautifully. However, with Microsoft stopping Windows 7 support, it was time (and an opportunity) to update everything to current standards and, naturally, I went back to 19 Computing to see what they would suggest. James helped me identify the best components over the course of a few days of e:mail and phone exchanges and I agreed a spec with him this Sunday, 10th November. Today, just three working days later, the built machine is already on its way to me – and I know it will be great.I cannot think of any example of a better, faster and more personal service in any area of business than I have experienced with 19 Computing. 5 stars hardly seems enough.
