    I'm trying to buy an SSD for my Asus and can't decide on the best one. What are the main factors I should look at? Max Seq. R/W? Max Random R/W? Read/write speed? TBH I don't even know what these things mean. Are they worth studying up on? I'm trying to compare Transcend SSDs to Crucial SSDs but don't really know where to start. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out. Also, will switching from an HDD to an SSD significantly cool my computer when it runs? Right now it gets pretty hot. Thanks a lot.
