so i have a dell inspiron 15 3565 and it comes with an SSD however in a few weeks i filled it up (only 128GB) the read/write speeds are 541 read and 138 write, is this a good improvement or should i just put my old laptops mechanical drive in it?
there is no disk drive to swap out it with and my external drive cable is super faulty, should i trust a $3 one from Kogan? like the sites good but would it actually be USB 3.0?SSD's are way faster than HDD's, I would recommend sticking with it and maybe just getting an enclosure for your mechanical drive so that you can access its storage from the computer.

the one in mine is a toshiba one and i think your right about the reliability, someone bumped into my laptop bag once and killed my hardrive[DOUBLEPOST=1512330227,1512330061][/DOUBLEPOST]SSDs are definitely worth the hype. The advantage isn't just the speed but also the stability and reliability. Mechanical drives are usually the first thing to fail in a PC due the moving mechanical parts. I stopped buying mechanical drives a couple of years ago despite them being cheaper. SSDs are getting cheaper all the time. I like the Crucial brand personally.
with windows on my ssd and sony vegas pro 15 and photoshop and chrome it fills up quite quickly its 128 but windows makes 20gb not existIt is certainly. I have a SSD in my laptop and it easily helps me to edit my traveling videos quickly and conveniently. Plus, I think these days SSD's are quite reasonable for the price. I have a 128GB SSD and it fulfills my purpose fairly.
dont have the option unfortunately if the store gave me the model with the DVD drive i would have taken it out and put a caddy in and thrown my old laptops mechanical drive in itSSD for OS and work, HDDs for storage.
