The Ultimate Upgrade
Note: If you’re still running a mechanical boot drive, this upgrade will change your digital life.
We seek out and replace traditional, outdated, mechanical hard disk drives (HDD) with faster, more secure, solid state drives (SSD). Data recovery is our priority when critical files are at risk.
Traditional hard drives store files using magnetic platters which spin up to 10,000 RPM, and have a 20x higher failure rate than solid state.[1] Unfortunately, even in brand new, high-end systems, mechanical hard drives are often still used, creating a virtual bottleneck.
Benefits of an SSD Upgrade
• Improved Startup Time
• Increased Data Security
• Unnecessary To Defragment
• Quieter, Lighter
• Faster Search & App Response Time
Once upgraded to a solid state drive, expect a faster, quieter, more responsive computer.
Hard drives that pass their respective S.M.A.R.T. tests may be converted into external HDDs – or, (when possible) remain inside the computer via an expansion bay.
If a drive is deemed faulty, it should be erased – and physically destroyed – once all important data is extracted.

EXCELLENT Based on 54 reviews Nonameforyoudangit2024-11-12 Daryl hasn't even completed my repair yet (to be clear, it's still comfortably before the estimated delivery date) and I have to rate him all of the stars. The reviews aren't hype, folks. Daryl very quickly identified the best and most cost-effective repair options and kept me in the loop. He's a personable pro with integrity. Fair pricing, too. Will update to confirm all of the above once he returns my older, but still speedy and reliable machine. JL S2024-05-05 Daryl is a magician. He came over yesterday and fixed issues with two MacBooks; an HP and a Canon printer; downloaded and taught me how to use pdf editing software; definitively proved my TV soundbar is defective and set up the new sound bar. All in what he claims was a one- hour appointment. I don’t know what I’d do without him. Anthony2024-03-20 I took my PC to Best Buy in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia. The Geek squad department stated to me that they couldn’t make the necessary upgrades pertaining my GPU and power supply. Along with that, the customer service was terrible. So I did some research and googled “pc repairs near me” where I found Daryl. When I called Daryl and explained to him my PC problems, he greeting me with the best customer service I have received in a long time. Daryl allowed me to drop my PC off the same day as the initial conversation. He was very thorough with what maintenance needs to be done with the hardware, even letting me know that I can return some of the unnecessary parts (which allowed me to save money). I received my PC back earlier than expected, and an explanation on what was performed. I will continue to utilize Daryl for my PC needs and also spread his name to family and friends so that they can experience the greatness that Daryl offers. Thank you again. Steve Fong2024-01-16 Darryl is swift, knowledgeable and professional. And the pricing is affordable. Christina K2024-01-05 Daryl was very kind to quickly fit me in for a same-day appointment. He was professional, knowledgable, and friendly. I love that Daryl is a one-man shop so you know exactly who is supporting you and that you're in good hands. Single Representation Program2023-12-19 Absolutely amazing. My business took my laptop to a bricks/mortar store with an excellent reputation that we have used in the past for upgrade to a 1TB drive. They tried very hard, but said that the laptop simply could not support a 1TB drive. Without the larger drive, the laptop was basically worthless for our business. On a lark, prior to my business discarding the computer, I took it to Daryl, mostly because he was close by. I really wasn't expecting anything. Amazingly, he upgraded the drive in days, determining that an esoteric change in the model specs by Dell had prevented the other shop from understanding how to upgrade. Daryl's knowledge of computers is truly amazing. Sonia Bartoli2023-11-16 I have turned to Daryl of Mt. Vernon Computers more than once -- and will again. The computer he's repaired and upgraded for me is still going strong (and fast!) years later. Daryl is professional, a great communicator, and clearly knows his stuff! He's my go-to computer guy, and a specialist I won't hesitate to recommend! K. H.2023-11-01 I am pleased and impressed by the quick response and services provided. I’d been dreading the task of getting my computer serviced and Daryl made it so easy. He picked it up, kept in touch regarding what it needed, and when he returned it, took the time to show me some shortcuts and navigation tools. A few weeks later, he kindly helped me over the phone to connect my printer to my computer. He is knowledgeable, easy to reach, and his rates are reasonable. Yhobi2023-10-20 So far, I have received two computer emergency services from Mount Vernon Computes, and got a quick response, diagnosis, and repair in a matter of days! Not only fast services but also affordable prices. Daryl is excellent at explaining everything to give me peace of mind. I will keep using his services! Margaret Newman2023-10-10 We have used Mt. Vernon Computers for several years. They provide excellent service and reasonable pricing. Daryl Elliot is extremely knowledgeable regarding any IT issue with your computer. We highly recommend Mt. Vernon Computers. You will not be disappointed
