I can say if you're running a laptop with a mechanical hard drive and want/ need more space and like the idea of significantly faster boot times and faster program load times, get an SSD drive

I decided to switch to SSDs cause one my old hard drive failed and two

Between all the computers I use (video editing, instruction, home) I have about 10 SSD hard drives installed

I have been performing PC repair for over 10 years and this drive meets all my needs and exceeds expectations right there along Samsung and all the other top brands if not

The issue was it had a regular hard drive

Easy to use a hard drive reader and Western Digital's free backup/clone software to upgrade from my old hard drive.

when the laptop finally dies, I'll use it as a spare drive for my desk top or something else

My prior version clone the drive while in a DOS Mode after reboot, without any operating system.... and it works perfectly.

Although my motherboard isn't SATA3, the drive is backwards compatible to the slower SATA versions.

The drive is not only extremely quiet but very fast.

I have a need to do a fresh install of windows 10 since my OS has been upgraded from xp to 8 to 10 and hard drives cloned there are lots of odd things going on

The read and write and transfer speeds are fast and since I put a lot of PC games on it, my game load times are a lot faster compared to having them on my regular hard drive

It is faster than backing up to internal hard drives, but not "night and day difference" quicker.

Easy to install- the only trick is that you don't need to use the black plastic rails from the old hard drive.
