Q: QuestionThe description lists a spacer that comes with the SSD. What is the spacer for? Is it to mount the 2.5 SSD into a 3.5 slot?

Asked 9 years ago by clueless.

• A:Answer In basic terms: Ultimately the spacer is for older laptop models that have "extra" space in the hd slot. You can put the ssd in place without it, however there may be room for the ssd to move around/rattle. With the spacer, that extra room is filled. With newer laptops you will not have this issue at all (laptops are so much thinner than they used to be). Older higher end laptops (MacBooks) that still have room for a 2.5" hd, won't need the spacer (usually there are bracket screws to put into place). If you are wanting to put this into a 3.5in slot: 1st check your computer case and see if it already can support 2.5in. If not, you will need a 2.5 to 3.5 bracket. You can grab them for less than 6 bucks on Amazon.

Q: QuestionI have a Dell All-In-One Inspiron One 2330 that needs a new hard drive. The current hard drive is a 2TB 7200 RPM Seagate, can I replace it with this SSD?

Asked 8 years ago by MC821.

• A:Answer Possibly, but it might not work as expected. I tried to use one of these to replace the physical drive in a low-end Dell system, but discovered that the CPU and motherboard were not able to keep up with the drive. Before this, the computer was slow and only able to run one or two things, afterward, it MIGHT be faster at times, but generally it simply stuttered. So the key to this working is how good the motherboard is, and whether it can handle a much much faster drive.

Q: QuestionHi This disk work with a Macbook pro mid 2010 ??

Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The drive needs to be reformatted first before it will work with the Mac OS. The disk utility found through Spotlight will perform this task. SuperDuper should be used to clone the previous HD to this SSD.

Q: QuestionWhat is required to transfer the data on the original HD in a PC to the SSD (e.g., harness , adapter, etc.)?

Asked 9 years ago by xfer process.

• A:Answer The drive includes the software, but you will need an additional SATA cable. You will need to install the Acronis software and then install the new hard drive using that extra SATA cable. Use the software to copy the contents from your old drive to the new SSD drive. Remove the old drive and you'll be running on the new drive.

Asked 7 years ago by RaycerX.

• A:Answer Yes I have installed these in the 2011macbook pro models just keep a backup of your data if the drive goes you will lose everything and no recovery can be done on ssd hard drives. Once you get in the later model years you run into a different connector for the hard drive. But yes this should work with the basic sata connector.

Q: QuestionI believe the transfer rate on here is wrong: 6144 megabytes per second seems really high even for a SSD.

Asked 8 years ago by Noctys.

• A:Answer You are correct. Whoever created this product page doesn’t know how to convert gigabits to megabytes. Just got mine in the mail and it’s actually 540 megabytes per second on the box. Kinda disappointed.

Q: QuestionCan this drive be installed in place of a CD drive in a MacBook Pro laptop?. Would it connect with the original CD flat cables?

Asked 9 years ago by DonB29.

• A:Answer You could use this SSD to replace the existing optical drive to increase storage, but you will need to buy a chassis that will act as a cradle for the drive to keep it securely in place (SSDs are much smaller than an optical drive) and as an adapter to connect the SSD to the optical drive motherboard connection. Check out the UniLink (TM) 2nd SATA 2.5" HDD Hard Drive Caddy Bay for Apple MacBook Pro Unibody SuperDrive for $14.99.

Q: QuestionHitecredneck Will this work in a Toshiba Cozumel 18.4 laptop

Asked 9 years ago by Hitecredneck.

• A:Answer I tried to look up the 'Toshiba Cozumel 18.4' laptop and I wasn't able to find any specs on it (sorry!), so I can't answer the question accurately. If you look through the specs for your laptop and it currently contains a SATA drive (preferably, SATA 3) then this drive should work.

Q: QuestionCan I easily install this myself, if I have never worked on a computer before?

Asked 9 years ago by Ed.

• A:Answer If you're replacing a SATA drive, then doing it yourself is possible but there are things that may get you (BIOS settings and so on; also, on some computer/laptop models, opening the device yourself can void the warranty). Might I recommend the handy Geek Squad for installation? Not only are they pretty fast but they're fairly cheap and can move anything you have from the old drive onto the new.
