A:AnswerThis product is a standard 7mm height, 2.5 inch SATA drive. Anywhere a 2.5 inch HDD with SATA connector is used, this drive will replace it. There is no setup other than to clone the HDD onto the SSD. You can use a SATA-to-USB adapter to plug it into the existing computer and clone the contents of the HDD on to the SSD, through the USB port. ONce it is cloned, you remove the back cover and swap the drives.
You will need cloning software on the computer. There are open source clone utilities available. I used Paragon Hard Disk Manager (bought online) and it worked flawlessly.
A:AnswerSSD Drives will improve any PC performance by 10x. Better than adding RAM. SanDisk is an excellent brand and high quality for the price. Will fit all PC desktops and laptops and most Mac's.
A:AnswerI currently have mine installed and strictly use them for all other apps, Steam and Origin games. All you need to do is open up the computer case, install it by connecting it to your motherboard Sata port. I would suggest ports 1-6 or 0-5 if that is what they have. Once installed you may have to finalize the SSD to be able to use it. I would also say to uninstall any games and the Steam app from your computer main drive first. When that is done, just install Steam on that drive (SSD) by clicking on browse button when it asks where to install. Then, reinstall all your games because if you don't it will look for the games in the wrong place and cause nothing but frustration. That should be all that you need to do. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerI'm betting it will....I put one in a 2009 and a 2010 MacBook Pro.
Remember to take the little posts of the sides of your old hard drive and put them into the SSD you are putting in.
It keeps the SSD from banging around in the space.
Good luck
A:AnswerIt should have no problem fitting in. The SATA SSD drives are not any bigger than the old drives with magnetic platters. . in fact. . they are usually the same length and width. . but not as high.
A:AnswerI'd check the format of the drive on your Mac. If it's not Fat32, but rather an OS X format, Windows won't be able to read the contents of the drive without software made for reading Mac formatted disks.
A:AnswerNo operating system comes with this. You can clone your old drive and it's OS onto the new drive if you have a modicum of skills or pay someone to do it for you.
A:AnswerI've seen someone on Youtube go through the whole process of opening and install a new drive. Just search for IMac HD replacement (or something like that) on youtube.
Or ifixit.com has step by step instruction as well.
