    Worked great for about a year. Had super fast boot time and noticeable good performance until it started blue screening me and a few weeks later just died.

    I purchased the drive for a laptop for my wife. It was a much better size than the one she had and solved a number of issues. Make sure you have a way to transfer all of the data and operating system, but other than that, a great purchase.

    Bought it to put in my wife's Acer laptop. Checked with Geeksquad before buying and they said it should work. Laptop would see it but not allow it to be partitioned so Windows would not install. Was looking forward to the speed boost.

    It is a perfect hardrive for solid state. They are small so they don’t take up tons of space in my tower.
