    Made my wife's i7 laptop about 5x faster!

    Putting this WD SSD in my wife's 1 year old i7 laptop finally woke that thing right up. Before that, she pretty much refused to even use it, much preferring my 6 yr old i5 laptop, with it's retro-fitted Samsung SSD, since that old thing was vastly outperforming her new one! Now I finally have my old laptop back! The cloning software, from WD's websight worked perfectly to copy her original HD & OS over to the new SSD, along with the use of a portable SATA HD enclosure that I already had on hand. Those inexpensive enclosures are really worth buying, anytime you upgrade to an SSD, since you can then use your original drive as a removable drive or for an OS & file back up.

    Easy to install and flawless performance thus far. Windows 10 used to take more than 10 minutes to load and be usable. Now it loads in less than 1 minute.

    I have a 7-year old desktop that had slowed down quite a bit. With the lockdown I needed a quick way to upgrade it so my kid could do his school work. This SSD has turned out to be a fantastic investment. I also got the Apricorn cable and the SSD tray. I used the Apricorn data transfer cable to move all data from the old harddrive to this one. I had to leave it on overnight (turn-off all power saving mode and screensavers). I followed the instructions from the Youtube replace the old HD with this SSD and it works great. Thanks BB for getting me the drive so promptly (next day). All round great investment.
