Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Does this come with data transfer program?
A: No, the drive does not come with a data transfer tool ... I found and used Farstone.com (Drive Clone 11) Home version is free download. Worked like a CHARM ... you will also need an adapter to connect the drive to to USB (assuming you are cloning a laptop?) I purchased Sabrent (2.5" SATA Hard Drive / SSD to USB 3.0 Adapter) mail-order. One Note - after you install the cloned drive you will get a popup every time you boot your PC to Upgrade the software - simply uninstall the software to resolve this.
Q: How does this mount in a 3.5 inch drive bay?
A: check the web ... there are numerous bays available to accommodate mounting an SSD into a 3.5 inch bay. I purchased one from Sabrent (2.5" SSD and SATA harddrive to desktop 3.5" bay bracket.) you mentioned 2.75" - I believe that is actually considered 2.5" .. these are basically all the same size.
Q: is this pretty good for my acer M5 481p-6644?
A: I just put the ScanDisk Ultra II 240gb in my Gateway NE72214u, which is near to the same specs as your Acer M5 481p-6644. If you have the original installation disks and the time, it may be fun to just try to install it by yourself. If not, just pay the dudes to install it and get on with enjoying it. Hopefully by now you have already had it installed, but if your still waiting, I would definitely choose this specific Solid State Drive, as it has a "No Wait Boot Up and Shut Down" compared to other brands upgraded models, and it made a big difference in the boot up, speed and smoothness of my machine. The ScanDisk Ultra II has a decent benchmark rating. Some other drives are faster, but you will not be able to judge that, because our computers are not going to get the top speed anyways as our hard drive controller is SATA II, and the SSD is configured for the newer SATA III controllers as in the new laptops built for the top speed with larger front side buses. It is like the difference between a normal USB 2.0 and an upgraded USB 3.0. I saw the transfer speed between my USB Flash Drive increase by about 1/3, and my movies and games are way super smooth now. For me, I really needed the 240bg because Windows 8 wants 100gb for the operating system, which is way much more than Windows 7, so the 120gb drives are not right for me. Hope you pull the trigger on this one.
Q: DOES IT WORK IN AN INTEL NUC6i3SYH? THANKS.
A: undefined
Q: Is this compatible with my Asus K50i laptop?

Q: Will this work with a Toshiba Satellite P55-A5312
A: yes they will work on any windows computers and for macs they just have to be formatted for that OS
