The hard drive is the exact dimensions of... the old spinning-platter hard drive, replacing it was a breeze, and it made my wife's laptop seem like a completely different computer. Rather than waiting a couple minutes for the laptop to boot, it boots in 25 seconds. Programs pop up in a second or so when starting them. I purchased a Windows 10 license from MS, put the downloaded Windows 10 files onto a memory stick, plugged the memory stick into my wife's laptop, booted it, and 30 minutes later I had Windows installed without problem. That's how fast this hard drive is.

Haven't had any tr...oubles with Western Digital SSD drives in the 3 years I've been using them. They work very well for the average user. These aren't the fastest SATA SSD out there as there is newer technology. Ans that is reflected in the price point. I will get more of these if needed.

I replaced a 640G hard drive in an Acer Aspire with th...e SSD and wanted to restore a WIN7 system image from a USB drive. This is a new, un-formatted SSD and I simply put it into the laptop and booted from the System Repair CD that was created the same time as the WIN7 image. The repair CD recognized the SSD as the C: drive, I plugged in the USB drive, selected the image, and the SSD was formatted and the image restored flawlessly. I've never used a SSD so I didn't know if there would be unexpected complications, and there weren't any. The image was restored just as I've done on numerous hard drives. So simple. The jury is still out on reliability but so far so good.

Item is in great condition. Easy to in...stall an OS and running quiet. The good thing is lots of storage to manage media files or videos. I would recommended this to install the desktop (but sure to check the specs of it first). Very light and quiet operation. Boots up 27 to 53 seconds which is fast for an SSD. Easy packaging to protect the SSD so it won't get damaged.
