Know before you buy
Yes, the 7mm form factor is compatible with standard 2.5-inch drive bays. If your desktop case only has 3.5-inch bays, you may need a simple mounting bracket to secure the drive properly.
The drive includes Acronis True Image HD cloning software, which is designed to help you migrate your operating system and data from your old drive to this new SSD. You will still need a SATA-to-USB adapter or an available internal SATA port to perform the cloning process.
Because this is a solid-state drive, it has no moving parts, which results in significantly faster boot times, quicker application launches, and better overall system responsiveness compared to a traditional spinning hard drive.
Yes, the SATA III interface is backward compatible with SATA II. However, keep in mind that the drive will be limited to the slower data transfer speeds of the older interface.
120GB is suitable for a primary drive if you intend to store your operating system and essential applications. If you plan on installing many large games or storing high-resolution media files, you may find the capacity fills up quickly.
