Alienware Laptop Ssd Or Hdd

if you want to copy your data from laptop to new internal HDD/SSD this is a good one.

I had to upgrade my laptop from HDD to SSD, and that left me with a huge storage problem. I bought two of these and maxed them out with 300 Steam games, and so far, all of them have worked fine! If you're in need of some extra space, this is a good buy. One thing to note: Windows automatically hibernates thumb drives by default, but it's easy to fix with a web search.

This thing is great if you wish to upgrade a laptop or desktop that currently is using an HDD. This ssd will make boot times great and just overall system use feel more responsive. The only downside I have is it isn't the greatest ssd for pure speed but, for the price you are paying it is well worth it.

If you haven't done so yet and you have a standard HDD in your laptop, please please upgrade to a SSD. The difference in performance is nothing short of extraordinary. Crucial makes a great drive at a reasonable price. Please get one if you haven't all ready. You will be amazed.

Cloned a slow laptop hdd to a new ssd drive via usb port with mini tool partition wizard. It took so little time. I left it alone for 40 min and it was done when I got back. Perfect tool for this job!

Got this to put an old 7200RPM HDD out of my laptop when i upgraded to SSD. Getting the same transfer speed with the drive in the case that I got when it was in the laptop (when connected to USB3 port).

I had an older laptop with an i7 CPU but Task Manager showed that the HDD at 100% slowed down the overall performance. With SSD technology so much improved and more affordable, replacing the HDD with this SSD resulted in a laptop that boots up almost immediately and runs Photoshop and Lightroom so much faster. It also uses much less power so the battery lasts longer. Acronis True Image for Crucial is a free downlead which lets you copy the entire HDD drive to the SSD mounted in an external USB drive. Next you remove the HDD and insert the SSD (if there is only one 2.5 slot). In the very rare situation in which the image copy did not work, the original HDD can still be used. Newer laptops use the smaller and faster M.2 form factor NVMe drives, but for older 2.5 drives this is the product to get. Make sure the drive is compatible with your PC or laptop which it is in almost all cases.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old laptop was very slow and struggled opening applications with a HDD. I replaced the HDD with this Kingston SSD. It is fairly fast and easy to setup. With the new SSD, the laptop is now way faster and the system response is great. Windows boots up really fast and applications open up quickly. I would definitely recommend this SSD if you are looking to replace an old HDD or just need to add some extra storage. This is a much reliable SSD and available at a lower cost compared to others.

Laptop was reporting hard drive as failing. Decided to replace my 5400rpm HDD with an SSD boot drive and a 7200rpm HDD into this Data Doubler. Instructions could have been a little better, but were easy enough to follow. Installation really was not that difficult. Kit came with all tools necessary for job and there were a few extra screws in the pack just in case I lost one of those tiny things. Tripled my onboard storage!

I replaced an OEM HDD on a Windows 8 HP G7-2246nr laptop with this SSD using Macronium Reflect Free. Noticed improved speed right away. Old HDD was hot to touch when removed. Glad it's gone. Here is what I did. 1) Created system image of entire old HDD to additional external USB HDD using Windows 8 File Recovery tool just in case. 2) Purchased USB 3 to SATA cable. 3) Installed Reflect and viewed support page that explains how to use Reflect. IMPORTANT 4) Cloned all partitions of old HDD in the same order that they are listed under source disk (0) in Reflect. Since is was downsizing from 512 GB old HDD to 240 GB SDD, I paused after dragging C: into destination disk to resize it down to 197 GB and set the drive letter from Auto to C. 5) Added all subsequent partitions including D for recovery (25 GB). Finished Clone keeping all partitions at original size except for C drive. 5) Shut down laptop and swapped out the hard drives and rebooted. Windows 8 recognized the SSD and there was no need to go into EUFI.
