Gateway Computer Recovery Disk Windows 7 Home

If you have a computer running Windows on a legacy hard disk, you really have to upgrade. It saved me from having to buy a new computer.

I recently purchased this for the new PC desktop running Windows 10 pro at home. It gives additional disk space to the system via pci-e x1 connection. The entire process is plug and play. Best for the price!

..first 24 hours..used only 7%..couldn't ask for anything better...

I bought two of these for two different older Win10 computers with spinning hard drives that were degrading, making the computers very slow. First was my wife's nearly 9 year old laptop. First attempt at cloning drive failed because the computer shut itself off during the process. Be sure to go into power settings and disable automatic shutdown or sleep mode. Once I did that the cloning succeeded. Second PC was a desktop with a 250GB spinning drive. The SSD is 1 TB. Using the cloning wizard, it wanted to create a 217 GB Windows partition (same size as it was on the spinning drive) and it wanted to blow up the recovery partition to well over 700 GB. Well, that's stupid! It should have kept the recovery partition the same size and increased the Windows partition as much as possible. So I halted the cloning and restarted it in manual mode, which allows changing the partition sizes. In manual mode the cloning software made the correct suggestion: it kept the recovery partition and two small mysterious partitions the same sizes that they were on the hard drive, and it increased the Windows partition to 871 GB. So I accepted those sizes and did the cloning. Why couldn't the wizard have figured that out? Bottom line - pay attention during the cloning process to make sure the wizard isn't doing something dumb. Both computers are now running much faster than before. My wife is delighted with her new laptop. She says it is now super-fast. B&H sale price was great with free two day delivery.

This is a solid hard drive. I wanted a good 2TB hard drive to use as a backup drive in my Windows 7 home computer. Using hard drives larger than 2TB is painful with Window 7. So, I wanted to get as much storage as I could. B&H had a GREAT price on this drive.

This works great with Windows 10 Home x64 using Windows Fax and Scan. I did not want to use up an expansion slot in the back of the computer so this just plugs into an open USB port in the back. In order to leave it plugged in I got a USB extension so I can have the modem laying on top of the computer. Then I can just plug in the phone line whenever I want to send or receive a fax. Works great that way because I only had to install it once and it starts up every time the computer is turned on. Installation was very easy. Just remember to go in and manually turn on the modem settings and do an update to the drivers.

I recently moved from a windows platform to a Apple computer and need an adapter to connect my MacBook to my home network. The new computer does not have a Ethernet connection. This works well with my USB hub and keeps everything connected at high speeds.

Works flawlessly with T-Mobile home internet gateway which is a WiFi 6 device.

I'm getting good use out of these since Windows 10 seems to have a knack for destroying my disk drives. It hasn't destroyed one of these -- yet!

Needed to create a recovery drive for the new computer. It was going to take 10.68GB. Verbatim is a trusted brand; and this was a good price, so I bought three.
