I bought this harddrive for a Dell touchscreen that had become slower than a snail's pace and just wouldn't hold a good charge despite buying a new battery for it. That laptop literally took 20 minutes to boot up and was no longer effective for me to use for my web business so I put it away and was actually planning to just buy a new laptop.
I'm glad I that instead of buying a new laptop I save myself hundreds of dollars and instead bought this 2TB SSD. I love my laptop so I'm pretty stoked that its working like new now.
The boot-up time is immediate; the battery power is now like when I first bought it; tractioning the system and internet no longer gives me a headache; and charging it now actually takes waaaay less time to do so.
I put it down for a couple of days and did not use it so I could test if the battery would be dead and there was still a charge when I powered it up.
Of course, the storage capacity is insane and I am so pleased. All my old files were transferred over with ease, but, back up your passwords because those for the most part did not get transferred (this might have had something to do with how I had stored them in the first place, so it could be an individual case for me).
I had a professional install the new harddrive and do the transfers and it took about 2-3 hours for everything to be done because the old harddrive was a HHD.
Money well spent!
