This 2.5' Solid State Drive (SSD) is a good value for the money, especially when on sale, which happens a lot. We've used other brands to upgrade and repair PC's, and to date, have not had a problem with the SanDisk brand. We have had other brands fail within 120 days, but not any of these. We've installed over 30 of these SSD's in customer's computers without a hitch. It does not come with an adapter to allow a 2.5" drive to fit in a 3.5 drive bay. If you're installing this in a desktop computer, you will probably need an adapter. Many local computer shops carry them for around $15.00 or less. Not having an adapter if you need one, will bring your upgrade project to a halt, or look unprofessional as you try and secure it in the larger drive bay, so check before you buy. The 240 GB size easily holds the Windows Operating System, and the normal programs and data that most people use. If you have a lot of data, get a regular mechanical Hard Drive just to hold your data, and use this SSD for the OS and your programs. That gives you the added benefit of being able to more easily move your data from one computer to another, or save either the OS or the Data in case one of the drives fail. Make sure you set the computer up to automatically store the data on the second hard drive if you go this route. A good choice for an upgrade project, or replacement of a failing hard drive. Gives new life to older computers. You'll find yourself going from power on to a working desktop in as little as 15 seconds. You'll also notice a dramatic increase in speed all the way around. Good luck and happy computing.
