  • QuestionWould this be good for a gaming computer? I got my boys the iBUYPOWER - Gaming Desktop - Intel i5-10400F - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB - 240GB SSD + 1TB HDD Model: BB991R. Is this compatible and do I need anything else to connect? TIA :)

    Asked by Mommabear85.

    • Answer You could purchase this item but it's not necessary. The setup you provided already has a ssd. Most of the time when you are wanting a setup (unless you are wanting to reduce loading times for games) you will do one smaller ssd (solid state drive) at about 128 - 256 gb for the windows system files this is going to make loading times for the computer itself much better. You will want to keep the ssd semi empty and fill the hdd (hard drive disk) with the games itself. This is kinda considered what most "average gamers" use. And while the crossover (meaning at what time a SSD and a HDD will cost the same) should be by 2022 until then a HDD is a bit cheaper. SSDs also have a maximum rewrite before they burn out. I was reading the other day that a ssd should last 2 years on 100gb of read and write per day. Since most people use a fraction of that (maybe 1/10th of 100gb daily) means it should last for 7-10 years on decent use. However seeing your setup. The biggest upgrade you could give yourself is more ram. While 8 is plenty for most games. If the kids are gonna want to play the latest triple A games (call of duty, battlefield, far cry, Etc. Etc.) Then having 16gb of ram is going to give you the biggest improvement. Make sure you find something that is a 2x 8gb instead of a single 16gb. Seeing as you already have 8gb you would be best finding 2 identical 8gb sticks but it's not necessary to have identical ram. TL:DR : if you have the extra money to drop, then yes buying a SSD for your setup would be nice and would load games (when you launch them) much faster (anywhere from 30 to 80% faster than a standard 5200 rpm hdd). But you'll find yourself with just as much of a "faster" PC by buying another 8 GB ram stick (or 2 if it came with 2x 4gb)

  • QuestionWill this SSD hard drive work on my old HPE 570t with a 3.5 to 2.5 conversion chassis?

    Asked by Rookiesmom.

    • Answer It should, but you'll be limited to 3Gb/s by the older SATA 3G. I know it's going to sound cheesy but you might actually consider hook-and-loop fasteners or stretch-to-remove tape and just adhere it to the existing bay chassis.

  • QuestionWill this drive work with my older Dell XPS 435MT computer?

    Asked by George.

    • Answer Yup, just make sure to clone or transfer your files to this one if you wanna retain your files and settings. Since this looks like an older desktop pc, though, I would probably buy an adapter tray as well. That way it can fit where the hard drive used to be without flopping around while moving your pc...

  • QuestionWill this work on the Dell G3 3500 gaming laptop?

    Asked by lisaonthelake.

    • Answer if it runs on windows it should. The computer does not really know what kind of drive is in it. As long as it is SATA, I guess it would work. Do not forget, you have to format these SSD's prior to installing them or windows will not recognize them.

  • QuestionI’m Trying to install this into a 2008 MacBook Pro 13". Will it be ok install?

    Asked by Sherman.

    • Answer As a macbook pro should have 2.5 inch hdd setup then yes it should install just fine. However due to the age of the laptop you might not notice any major loading differences as it probably is not updated enough to see the true power of the SSD. But yes it should install and load just fine. Just know that if you are replacing the main hard drive this will get rid of everything on the old hard drive including the system OS.

  • QuestionI have a Dell Inspiron 560s with a WD6400AAKS-75A7B2 ATA device Can I replace the above with a Crucial CT1000MX500SSD1 Thank you

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer If I'm seeing the image of the motherboard correctly, it looks like it has sata ports on it. This drive will be able to plug into it if that's true. Just be aware that you need to plug in both data and power cables into the drive, so if the power supply doesn't have sata power already then you may need a molex to sata power adapter.
