First impressions were on receipt. Ths SSD is so light, that initially, on receipt, I thought there was nothing in the box (actually lighter than a floppy disk ! which is amazingOK down to facts:Very easy to install. If you are fortunate, the SSD will fit exactly into the old frame, everything should line up nicely (I have a HP Pavilion EntertainmentThis machine is running good after 10 years.I Purchased a Win 7 disc with a bonus disk of additional drivers. Loaded to the SSD which BTW you do not have to format, or partition, just leave the new drive Unallocated, and the Win 7 disc will do the restResults after loading with Win 7A quick testPower down the laptopPower on after after brief 10seconds, and My God, this is where you will see a remarkable differencePreviously, the old HDD took about 2 minutes or more at times to reach the Desktop, which included router activation kicking in and settling down (am running Broadband BTW, out of choice.Now the SSD kicks in immediately with super speed, reaching Desktop in approximately 25 SECONDS, ready to go, equating to about FIVE times fasterWill be interesting to see how things go after a few months...I don't expect anything less than this speedOne good thing is, I won't bother getting fibre connection as my brother tell me he is getting the same speed results with his fibre connection as I am with plain BroadbandOverall, a fantastic drive, well worth the outlay. Easy to install and you won't regret swapping this for your old slow outdated HDD.. Go for it and enjoy

Bottom line is that this is a value for money SSD that performs as expected. In other words no hassle, quick and silent.I bought this as a second drive for my wife's computer I'd just built. The C drive is an M.2 drive which, is far faster than this type of SSD but quite a bit more expensive so I figured that a second drive could be a tad slower but not a mechanical drive.Fitting is easy. Most PC cases do have mounting points for SSD formats or you can simply use a bit of hot glue which works fine.Quality is expected from WD being a big name brand in the drive market. So far in a few WD drives I've never had a problem and thus I don't expect this to cause me any problems.The one small niggle I had was the lack of the drive being recognised when I rebooted the computer. This was easily resolved by going into disc management and enabling the drive. There are plenty of online instructions not least from Microsoft.Overall I'm very happy with this drive which is a great balance of price, capacity, speed and reliability.
