Best Dell Laptop Upgrade if you have a magnetic drive

Installed with no issues and improved the performance of my Dell laptop immensely over the 1TB Magnetic Drive it came with.

Wrong part recomended

I am not very savy with computer parts and knowing what is compatible and what isnt. I used the Dell chat service and gave the rep guy my 'service tag' to identify my computer to him (purchased through dell also) telling him I wanted to upgrade my hard drive (after 6 yrs im starting to run out of storage space for my desktop). He recomended this part as a SSD. Unfortunately there is no spot on my motherboard for this.

Storage drive

It gives me the storage space I need, the main drive was just to small. It should have been an option

Good value and fair price

Don?t know enough about ssd?s to critique it properly but plugged it in worked, no complaints. The only reason I bought it was to use up my reward points before they expired.
