Will this fit my laptop?

Only if your machine has an mSATA slot. It is a small card, not a 2.5-inch drive, so it will not fit a standard drive bay without an adapter.

Is it faster than a hard drive?

Yes. As an SSD it boots and loads programs much faster than a mechanical drive. It is still well behind modern NVMe drives.

Only with a motherboard or adapter that provides an mSATA slot. Most current desktops use M.2 instead.

For a basic Windows install and a few apps, yes. Games and large media libraries will fill it fast.

It uses the SATA 6Gb/s interface, so it works in SATA 3 ports and steps down to slower SATA ports.
