- Will this fit my laptop?
- Only if your laptop has an mSATA slot. It will not fit M.2 slots, which have a different connector and keying. Check your service manual or the slot label before buying.
- Is it faster than the hard drive in my old laptop?
- Yes. Any SATA SSD is far quicker than a spinning drive for booting and loading apps. The gain is largest on machines still running a 2.5-inch hard drive.
- Does it work in a desktop?
- Only with an mSATA slot or an mSATA-to-SATA adapter. Most desktops use 2.5-inch or M.2 drives instead.
- Is 256GB enough?
- For an operating system, office apps and photos, yes. For a game library or video editing, it is tight; consider a larger capacity if your slot supports it.
- Does it support encryption?
- Yes. It supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption and self-encrypting drive features when paired with compatible BIOS and software.
- What comes in the box?
- The drive itself. No cable or adapter is included, so check whether your system needs mounting hardware.
