Will this fit my ThinkPad?

It fits machines with a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay. Many slim ThinkPads use M.2 slots instead, so check your model's drive bay before buying.

Is it faster than the hard drive it replaces?

Yes. A SATA SSD boots and loads apps far faster than a 2.5-inch hard drive, though it is slower than an NVMe drive.

It is a self-encryption standard. With compatible management software, the drive encrypts data in hardware, which can simplify full-disk encryption.

For an operating system, office apps and documents, yes. For large game libraries or video work, it fills up quickly.

The drive itself. Screws, brackets and SATA cables are not included, so reuse the ones from your machine.

Yes, any desktop with a 2.5-inch bay and a SATA port can use it as a boot or storage drive.
