Have not used it as I rather save all my photos on my computer and not in the cloud where they can disappear without warning.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Installed in a Dell desktop computer with an adapter I bought on eBay and I was able to clone a standard hard drive to this SSD without a glitch. Boot time is almost instant and programs load a lot faster. Comes with cloning software.

It spins, it works. Now ask me a year or two from now if it still works. That is the reviews that Best Buy should implement. I want to know how reliable a product is years down the road.

SimpliSafe - Protect Home Security System - White
Only at Best BuySimpliSafe Protect Home Security System: Keep your entire home or business safe with this security kit, which features 4 entry sensors as well as a motion sensor for comprehensive protection. Program and update settings using your compatible mobile device for convenient operation.
 

Can this system work with a camera. Also, are you able to add more censors later.

You can add more cameras but they have to be from SimpliSafe. You can also add more of their sensors. Everything communicates with the master controller which must pickup the wireless signal from each camera and sensor in order for each item to work properly.

I'm looking to add an SSD to my Alienware 13 r3. Is this SSD compatible with my laptop? If not then any recommendations guys?

Open up your laptop and if it has a conventional hard drive then it will work. If you do not see a conventional looking drive, then you already have a solid state drive in it that looks like a piece of memory stick. You can purchase a bigger SSD then what you have or possibly add a second drive. See this YouTube video for instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-HenSikmqM

Ideal for use with desktop performance towers, all-in-one computers, consumer-grade NAS devices or desktop RAID arrays, this Seagate internal hard drive features a 1TB capacity, so you can store plenty of digital files.
 

What type of partition table does this drive have,windows 7 install says it needs a GPT?

Seagate 1TB internal ata drive,m/n st310005n1a1as-rk.
It will take any type of partition table that software can create.

For Windows 7 to Windows 10, it will work without any problems. Just install it and format it with the default settings. You do not need to worry about the type of parition.

Would this work in my Dell Inspiron 570 along with the hard drive that came with my Dell

Yes it will work. You will need to format it once it is installed and after Windows has installed the drivers for it. You will then have a new drive letter to access it by.

Compatible with IMAC Model A1311 [late 2009 model] 21.5"

Can I use this hard drive to replace the original hard drive. Apple support was of no help and could not / would not supply me with a list of compatible drives.

Thank you

Don
Conditionally yes. Read the comments on this page about the heat sensor:

will this upgrade my dell xps400 to current windows? if not, what is available.

Windows is software and this is hardware. Two different animals. This hard drive comes with nothing on it.

If you are wanting to install a larger hard drive and clone your existing drive to it, then yes it will work in your computer.

You have an extra slot so you can add this drive as a secondary drive. Once formatted, it will have its own drive letter. You can then use it to store all your documents, music, videos, etc. on it instead of the original drive.

Can I use this internal storage drive (Model # ST310005N1) for backup of the main computer data?

If you are going to mount it inside a the computer, then yes. You could also go with an external USB hardd rive.

But then what are you going to do if a tornado or hurrican comes through and you main computer and your back up drive wind up miles away in a lake? Or a fire destoys both? Or a burglar takes both?

You should consider a cloud based backup such as Carbonite. They backup immeaditaly without you having to do naything.
