Won't use anything but Samsung for all my SSDs. Easy install and the data migration utility makes upgrading a current system a breeze. Very good SSD for the cost. Cheaper drivers always give me issues. Never had any issues with Samsung's drivers.

Not as nice as a Samsung but does the job. Needed a half decent TV for my wife's salon and this did the trick. Picture isn't as good as my Samsung but its OK.

All in all I love this watch. It has plenty of great features and works great. The only issue is that the dial is made of aluminum with a black coating that scratches extremely easy. I have only been wearing it for 2 weeks and it is all scratched up in multiple places. Should be made of rubber or at least replaceable.

Lately have been upgrading all my customers and clients to SSD Drives. Definitely worth the upgrade. Adding an SSD to even the oldest PC will breathe new life into it. Never had any issue at all with Samsung SSD Drives. There are cheaper drives out there but they will not out perform this Samsung one.

Is this compatable with an HP G62-340us laptop which had a 320GB drive installed but never near full?

This should work fine. It's basically the same as a standard 2.5" laptop drive. The only thing I would make sure of is that your laptop bios is up to date before installing since some older HP bios restrict installing 3rd party SSDs.

As long as your system supports standard sata connections on your current drive this will work. It's basically a standard 2.5" hard drive.

When the Samsung galaxy watch Bluetooth version is connected to your phone via Bluetooth what features will it not do that a cellular galaxy watch would do?

None really. Cellular will allow you to take advantage of features with out your phone. Say you go on a run or walk and do not want to take your phone with you. You will still be able to send and receive calls. With the bluetooth only version you will need the phone present to do it.

why use only for laptop? Can you use it for Desktop?

As long as you have an extra SATA cable and SATA power cable in your desktop this will work fine. The only other issue would be a place to mount it. Unlike traditional HDD they do not have to be sitting perfectly Vertical or Horizontal.

I purchased Windows 10 at Best Buy and installed it on my current hard drive. Do I have to repurchase Windows, or will the Samsung cloning software also transfer the OS? If not, can I reinstall my current copy of Windows on the SSD drive?

The Samsung Data Migration utility will transfer over your Operating system partition and boot up like nothing is different. The factory recovery partition will not transfer over however, but that will not stop the drive from booting up to your operating system.

Does it have bottom screws/screw holes and will it work in a Dell Latitude E6320?

Yes has the same mounting holes as a standard 2.5" laptop hard drive. Yes as long as your Latitude had a standard Hard Drive in it this will fit the same.

Can I use this on my security surveillance system.

You can use it however you should use a drive that is designed for a Surveillance system. Western Digital uses the "Purple" line of drives for this purpose. This drive would work fine but is more designed for use in a Desktop. Surveillance systems tend to write to the drive differently and the drive may fail prematurely is used.
