I was looking to add a second hard drive to my Asus computer. I have the high end gaming one with the i7 processor and 32GB RAM. The hard drive didn't do the other features any justice, so I decided to put a SSD in. But then saw this one and figured I'd give it a try. Using Acronis cloning software, cloned my main drive in a few hours. Switched them and rebooted. Seemed like it took a bit for the drive to get accustomed to the computer, but once it settled in it was much faster. I put the OEM drive as the slave. But now the files and photos on the 2nd drive lagged on opening. So I went and got a 2nd one of these for the slave. Now I must say, this computer is FAST! No lagging. Reboot time is cut to 25% of what it used to be. Maybe faster. Seek time and response time is amazing. I would recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their laptop. Not a high price tag either. Very reasonable.
