Hello there. Please pardon my ignorance but I don't know what that is. My SSD is currently in my Dell desktop PC

This Drive is compatible with laptops. It can be used in a desktop PC, but it would require mounting hardware as well. The PC in question must be SATA drive capable.

No sorry it will only work for laptop since its a sodimm sized rams. Desktop have longer bigger rams. Hope it clears it up for ya. Take care.

Your best bet is to get an SSD drive meant for a laptop computer. This drive is not. Make sure there is room for another drive and buy one that comes with mirroring software.

This is only for a laptop. The connectors are not the same for a tower style desktop.

The SSD will work in any computer with an existing sata drive interface. You will need an adapter kit for a desktop to mount a 2.5" to a 3.5". You will be very happy with the over all performance of the SSD. Be sure to clone your hard drive or install a new version of OS and back-up your files.

2.5" drives are considered laptop drives and 3.5" drives are considered desktop drives. I don't know of any company that makes a 3.5" SSD, it's becoming increasingly popular for desktop enclosures to have 2.5" bays, which this drive will fit in. You can also buy 3.5" bay adapters than usually fit 2 or more 2.5" drives. I have one of these drives in a desktop which has a 2.5" bay. If you're really lazy you can hook the drive up and let it sit where ever. No moving parts means it's not going to vibrate/make noise.

Nope you don't need this. This converter is only useful for SSDs in desktop PCs. Your laptop uses standard 2.5 inch drives so you should be fine.

Sure you can, but why would you? This drive is ideal for a laptop that has ONE HDD slot. For a desktop, you would be better off buying a 256GB SSD and a 1TB storage drive, for around the same price as this. The reason for this, is that unless you install EVERYTHING on the 120GB SSD partition, the 1TB side will continually spin up to access something and will wear out much faster than if you just had a separate storage option.

Yes, it does, IF your desktop has a USB. The USB part of the cable plugs into the desktop port and the wider one hooks to the SSD. As regards the purchased upgrade, I dont see why not. But then I have not tried it myself.

Yes you can use this super fast drive for whatever you want. Your grammar and punctuation made my brain hurt. I own two of these SSD's, I use one in my desktop as the Windows C drive, and one in my laptop for the same reason. You can use it as the C drive or as any other drive. You can use it as a secondary drive if you like, and still install and run apps on it. This is a blazing fast SSD, and 240GB can easily store Windows an an abundance of normal size apps. I still recommend having a 500gb spinning drive for frequent file backups, but that depends on how much data you're wanting to cram onto this SSD. I rate it 10 out of 10, I love SSD's and the HyperX is a lovely one to have. Yes you can use this super fast drive for whatever you want. Your grammar and punctuation made my brain hurt.

Yes; I actually had it connected to my desktop fort a while. But for regular use you would need to purchase an adapter to make it fit properly into your desktop, which is designed for larger sized hard drives. This would be true for most SSDs, which are sized for ready insertion into a laptop. Amazon has the necessary adapters readily available; I purchased one to fit a previously purchased SSD into my desktop.

This is a notebook/laptop 2.5" drive! For desktops you should be looking at 3.5", unless your desktop is different and requires a 2.5" drive (like an iMac).

If your computer is SATA you can find a way to mount it will work in a laptop and a desktop
