Question 1

Does this 2.5" drive come with a 3.5" adapter kit (a kit that will allow this SSD to be mounted in a 3.5" drive slot)?

Accepted Answer

I've found that some velcro on the back of the drive will hold it in place on the side of the hard drive cage. I've been running one like this, practially 24/7/365 for over four years with a relatively heavy workload during the day. It's still where I put it, no problems whatsoever.

Question 2

Will this drive work with the Dell Inspiron 570?  This computer was purchased in 2012 and is probably the first generation SATA.

Accepted Answer

There shouldn't be any reason it would not. I installed it in a 2001 Compaq EVO D510 that normally host a PATA IDE controller. I converted to a SATA R.A.I.D via PCI and, it actually boots from the SanDisk SSD (system drive) through the R.A.I.D and QUITE WELL.  I've used SSD like this as bootable system drives on older units than yours like the DELL GX520 and it works well with them to. Hope this answers the question!

Question 3

My games have been crashing due to overworking my current HD. When I open task manager it always says the game is using 99% or 100% of the disk.
Would running my games on an SSD solve this problem?

Accepted Answer

The hard drive being "overworked" while playing a game could lead to slowdowns but should NOT be the cause of games crashing. The drive running constantly and the crashes are signs of something else going on (probably adware, virus, etc. on your computer). I would suggest getting the free version of Malwarebytes (just google to find it) and run a scan. I would also suggest removing your antivirus software and just using the built in Microsoft Windows Defender (if you have Windows 10). That being said, SSDs are always worth it since they speed up the computer so much! Good luck, I hope you get your problem squared away!

Question 4

What mounting hardware do you need to install this in a desktop PC?

Accepted Answer

You can either use a 2.5 to 3.5 mounting kit, or use a couple of long cable ties to attach it to something convenient. SSD drives don't produce much heat or need vibration isolation so you don't really need to do anything formal. Connectors are standard SATA.

Question 5

Does Acronis also transfer Microsoft Office?..

Accepted Answer

As of Dec 2016, the bundled Acronis True Image HD software does indeed transfer Microsoft Office, in addition to all the other software on the existing hard disk.

Question 6

It says it comes with cloning instructions, would these work with cloning your Operating System? Wanting to use this drive as a boot drive, with my current drive being used for storage only instead.

Accepted Answer

Without cloning instructions... would these work with cloning your Operating System?... Yes ... of course... work with cloning your Operating System. The best software for cloning HDD or SSD -> Acronis (version 2017) P.S. With cloning instructions [means -> manual]. Good luck
