Question 1

Does this come with a 3.5 in. adapter?  It's a refurb so I'm just double checking.

Accepted Answer

No. It doesn't.  Its still a great drive

Question 2

could you use this in a gateway laptop and with windows8.1 oem software?

Accepted Answer

I have a very old Dell Inspiron E1505. When I did my research the only thing specific I could find was that I needed a SATA II. I have been running Windows 8.0 from a XP upgrade (wow that was a huge leap). Even without the SSD Windows 8.0 was 4x faster on my old laptop than XP. Brought new life to an old machine. If you are simply looking for speed, I would suggest upgrade to Windows 8 first and then see if the SSD is even necessary. Hope things work out for you.

Question 3

Does anyone know if this is a 25nm (52,472 MB) or a 34nm (57,241 MB) Vertex 2?  For raid purposes its best if all drives are identical.  I have 3 of the older 34nm drives and I would like to obtain a 4th, 5th and 6th one.

Accepted Answer

They are not compatible. All drives have to have the same Rev number.
