Question 1

included ram???

Accepted Answer

This is a 512GB M2.2280 solid state drive.  It goes into the M2 slot in most new motherboards and it functions as a hard drive.  If you have an older motherboard that does not have a M2 slot, then you will need to get an adapter in order to use it.  This is not a memory module if that it's your question.

Question 2

Will it work on windows 7 ... Are windows 7 drivers available ?

Accepted Answer

Windows 7 should be fine without any drivers on these drives since they're SATA based, not NVME. It's the NVME drives that you would need the drivers for. I did a clean install of Windows 7 on my laptop that has a SATA m.2 drive, and the only driver I needed to mess with before installation was for USB 3.0.

Question 4

Compatible with Asus 15 n580V?

Accepted Answer

I am guessing that your laptop has a 2.5" SATA slot for SSD.  In this case,  you will have to get a M2. SSD to 2.5" SATA adapter.  You will install the M2.SSD to the 2.5" SATA adapter, then you can put it into your laptop.  Google M.2 SSD to 2.5" adapter to get a description of what I am talking about.  If your laptop has a M.2 slot already, make sure it's compatible with this SSD and not NVME SSD, otherwise it will not fit.  I think most laptops with built in M2. slot only works with NVME SSDs.  Good luck.

Question 5

I'm lazy!  Would someone, please guide me to the proper equipment I'm going to need to install this in my 2012-13?? Sony VAIO Windows 7 lappy?  I would love it to be faster!

Accepted Answer

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. The Sony VAIO may not have support for a M.2 drive such as this Micron model but, it may very well support a 2.5 inch Solid State Drive. I recommend viewing at the manual for your laptop or contacting the manufacturer for more information and possible assistance.

Question 6

Does this SSD heat up during casual operations?

Accepted Answer

Not really. Works great for me. There has been some debate about how good this drive actually is. The minds that be say that this drive will last you about 10 years as long as you are not always moving around large chunks of data. 10/10 would recommend this drive at the 44 price.

Question 7

Question 8

As Micron does not provide warranty RMAs to end users, will the three year warranty be handled by MyDigitalDiscount?

Accepted Answer

Looking at the "MyDigitalDiscount" for the same product shows that they handle the warranty. Have no idea about any manufacturers warranty that may apply directly with Micron.  Micron SSD warranties are either 3 or 5 years, info may be in the blister pack.

Question 9

is this compatible with alienware 15 r3 ?

Accepted Answer

According to Dell, the alienware 15 r3 has 3 M.2 PCIe ports:

-Two in size 2280 that work at 4x
-One 1 in size 2242 running at 2x

This drive is size 2280 and should work in one of the two m.2 2280 slots in your machine.
