The 4 TB, crucial solid state drive, looked appealing, except when I got it here, it was next to impossible. Copy the sea drive files over to the new system. Despite 2 contacts with technical support, this drive still remains sitting on the sidelines, gathering dust As the support team
Did not meet my expectations for helping. I think I will have to return this for a refund unless support reaches out and does the install themselves on my computer? I used to be a hard drive and memory installation expert. When I sold computers, but this one's got me baffled
