I used this drive for almost a whole week before my laptop started messing up again . I formatted the drive and its been sitting for about 5 months.I just installed windows again to see if I could get the laptop to work right but , its just not happening . I'm selling this to fund my new computer build. I will all so include a Thermaltake Blacx 2.5"/3.5" SATA HDD USB Docking station free . I'm selling this for $250.00 Firm .
