This drive I purchased for my wife to give her a little bit faster speeds than the 5400 RPM drives that HP supplies. I would have gotten her an SSD, however the bigger you go, the more expensive it becomes. So I settled for this for the time being. When SSDs become cheaper, I will replace this with one of those and re purpose this one for another computer

I use this drive enclosed in a Zhenio enclosure for miscellaneous jobs and transfers between computers. Transfer speeds in a USB 3.0 port average about 60 mb/s reaching 100 mb/s at times. some files will slow to 8-10 mb/s such as a dense video clip. I purchased this to use a an enclosed external backup but really needed 1tb.

My 2013 Laptop was running super slow, and we just used it for downloading and streaming movies. Now we have more space and way faster. Easy to install; in fact my 10 year old grandson installed it while I walked him through it!

QuestionIs this harddrive compatible with Laptop Dell Inspiron 15R (5521)?
Asked 5 years ago by Dib.
- Answer The Western Digital Black 2.5" drive is the most dependable and best performing and universal replacement drive for most laptops, unless you opt for an SSD, solid state drive, in a computer that will accept it. Consult your owner's manual for drive replacement instructions or go to the Dell website for specifications and instructions for your model.
