will this increase speed or performance?

It won't increase speed but it will drastically improve performance a good way to get more speed is to also purchase a d-restricted boss I got mine from them as well gave me bout 10 15 more miles outta it

I don't know, If your notebook already has 2 gd memory and you want to add 2 additional gb and you have 160gb hard drive maybe it could get faster, yet with what you have now have you pc should be fast enough, in my opinion. (sorry for bad spelling)

Yes. No. It helps with transfer speeds, burst modes, and it's gold....GOLD!

Yes, however the speed results will be limited to which speed sata your motherboard supports. Still a major upgrade over regular mechanical hds though. Operating system startup time and folder access will be considerably faster.

Yes, as long as its a 3.5 inch drive with a SATA interface. If the drive has more speed than the USB 2 interface could deliver then you'll get more speed in this USB 3.0 enclosure, but if the drive was already at max speed, then you will not see any speed increase.

Yes, and a slight speed increase in loading many games. Bootup about 15 percent faster as well. Most noticeable when loading in pvp matches in games.

For those of you that have increased the memory, can you see a difference in performance?

Could be, I'm happy with speed, however install SSD for the operating system which makes it very fast!

It's hard to pinpoint precisely, but considering you have a socket 775 motherboard, I'm guessing the rest of the hardwareis a bit dated too. You will get a speed bump, not a major one. If you couple that cpu upgrade with a SSD hard drive, thenyou will notice the difference.

Performance increase with the RAM upgrade but, installing an SSD really did the trick. Well worth the small extra investment.

You can, as with any other flash drive, set it up to be used as virtual RAM, if that's what you're asking. It may or may not make any noticeable speed increase though. So if you don't need a small portable storage device and you just want a faster computer, you may want to just buy something that's main purpose is that.

I'm sure it would but you wouldn't see any speed benefit from it since the 1-gigabit network speed would be the limiting factor. Do you have another reason for wanting to use an SSD such as a harsh operating environment or something?

Depends on what you're using it for, but I would say in most categories yes, you'll see a difference. I used this to revitalize an aging gaming PC and saw immediate improvements in performance. If you're doing audio/video rendering you'll likely see a benefit. Office work/email will probably show less of an improvement.

None at all, nice performance enhancement...no audible sound increase and horsepower gain noted.

I would suggest you get a later version that would allow for more ram to be added. This machine is slow. Could be a headache for tasks that require heavy files or working with programs that require speed. I use this for documents and internet surfing.

Absolutely, you will see a substancial performance increase if you have a mid or high range processor.

Yes, definitely will improve the performance on Intel I5 and I7 processors especially 2nd generation or newer processors.
