question

OK, another question.Why did my first drive had a formatted capacity of 119.24GB, the second drive ,even though the same drive, only 111.7GB?Could someone please explain that??For me it looks like the first one was actually 128GB, the second only 120GB (both formatted with NTFS, both a single partition)...
Asked by: Mike
It would appear that the second one not only has the 7% reserved space, as all of our SSD drives do, but the remainder is likely the recovery drive that is created by the OS. This is the computer's boot disk?

question

Does this drive work in a Laptop other than Mac as well?
Asked by: Mike
This worked in a few non-laptop based Windows and Linux PCs, so it should work in a PC based laptop.
