Go ahead, give your old laptop a new life. It's really worth it, I should have bought it a long time ago. I use it for office work, some less demanding graphics, 3D modeling. It is necessary to ensure that the computer does not pile data on the disk in some nonsensical volumes - for example, nonsensical bug/crash reports etc - this could really upset the disk.
Fast, quiet
Laptop battery life at least doubled compared to a solid state HDD
Huge increase in comfort of working on the laptop, no more waiting for the disk to "chug". Huge speedup of any disk work - starting programs, saving complicated projects, etc.
Easy installation in place of the original HDD by a "trained amateur"
When replacing the original HDD in the laptop, no reduction is needed - a few screws, click click click, and off you go.
Capacity
The drive is designed for servers, immortal in a laptop for a normal user (well - we'll see, but years and decades can do that.: -) )

It's working as it should.
The screw holes are not metal, so the screw is cut into the plastic (for the price I would expect it)

I have experienced the GOLD version of HDD mainly with its reliability, but for SSD GOLD the price is still high, SSD RED is such a middle way, but it is necessary to cool them as well as HDD and I manage to keep the temperature of about 35 ° C without a cooler is about 50 ° C which is too much, otherwise it depends on each person what is best for him.

Perfect drive. For an older laptop, it felt like such a refresh that it almost acted like a completely different, a generation better computer. I set up a large swap/pagefile file and with this SSD, the system mostly behaves as if there really is 30 GB of physical RAM needed (although the reality is 8 GB + swap file). 600 TBW is such a huge endurance that even with a lot of swapping you won't "use up" the drive in more than a couple of decades. Western Digital is quality. Further, it's the cheapest drive but it already has integrated DRAM and that's very important with SSDs (whether SATA or NvMe) because it has its own dedicated "cache/cache" memory and doesn't have to use either system RAM (that's slower) or its own NAND cells that are designed to store data (and aren't as fast for that purpose as dedicated DRAM is). With a heavier load, you can tell: SSDs with DRAM will not slow down, SSDs without DRAM will slow down significantly. So don't buy too cheap SSDs, you won't get the exact benefits you're getting the SSD for. Always see if it has its own DRAM or not. And this disc has it!
