[SOLVED] SanDisk Ultra 512gb & Toshiba Satellite

[Vickydcl]

Hi!
I wanted to know if my Toshiba Satellite s855d-s5120 is compatible with a SSD SanDisk Ultra 512gb. I bought this computer in 2013 so its a little bit old.
My second question is, in case if it's compatible, what things should I keep in mind when installing it.

Thank u.

If this laptop currently has a spinning HDD in it, that particular SSD is a drop in replacement.
100% compatible.

You'll need to either clone the current contents, or do a fresh OS install on this new drive.

The ssd comes with an usb, I connected it to my laptop to try it, but the computer does not recognize it at all. Then I tryed to connect it to another computer and it does not recognized it either. I didnt try to clone it yet, I have an app named MiniTool wizard that I will use for the clonation part, but neither the laptop or the app recognize my ssd.

If it can't be seen in multiple systems, it is the wrong cable, or a faulty cable.

As far as a cloning tool, I use Macrium Reflect for this.
