## Questions & Answers

**Q: This product comes with software to clone the disk, because I need to clone the disk of my laptop?**
A: You can download the Acronis True Image WD Edition Software for free from Western Digital's site.  It does an excellent job of cloning hard drives to a new Western Digital disk.  I've used it myself several times.

**Q: Can the wd m.2 ssd be used as a boot drive for windows?**
A: Absolutely.  I just installed it.  Used Macrium Reflect to copy my entire OS Drive (c:) onto the SSD.  Then you go into the BIOS and tell it to boot to the M.2 SSD.   It boots faster.  The M.2 SSD is then called "C:"  Then I turned my spinning hard Drive into just data storage.

**Q: Is this compatible with an i5 6500?**
A: The processor isn't a factor.  You will want to look at what type of SATA connections your system has on the motherboard.  Even if they don't match, the drive will down-step to the controllers speed (sata2 controller with a sata3 drive).  In the future, the controller would down-step to the drives speed (sata3 drive and a sata4 controller). Assuming the physical connections remain the same.

**Q: Does it come with a sata cable?**
A: No
