Drop-in replacement in a Garmin Drive 50, with twice the capacity
My Garmin 50 came with a 570mAh battery that died after 6 years. I typed "570" into the search, but got no hits. "Garmin Drive 50" and this comes up with an 1100mAh capacity. Ahhh .... New battery chemistry or something like that yields twice the capacity.
The item description says that this is a drop-in replacement and it is. Replaced the old battery with this one, and the unit starts right up. So, compatibility is verified.
I have not had this long enough to quantify how well it performs. Today, it meets all of my casual needs just fine.
Although I did not study it too thoroughly, it appears to be well made, so excellent build quality.
This item costs less than 1/10 of what a new GPS does, so a big return on investment. Great value for the money.
I recommend this to anyone who needs to replace the battery of their Garmin Drive 50.

$200 (in 2021) Upgrade for old computers
Replaced a 480GB rotating hard-disk drive (HDD) with this. The result is that my 2013-vintage single-core laptop runs much faster, and I do not have to deal with drive-capacity problems for now. Two goals: more space and less of a delay when opening files, and both of them are met.
I used Clonezilla to transfer disk images. The old HDD surprisingly had several failed sectors, so I had to do several very complex steps manually. Not something for amateurs, but the reward was worth it. I just mention this because it was unexpected.
Also, there have been changes to the interface standards. This is the SATA-3 for the previous generation.
As far as the product quality: It is solid-state memory from Crucial. Not really much I can add to this. (This was the only brand that I considered.)
I recommend this kind of upgrade and particular vendor, because I believe that $200 got me a lot of computer. Money well spent!
