Works very well here for me. I have one of the first-gen batches as well. While yes, its not as fast as a SSD drive. Reading and booting from it is a lot faster on my old laptop. That is why I can recommend it. Also, if the OP is like me where my laptop is my main machine, storage space is paramount. A 500 GB SSD would be very expensive.
I actually need more then 500 GB of space... D:
