SanDisk Extreme PRO 240GB SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5-Inch 7mm Height Solid State Drive (SSD)

I was upgrading my 2011 Clevo P170HM 17 Gaming Laptop. It has the SATA connector only. This was the single most obvious and noticeable performance boost hands down! What Im saying is this, I maxed out the processor to an Intel Core i7 2960XM; Upgraded up to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M (the newest this older machine would accept); From 4 GB of RAM up to 32 GB of system RAM, and from Windows 7 up to Windows 10. After upgrading all of this I really couldnt tell any performance increase. Dont get me wrong Im very sure the performance potential did increase (I never did a before and after bench mark). Im just saying that the most noticeable and relatively cost effective upgrade (with out the need of a benchmark) was going from a Hard Drive up to a Solid State Drive! If you have a high end gaming rig or an entry level machine one of the best if not the best upgrade is a good SSD! Start up times went from 3 minutes + to less than 30 seconds,... no lie! Programs open so much faster. The system as a whole feels more responsive and snappier. You cant go wrong with this product. The most amazing thing about it all is the fact that SSD technology had improved to even faster drives than this one but this one is light years ahead of an old spinning Hard Drive. Two thumbs up from me!

This SSD replaces my C:drive and is smoking fast in comparison. Although my motherboard is only a SATA II, I have an add-on card with USB 3.0 and two SATA III connections. I am now spoiled. Adobe Photoshop used to take nearly a minute to load and now loads in 10 seconds. PC Tuneup Utilities works extremely fast now. I look forward to updating all of my PC based on this great product. I highly recommend this SSD.

I originally bought this to see if it would be compatible with SanDisks Ready Cache software. (It isnt.) I have a 5930K based custom computer. Originally, it had a 1TB HDD with a 32 GB internal SSD cache, as well as a 32 GB external SSD Ready Cache. I still only got a 5.9 for the storage User Experience Index. I rebuilt the computer by replacing the HDD with this SSD, and moving the original HDD to the D: drive. The storage user experience index is now 7.9. My wifes laptop has a WD hybrid 120GB SSD plus 1TB HDD drive, and her storage user index is 7.8 When I rebuilt the computer, I started from scratch, and Windows 7 installed the fastest ever. The key was this SSD, and I loaded Windows from my Blu-Ray Writer. I have a lot of gadgets on my screen, and after I log in, they appear almost immediately. Ill be taking an FPGA programming class next year. I had one this past winter, and the software spent a lot of time reading and writing to disk. This will speed up the calculations immensely.

Its added up to a good chunk of cash, but this is the second 960GB SanDisk Extreme PRO I have bought. The first one Ive valued so much, that I took the plunge (while the prices have been VERY low!) for another. The main aspects of this drive that I really value: It should last over the long-haul. Its 960GB instead of 1TB for a reason...and thats partially due to durability. That, along with it being designed to sustain its performance over a much longer period of time, and Im pretty pleased with the long-term usefulness of this. Will faster SSDs become more common over time? Of course. But this unit is already very fast, and thats even for heavy video & image-sequence usage. Ive had some hard drives for years and years, and I think this will be an even more solid investment for a long time to come...with long-term durability in mind.

This would have cost me $699 anywhere else. I got it for a steal. It was simple to clone my old HDD and install this product without any glitches whatsoever. My computer now has all the speed and memory I could wish for. I plan to use this drive for a very long time. For those wondering, this is a 7mm drive with the SATA III connector. It comes with a piece you can attach in case you need it to fit a deeper 9mm slot, which I didnt. I spent the extra $$ to have it shipped overnight (1 day shipping). I got it the next afternoon, as promised, without any damage.

Best thing I could have bought. It made my wifes MacBook Slow into a MacBook Pro (event though I am not a fan of Mac). It used to take her 2 minutes to turn on, 15 or 30 seconds to get to home page from sleep, and 8 minutes (how crazy!!!) to open up LightRoom or PhotoShop. Her computer had that stupid beach ball spinning all the time, and all the programs ran slow (her computer is barely over a year old). I copied her hard drive onto this SSD and we havent had one problem since! Her computer will come all the way on and at home screen in about 15 seconds, when from sleep it is right up by the time it is all the way opened and once you enter password it is right at home screen, no wait. Also you can have a ton of programs open and it doesnt have any delay or lag switching between them. LightRoom and PhotoShop open in a mind-blowing 5 seconds compared to 8 minutes. I didnt know the SSD would do that for her computer but I am slow glad it did and I am forever grateful to SanDisk! Awesome product!

Been using in my primary computer for about 4 months now, works great so far. The real test is to see how long it will last before failing. A previous model lasted about 5 years. Im hoping this one will last 10+ years and if not, I can get it replaced under the amazing 10 year warranty! Only complaint I have is have to register to activate the warranty.

Ive always stuck with SanDisk drives, whether SD cards or SSDs. After buying smaller SSDs to do a duel drive setup, one for the OS and a HDD for the files, only to find that I needed more space for more programs I finally bit the bullet and got one large SSD for everything. Totally worth it. My computer flies. Im not much of a gamer and mainly use my computer for leisure and photography. My computer boots up really quick, mere seconds, and Lightroom and Photoshop run smoothly and quick.

So so good. Has decreased my boot time, maybe 80%. Programs load faster, seem to run better. Miss the constant noise of the hard disk, and at times I still have to check to see if my computer is still running. I am currently playing with ram disk, and I have yet to able to tell if my computer runs faster with or without ram disk. Overall feel like this purchase might have been a good investment. I bought this disk because of the ten year warranty, putting out almost $500.00, for a new toy, the warranty gives me a feeling of security. Right now, I would buy this toy again.

I felt burned by Samsung and their 840 EVO SSD. Latest fix requires machine to be always on to make sure data is moved around -- to prevent read slowdown. And the slowdown isnt from 1 week old stale data -- so I dont know how review websites can rate the fix. In fact, the review sites were wrong the first time Samsung released a fix -- hence Samsung came out with yet another fix. Samsung does not want to support or provide a path to 840 PRO or 850 EVO/PRO line ... even if you are willing to pay the difference. Ive been extremely pleased with this SSD. Consistently fast.
