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

There is not a lot new here that I am going to be able to share, that many others have already shared in these reviews. This SanDisk Extreme Pro is currently the Performance favorite at the Toms Hardware website, and the reviews tell the deeper story. I have the 480 GB version of this drive, and I purchased it to use as my Operating System drive in a new Intel based Z97 Computer, and did not want to go with a PCIe X 4 M.2 Drive quite yet. Having already used the Samsung and Crucial SSD SATA drives in the recent past, I decided to read up and see if there was anything else new to research, and I came upon the reviews for this drive. Yes, the Samsung is a great SSD, and is faster in short data bursts, but if you are doing any heavy duty data transfer or processing, this is the SSD to go with. The SanDisk Extreme Pro will tear through large random data transfers and maintain high speed and not get bogged down. Using this SSD to load Windows 7 Pro for the first time was incredible due to a very short load and set up time. This SSD is a real powerhouse, and the 10 year warranty is pretty nice too. Very glad I purchased this, but I will be looking for a PCIe X 4 M.2 SSD to make things even faster. I want to see SanDisks entry into that Market, which I believe will explode soon.

Being my first SSD I have no complaints. Boot time for my windows 10 5 year old computer is about 50-52 seconds.Amazing difference in computer speed when you add an SSD. By adding an SSD you also lose the spinning sound of a traditional HDD which makes your computer much quieter. Adding an SSD to an older computer can be challenging and I had to do some research but it was worth every penny. Dont forget to download Sandisk SSD dashboard from their website after installing as it is a useful utility.

This is STUPID FAST!!! Had to get it for my new Dell Laptop. The new Inspiron 7000 series with the new 4K screen is very slim and sleek. Highly recommended if you are in the market for a new laptop. Only downside is the SSD drive I had in my old laptop is too thick. So kind of a bummer had to buy another SSD. Decided to go up to the 480KB from teh 256 Curcial Technology drive that I had. Great drive too, but this is a few notches above it. Windows 8 loads in 5 seconds flat on this thing. Absolutely nuts! The reviews seem to indicate this should be a solid performer and have great reliability. Time will tell on that end, but I can assure that the speed is there! Is it worth the extra $50 or so to upgrade form the Crucial? That I leave up to you, for me I would rather spend the extra money and know I am getting the best. But I have two Crucials and they have both performed admirably, just decided to try SanDisk this time based on the online review magazines. Highly recommended.

I used this in an IBM Thinkpad T530. Works very well. For me, I took out the dvd tray, slapped in a hard drive caddy with this ssd, then used MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 9.1. In their software its an easy migrate to new HD/SSD button, hit apply, it reboots, and copies everything to the new drive. Then I replaced the hard drive with this ssd, put my dvd rom back in, and rebooted. With a desktop, just connect this to an empty SATA slot with the power cord, and run the same software. Windows 10 came back up without any issues. Easy and painless. Loving the additional speed and size. 10 year warranty gives me peace of mind.

Extremely fast SSD. I wanted to use it as the sole drive in an older PC (with an ASUS model P7P55D PRO motherboard), but was reluctant to connect the drive via the relatively slow SATA II interface on this motherboard. Instead, I mounted the drive on an OWC Accelsior S (PCI to SATA Drive Mount card; see product link:

I have a recording studio and a recent Mac Pro Cylinder computer. I needed a fast external drive for making music with my DAW software (Logic X). I tried a few different USB3 SSD and hard disk connections until I came to this drive. I use these in my Atomos Ninja 2 video recorder and that is how I got on to using them for my DAW. This disk mounted on an Atomos USB3 drive sled reads and writes at over 360 MB/s as measured with Black Magic Design disk speed test. This was the fastest drive Ive tested. By contrast my OWC USB3 SSD only writes at 150MB/s and reads at 205MB/s by the same measure. My Seagate 7200 3-TB hard disk drive which is Enterprise class reads and writes at 180MB/s so this SSD is really a big step up in speed. Its working great as my DAW SSD now, fast, quiet, cool running and Amazon makes it affordable and easy to get. Good music and good computing to all!

I built my gaming pc using the extreme pro 480gb as my main internal drive. Build: Gigabyte z170x gaming 7, i7 6700 cpu, geforce 980 gpu, corsair vengeance 16gb pair of ram, windows 10, azza 1000 r tower, cooler master geminII cpu fan,ect. The sandisk extreme pro works fantastic in this system. Everything I do is very quick and after hours of use the temps are low and fans never kick up to high speed. The boot up time is nearly instant.

This thing is great - and Im a Samsung bigot/fan. I wish it was 1TB instead of the odd 960GB. This means transfers can be cumbersome and take more steps than a direct disk copy. Thats my biggest beef. The system I put this in boots super quick, the drive is of course silent. Its almost as fast as my other Samsung Evo Pro SSDs!

The SanDisk extreme pro was a great upgrade to my laptop. It has speed up boot times to less then 15 sec before that it took over 60 seconds or more to boot. Installing programs is lot faster than before. Going form 100mb to over 500mb read and writes speed up the computer a lot. Updating computer is a lot faster. Programs run a lot faster with a SSD. The drive is lot less fragile then a HDD. You do not have to worry as much if you accidently drop your computer about it breaking because it has no moving parts to break. This SSD is good for computer because it is durable for a laptop Because a laptop gets thrown around a lot . Over all the product works well in a laptop or tower because of how it not made of moving parts to break if you drop it. I have drop my lap top a few times and the drive still works. The program that you download to monitor it is good. It gives you a lot of info on your SSD. The product is good. Very high quality. Order came soon after ordering on this site. Have had good luck with product.

This is a great SSD! The speed boost that you get when you change from a HDD to SSD is unbelievably fast and different.I purchased this SSD about 2 years ago and it is still going strong! One of the best upgrades that I have done to my laptop. I used to hate turning my laptop off, because of how long it would take it to boot back up. With this SSD the computer boots and shuts off in less than 10-15 secs compared to over a minute and a half for the HDD. This SSD comes with a long 10 years warranty, which is a plus! If you are thinking about upgrading to an ssd, DO IT! It will be one of the best performance boosts that you can do.
