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

Very good performance. I am pleased with this SSD. I believe it is faster in read and write times than my plextor M.2SSD drive that it replaced on my Asus X99-Deluxe, due to running out of space. I have not bench-marked it yet so i cannot verify its true speeds. I chose not to use the free software offer included with the SSD to clone my plextor SSD hard drive to this new one. I am very, very happy so far. I would buy again.

Samsung Pro has double the endurance specification (marketing?) and half the warranty for their Pro TLC drives. Most enterprise drives use MLC memory so I came to the conclusion that it is better. I pick this up on Amazon Warehouse deals. Had one terabyte written in its previous life. Dash board shows the wear out to be 0.26%. Still has the 10 year warranty when I went to register the drive. Well worth it for an additional fifty dollar savings at the time.

SanDisk Extreme PRO SSD 480GB My ssd from sanddisk ran flawlessly for 6 months. Then it died. I called sandisk support and the RMA was set up right away. Very happy with this response. Shipped it out the next day and sandisk responded they received it the day after. Here is where my issues started. I am not sure how they won Gartners 2014 award for customer support. Waited five days and saw no response from sandisk. Did a chat session. They said to give it a few more days. Called back three days later with no update to my RMA. Was informed as I have read in some other reviews that they were out of stock. I asked iwhy they did not tell me that at the RMA time or when I called back. They said they would send an email or contact to corporate to expedite the issue. Give them 24 - 48 hours. Called the following Monday and had a hard time understanding the support person who took my call. She checked and hey said that they would follwo up. No response... Called again today on Wednesday. Well they were still waiting for corporate to respond. Asked to talk to the supervisor. Supervisor called me back. Said he would respond back with an email in 2 - 3 hours. No response. They dont realize even though I tried to have then recognize that I need my replacement ssd. This is not how you treat customers. The ssd was fast and efficient till they day it died. Bought their ssd to not have any more failures on the boot drive. I dont understand how they cannot get drives to replace RMA/dead drives. Not sure why they cannot escalate this. I bought a Samsung SSD that this one competes with for my daughter. The samsung is running fine with no problems.

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.

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.

This (240GB) has been absolutely flawless in an HP 8200 elite (Q67 chipset) running Windows 7 x64. Performance is in line with what was advertised, and what other sites benchmarked - and it hasnt slowed down in the few months Ive had it (unlike the 840/840 Evos). Windows gets partway through the flag animation, then goes right over to the login screen. Nice! Update: The desktop is still working perfectly, 8 or 9 months later, hasnt noticeably slowed down or anything. No stability issues. I just bought a 480GB one for my zbook 14g1. That one, too, is working like a charm thus far. If I need any more SSDs, theyll be Extreme Pros or Ultra IIs from now on. Update: Ive since tried one of the drives in a Zbook 14 g2, and a Lenovo t440s. Works like a charm in everything, and unlike other drives, these dont falter under load. Throw a 200GB transfer at these and Windows (resmon) shows 25% usage while maxing out a gigabit link. (Unlike other drives, that advertise similarly high speeds but suffer if you give them a huge file transfer and dont give them time to TRIM afterwards.) Ill definitely buy another one of these should I need it.

Seems to work great, plugged it into my Mac Pro with this adapter:

This is an amazing product. My wife had a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro that I was considering replacing. While the laptop worked well, we just noticed things were taking longer and longer. She could not have as many programs open as she could in the past, etc. In hindsight, programs have become more memory intensive, more photos from mobile devices, higher resolutions, faster internet, etc. I read a few reviews and decided to replace her 5200rpm hard drive with solid state. OMG!!!! AMAZING!!! Her laptop is as fast as the new stuff in the stores. What a great, great investment this turned out to be. I ordered the extra cable to help with the cloning process. The software for cloning was already on my mac but the cable was helpful. After the clone, a few minutes to install, POW! As a matter of fact, I was so happy, I ordered a second one for my office PC which is not a laptop. Boot time went from 85 seconds to less than 10 seconds. Everything is snappy fast. No brainer here!

Worked Great! Upgraded my HP Elite 8300, used the free MiniTool Partition Wizard available here on Amazon, first connected the SSD on the system so the W7 OS would recognize the drive and install the driver it needed, then just used the MiniTool Partition Wizard to copy the contents of my regular Boot drive to the SSD, then unplugged the old physical drive and booted to the SSD, no problems. My PC now boots faster and I don’t constantly hear the hard drive seek/write all the time, performance index on the drive went from 5.7 to 7.9 (8=Max) :0)

TIP for those using this as their primary hard drive: turn off unnecessary WINDOW SERVICES that read and write to an SSD. Reading and writing to this SSD, reduces lifespan. I will try later to update this sharing with you what services I have turned off that are unnecessary and believe me, a LOT of MS services ARE unnecessary, like ANY of the Remote services IF YOU DO NOT LOGIN TO YOUR HOME PC FROM ELSEWHERE. If you dont, turn these off as they are a security risk to begin with. I will be back later to give you all a list. OH, and be sure the TRIM feature is on by installing the SanDisk tool. Go to their site to download it. It will sit in your task bar and let you know temperature, read/write status, capacity, etc. TRIM is auto set when you install this drive, but default. Also, an SSD are CHIPS, not platters. TURN OFF: ANY disk defragger (SSDs do not require defragging) ANY read/write utilities (NOT apps like MS Office that you install) Windows INDEXING and SEARCH (turn BOTH off!) IF YOU HAVE A HDD SLAVE DRIVE like a Western Digital SATA drive (not another SSD): Move your PAGEFILE to the slave drive root for reading and writing. To save time, go to these sites and follow their instructions which fit your situation: (...)
