> 3 dayIT REALLY WORKS WELL!!! I have replaced my old HDD from my ASUS K55VJ and the result is perfect. (Processor Intel® Core™ i7 3610QM, RAM 8GB DDR3) SDD works stable and great. (505MB Read and 213.8MB Write) The major opinion during the choosing this SSD was the READ SPEED and then WRITE SPEED. I have tested this SSD using the Crystal Disk Mark and the results are shown on picture. Fully acceptable for Notebook use. Recommended for all users who wantS to get the SSD with AFFORDABLE PRICE. Thanks SANDISK for this product for this price. (I have purchased this SSD for USD 55.00) ALL THE BEST, Vakhtang

> 3 dayI have a Dell Inspiron 1525, I bought it 7 years ago, 2009. I wanted a new laptop, but I really dont know what to do with my Dell, so I decided to do some research on speeding it up and I read about changing the hard drive to SSD. It worked like a charm! Ive been using this product for a year now and I didnt have any major problems, besides sometimes my laptop cant read the hard drive upon startup, but its an easy fix I just have to restart it. I highly recommend upgrading your old laptops hard drive with this one, its cheaper than the other SSDs which makes it a lot better! So I upgraded my laptop and its now running in Windows 10. Its like I bought a new laptop for just $50!! Hopefully this can last me for 7 more years.

> 3 dayBought this on sale for $65 to speed up my sluggish Toshiba L15W-B1302 laptop. Was going to do a straight clone of the 500gig 5400 rpm HDD, but opted to do a clean install of Windows 10 via the Microsoft Media Creation tool and an 8 gig thumb drive instead. Which now I have a $10 SATA USB connection cable for no reason. (Changed my mind on the cloning mid-shipment). Everything went smooth w/ Installation of Windows 10. Most of the night spent downloading updates, Steam games, 18 gigs of pictures off the cloud, 10 gigs of music and misc from a memory card transfer. The SSD is a beast compared to the original HDD. Boot up went from around 90 seconds to up and ready to use in 20-25 seconds easy. Apps and Software load up in a snap and saving files feels like I have blazing speed internet. EXTREMELY happy with this purchase. Plan on getting an enclosure for the original HDD and using it for a portable backup/storage.

> 3 dayThis went in a laptop from 2010 (by then it was about 7-8 months on the market), and makes a WORLD of difference in speed and bootup time. I upgraded it to Windows 10 and the stock 250GB hard drive was on the slow and unresponsive side. I used a cloning software and in 40min, cloned the drive to the SSD and swapped it inside. I opted for the 120GB capacity because I dont use this laptop as my main machine and didnt need a ton of space. Now my laptop boots in less than 20 seconds!

Greater than one weekI upgraded my laptopss 5200 rpm hard drive with this to increase performance mainly in response time of applications. This SSD has made my laptop so much more easier to use (it worked perfectly fine before, but waiting 15 seconds or longer for applications to open really infuriated me). Not only did the SSD increase overall performance, but I have noticed the battery life has extended by about an additional hour. Also, a free download link to cloning software is included, but I would recommend a clean install to maximize available storage on the drive as well as performance. PROS -Decrease in boot up and shutdown times. -Decrease in application start times. -Increase in battery life (may vary depending on workload). -Easy to install -Comes with a link to download cloning software (you need a USB to SATA cable) -3 year warranty CONS -Made of a lightweight plastic material (Not really a con since it will hopefully be inside your PC) If you are waiting for SSDs to get cheaper and are on the fence about getting this SSD, just take the plunge. You will be glad you finally did.

> 3 dayWorks perfectly with my 15 early 2011 MacBook Pro. I was very close to replacing my laptop since it had slowed to a crawl even with just a couple Chrome tabs open, but I decided to give this a chance and Im ecstatic I did. It feels brand new again, even with just 4 Gb ram still. A few details about the installation: - If buying for the same model as me, youll need a small screwdriver to remove the 10 small screws from the bottom of the laptop. Take note of the position the three longer screws are in - Youll also need a size 8 torx screwdriver to remove the little rods from the current HDD to put in your new SSD to hold it in place - Remove the 4 black screws on the rails surrounding the HDD to remove it. Notice in the pic I removed the 6 torx screws on top of the HDD. That was a mistake, dont do that. After putting it all back together and firing it up, I pressed command+R to launch Internet Recovery. When I reached the part where it asked me to select a destination drive for the installation, the drive didnt show up in the list (nothing did). I went back to the Recovery screen and chose the Disk Utility option. The drive did show up here, so I knew it was recognized. I clicked it, then clicked the Partition tab, and created a 2-part partition, one of the parts 239 Gb or so which I named SSD Boot, and the other part just 1 Gb named Recovery. After creating the partition I returned to the installation setup and now I was able to select SSD Boot as the destination drive for installation. The Internet Recovery wanted to install Lion (OS X 10.7?), however, it kept telling me that it was currently unavailable. So instead I did a recovery from Timemachine on another drive on my local network. You may need to do this beforehand if you dont have a bootable drive to install from.

> 3 dayJust upgraded my laptop from a 7200rpm HDD to this SSD! Now Im enjoying quicker boot time, quicker app launch & even quicker refresh in desktop :P. Well, this is my 3rd SSD & 1st from SanDisk. Installation was straight forward on my HP Envy M6-k010dx sleekbook (an AMD A10 machine). One noticeable absence is the lack of cloning software in the box. But, I learnt a very important lesson about cloning software by installing other SSDs. I find myself comfortable using Macrium Reflect for cloning, which free, very very easy to use & very fast. All you have to do is connect the new SSD with the computer with a SATA cable, run the software & about 10 clicks :P. BTW, read speed of this drive is very impressive. I got 548.9 MB/s sequential read & 376 MB/s sequential write. Its a GREAT drive, highly recommended! EDIT: Alternative free cloning software: AOMEI DISK Backupper. In order to do clonning, youll have to share their software on any social media (facebook, google+ or twitter) & copy/paste the link of your post. Yeah, annoying, but hey, its free! And its a very clean looking & user friendly software. Thanks.

> 3 dayI bought this SSD to breath new life into my 7 year old laptop and what a huge difference! It actually makes the laptop useful again! I used a third party software to clone the HD in the laptop, and once that was complete, swapped out the old HD for this SSD and the laptop fired right up! You can feel the difference right away! Everything is more snappy, not just the power up and power down! Just opening programs and surfing the web is snappy now! I decided on this 120GB SSD since this laptop is used really for surfing only and not storing a ton of data. I dont know the long range life of this SSD however so far so good! I highly recommend this SSD! I know folks are concerned with read/write speeds for an SSD, I am just a normal user and all I care about is the new user experience I have with this SSD! For the $$, you really should move to an SSD for your laptop!

> 3 dayFirst time using Sandisk SSD, Unfortunately Sandisk SSD dashboard is not compatible to Win XP OS. So I removed my Samsung 840 Evo SSD from my Lenovo S10-3 Win 7 and tried installing the Sandisk SSD Dashboard there but the display resolution is not compatible as it requires minimum 1024X768 while the Lenovo S10-3 is 1024X600. Very surprised though as the Samsung Magician software still runs on the Lenovo S10-3. Anyway, currently I used EaseUS Todo Back-up free to clone my Win XP machine to the Sandisk SSD and tune the machine to be SSD optimize. I downloaded Sandisk SSD toolkit on my XP machine but it did not recognize the Sandisk SSD PLUS installed. Oh well, I probably switch over one of my Samsung 850 EVO SSD from my MSI Win 7 machine to the XP machine and use the Sandisk SSD PLUS on it. At least if Sandisk has home built cloning software such as Samsung Migrate and Samsung Magician on CD (rather that downloading it), this will ease the user installation experience

> 3 dayTo be fair, this drive lasted 5 years. Not particularly aweful for HDs, but not particularly great either. For SSDs its fair I suppose. The problem is that when it fails, theres no warning signs in advance. Just one day, POOF, its completely and utterly DEAD. Cant be resurrected. Cant be recognized... laptop says Theres no hard drive installed. I have removed the drive, and using my Sabrent, have found the drive is completely gone. It cannot be recognized in my diagnostic system I use for testing & recovery. Drive Management reports nothing plugged in at all! (*Other drives are recognized*). This feels like the 90s, when I had to back up everything onto CDs (before DVDs were even a thing), and if I didnt back something up, it would inevitably be lost!
