SanDisk SSD Plus 120GB 2.5-Inch SDSSDA-120G-G25 (Old Version)

This drive is ultra skinny, but included a spacer that has adhesive strips to put on the drive. I did for my Dell laptop and it fit well, without it the tie down brackets wouldnt sit right. I cloned the existing drive with Macrium Reflect free, http://www.macrium.com/pages/windows10.aspx , and an external drive cable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011M8YACM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, once that was done in about 20 minutes I just swapped the drives , rebooted and like lightning the SSD took off made the laptop faster then its ever been for a very good price. Hope it lasts.

For a quick replacement to upgrade my grandmothers laptop speeds, it was well worth the price. It is not the fastest on the market, but a reliable SSD nonetheless. I would go with the Extreme Pro models for my own devices, but to simply gain a boot and xfer speed increase over magnetic HDDs, it is a great investment. With todays options, the boot speeds on SSDs are pretty similar unless you get to the real high end ones.. and this does not give a massive benefit if xferring files to/from a magnetic drive (due to the magnetic drives bottleneck), so if you can pick one of these up cheap, it can be another storage drive to be able to take advantage of other SSDs xfer speeds, but I mainly purchase these type of models for simple HDD to SSD upgrade jobs. I would recommend to others as long as the price is right/reasonable.

This was a great purchase for a decent price. This SSD seems to be a tad cheaper than the other ones of a similar capacity, which is great for me since I only have so much money. Anyway, I bought this to replace the old 120 gig hard drive in my 2008 Core 2 Duo (White plastic) MacBook. I wanted a speed boost and Im sure the old drive was beginning to go anyway. I received the SSD on time without any hassles. To install it in my MacBook, I put the SSD into an external USB enclosure, then used the Disk Utility in Mac OS X to clone the hard drive to the SSD. The process for me took about 2 hours, but that may vary depending on how many files and software you have, whether you have USB 2.0 or 3.0, etc etc. After the cloning was complete it was just a matter of taking the battery out of my MacBook and swapping the drives. Everything worked right away, and even though my MacBook only has SATA I speeds, there was a HUGE difference in the speed of the laptop. Programs that used to take forever to open now started almost instantly, and the computer now takes only ~30 seconds to boot up to a usable desktop. And when I shut down the computer, it turns off pretty much right away, as opposed to before when it would take a minute or so to close down everything. 3 months later and the SSD is still kicking, and I think its safe to say this brought some new life into my 8 going on 9 year old laptop. If anyone has an older desktop or laptop and they want to get some more speed out of it, and theyve already upgraded the RAM and whatnot, I definitely recommend this, or any SSD for that matter.

I bought it 1 year and 2 months ago to increment my old Thinkpad X201 notebook, which dates from late 2009/early 2010. I use Linux/GNU/Lubuntu with 8GB or RAM, and the machine just flies and performs better than many machines much younger than that. The SSD was the most beneficial update during all this time (yes, even counting the 4-8GB upgrade), as expected. I dont care about benchmarks, but you can find them, for this model, easily and anywhere. I always like to wait a reasonable time before reviewing fine electronics (or try to update the reviews as time goes by) in order to also evaluate its durability. Im glad to inform that it is still working just as well after more than a year. Therefore, Im satisfied.

I ordered this hard drive to replace a failed 5200 rpm drive in my netbook. My HP DM1Z is about 4 year old and is connected to my TV to assess content like you tube and amazon instant videos that my 6 year old Samsung TV does not support anymore. It was really easy to install with included spacer to accommodate this thinner drive and I was able to put on my windows 7 ISO without any problem. I would say that I do not use this computer as some of the other people, but I am completely satisfied with performance of this drive and would not hesitate to recommend or use in my other systems.

Just 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.

Put this into a refurbished HP desktop computer. Required a SATA cable and a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter kit. Install was a snap; the SSD has 4 little screw holes so it mounts easily into the adapter and the existing motherboard had a free slot available (and a power connection). I was able to install windows 7 onto this drive with no issues and it booted fine. If your new drive doesnt show up automatically, right click on My Computer and click manage. Then select Disk management in the left pane. From here, you should be able to find your new SSD and initialize it. After initializing it, it should show up under My Computer like the rest of your drives. [Note, these instructions are for Windows 7 and if you already have another drive installed]. With regard to the speed, as I understand it this drive isnt the fastest one out there, but it is relatively inexpensive and will still make your computer faster than if you were using just a standard disk drive. For me, startup seemed nearly instantaneous and immediately after the home screen came up, I was able to use the computer without any lag.

Received THE 240GB DEC 1st. The bios saw it and i installed W10 by USB. very stable so far. SANDISK SSD PLUS KICKS fast! :D. I clean installed windows 10 last night. Downloaded google. From power button to password 25 Password to desktop 5 secs. P.s. go-to msconfig and change your boot options from default minimum to max usage. Update your BIOS/UEFI TOO! 2. my Toshiba is a dual-core celeron CPU with sata 3 mobo (crucial.com told me) Thats all you can ask for. update aug 28th. having this SSD is outstanding. longer battery, no noise, less heat.[ the CPU and ram are working harder]. and impact resistant. . my only regret is i should have gotten the 240GB which has double the write speed. So far ...no complaints. Honestly the best thing you can do for your laptop....if you buy a new laptop. take out that HDD and install sandisk ssd+ OCT 1ST...STILL WORKING GREAT. NO PROBLEMS...my Sandisk 120 has been flawless since 9_22_15. Recommended!

Who is going to upgrade to an SSD from a standard HDD and not be completely satisfied with the gains in performance. First SSD Ive had and so far, Im impressed. Coming from a HDD to this is like night and day; albeit, the speeds arent stellar but its leaps and bounds faster at everything than running of a standard HDD. I say this because, you dont necessarily have to get the top advertised speed SSD to experience the performance gains if you too switching from an HDD. The only down side is, while theyre great, theyre still expensive for the capacity in my opinion but with time that is going to come down fast as it already has. I just couldnt wait any longer! :)

Solid SSD upgrade at a competitive price, however this is more of a middle of the road performer in that its definitely an improvement over any harddrive in the way of speed but the difference between this and a Samsung Evo is like night and day. Whats odd is that the write speed, while still greater than a harddrive, is still slower than expected. Still, a very good starting point for those on a budget, but I urge that users make the effort to get an Evo instead
