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

I purchased this SSD to replace the HDD that came with my laptop. Using the free utilities to transfer all of the data from the computer was really quite easy and only took about 30 minutes (youll need to buy a USB 3.0 SATA III hard drive adaptor cable if you dont already have one). Once the data was transferred I was able to install the drive and it booted right up. Performance for my laptop has improved dramatically. After running benchmark tests between the HDD and SSD, the SSD read and write speeds are over 6 times faster than the HDD. The machine itself runs noticeably faster, quieter, cooler, and the battery life is much longer as well.

Would have given 5 stars IF there was decent support on website or included with SSD. Tried to install (clone) on Win10 laptop using the Sandisk Installation kit. It doesnt work so save your money!! I ended up downloading a trial/demo copy of Paragon Backup and Recovery 15. It worked perfectly. It worked so well I purchased a copy from them. Once installed the Sandisk Extreme Pro works EXTREMELY well. Good product BUT lacking documentation and installation support.

Installed in my 10 year old HP (g72) laptop along with an upgraded CPU & 8gb RAM. It installed easily, cloned easily and has been working flawlessly for over 6 months. While my laptop has only a Sata II connection and cant use this SSDs full speed capabilities, it is still rocket fast & has brought this old girl up to speed with new computers! It comes with software to monitor and analyze it. A nice touch vs the Samsungs Ive used in other family laptops. This worked even with sata 1 speed connections and made s dramatic improvement in speed. In my HP Laptop this cut the start up time from almost 2 minutes down to under 30 seconds. After the ram & CPU upgrade Im at 20 seconds for start up time! SSDs are one of the easiest upgrade you can make & definitely the one upgrade which will give you the biggest speed bump! I would honestly recommend this even over Increased RAM because the impact is so dramatic on increasing the computers speed!

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!

I cant say whether this is the hard drives problem or not but my computer repair had to purchase another SSD drive to get my computer to boot. This drive is now a secondary drive but I dont know why it originally got corrupted and my computer wouldnt boot. Sandisk has always run well for me and this is the first issue I have had.

I bought this drive to replace the 5400 rpm drive that came with my laptop which was now slowing down to about a whole minute to allow me to start using the computer at start up. At the time it was a bit more expensive but I believed in the brand, quality, and its reviews. It has vastly sped up my system and it still is ready to use in under about 20 seconds from restart. I might look into getting another Sandisk drive with larger storage since my computer has taken on about 100 gigs of homework software projects and games over the past few semesters.

Absolutely amazing, took my mid 2011 iMac running Mavericks from a boot time of over a minute to under 10 seconds with absolutely no lag. I cannot recommend it enough - the pro class is definitely the way to go with an SSD and the 10 year warranty is just the icing on the cake. It makes my old iMac feel like a totally different and new machine. With it more than 1/2 full (190 GB FREE), it still is clocking in at 380-410 MB/s read and write - definitely work the money.

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.

Let me start by saying i run this drive as the boot and holds most of my music that i listen to. It still shows 100% life remaining on the SanDisk dashboard. no problems with startups or shutdowns. i keep a battery backup on so no power drops. I bought this drive in 2015 and payed $350 new with 10 year warranty. here are the spec on my use from the dashboard. Power on hours : 23783 Power cycle count : 514 Program fail count : 0 Unexpected power loss count : 77 Temp : 82 F / 28 C Media Wearout Indicator : 0.71% ********* AMAZING ******** Available reserve space : 100 % Total GB Write : 8420 Total GB Read : 17438 Total GB NAND Write : 21876 Temp throttle status : on I keep the drive at about 50% full. If I go over 60% i usually swap some music to my Ultra II drive. Never a problem from that drive. In this day and age it nice t find a reliable and affordable drive.

I have had this model of SanDisk SSD (first one returned to SanDisk about a year ago) for just over 2 years. The SanDisk drive is installed in an HP Mini 2102 laptop, that was initially running dual-boot, Ubuntu 1604 and Windows 7 Starter - 64bit. In August 2016, I took advantage of a free ugrade to Windows 10 Home (later I observed this was the 32 bit version of Windows 10 and suspect the switch in bits was related to the Atom processor in the laptop). What a mistake I made. The first problem I observed was screen updates were sluggish and large pauses would occur. I suspected a video driver issue and proceeded to update drivers using a third-party software solution. No changes. Next thing I knew Windows 10 wanted to update to 1607. The upgrade process required a lot of boots and many of them would hang with the disk activity light solid. Contacted SanDisk and they decided to send me a new drive. After restoring from a backup, I was able to get the update to 1607 to complete with only a couple disk hangs while booting up only. I was now observing the disk activity light a lot more. When screen updates would hang, I now noticed the disk activity light being solid and would recover , 20 seconds being the longest. I started using hibernate a lot more to avoid the solid hangs. Also, I observed that when Ubuntu got sluggish, the disk light would go solid, but would recover in less than 5 seconds. Now Windows 10 update 1703 becomes available around April 2017. For some reason, I decided to move the SanDisk SSD to another laptop - HP HDX 16. The update to Win 10 1703 went without a single hang in the HP HDX 16. My conclusion is the SATA/??? controller on the HP Mini 2102 has problems or the driver-controller has issues. The Windows 10 Home driver being much worse than Ubuntu 16.04 driver or the Windows 7 Starter. Going to contact SanDisk again to see if any updates from a year ago and share my experience. Should contact Microsoft about the 32 to 64 bit switch-aroo since the drive may be going into a computer with a lot more memory than the 2.97GB restriction for 32 bit. Or, visualize it on Ubuntu 17.04 64 bit.
