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

I picked this SSD to upgrade my 2 year old Dell Latitude E5540. Once I had my original drive cloned to this one and installed, the machine was smokin fast. I went from almost 90 second boot time to less than 30 second boot time. I also noticed a vast difference in temperature of the laptop. Before the fans would run almost all the time. Now they hardly ever run. Very good drive for the money.

Pros: Fast out-of-the-box, reliable, warrantied, decent amount of space Cons: Slows under real conditions, no cable included I ordered this on January 8, 2016 from Amazon.com LLC after my previous SSD, a

Put this in an older HP laptop and seems to be working well. This is the first SSD Ive used, so I cant comment on comparing it to other models or brands. Did a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro so cant really tell you how easy it would be for replacing/cloning your old OS. I CAN tell you the Windows Experience Score for the hard drive went from 4.5 to 7.6 after installing the drive, so it did increase performance. Just wish my laptop supported SATA 6 then this drive would probably run at full potential.

I purchased the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD 2-3 years ago, not a single hiccup. I purchased my 2nd in November 2015. I even purchased an Extreme Pro USB! This drive is GOOD. My computer starts up fast and with a 10 year warranty this company has your BACK. As a computer tech, I see everything from dead HDDs (hard drives) to HDD overload. When a customer wants fast and sustaining, I give recommend this drive. I had a terrible experience with the Samsung 850 EVO so for anyone trying to pick from the two, this one is the easiest and most reliable. The speed isnt even a question. My computers start in under 7 seconds, with an update 15 seconds. Thank you SanDisk, I sell your products, I buy ONLY your products. For anyone serious about speeding up their computer and looking for a reliable solution. A bang for your buck, THIS is it.

Good replacement for my EVO 850. My EVO 850 was a very fast unit except for one particular application: writing email in my gmail account online. Each time I would type, I had to wait seconds to see my text appear on the screen. I found nothing on the Internet that explain such phenomena. Everything else was blasting fast with my EVO. Following a friend idea, I ordered this unit, cloned the content off my EVO 850 onto it and gave it a try. With my naked eye this unit is very fast. There is plenty of benchmarking data for that available out there to tell you if it is faster than the EVO 850 or not. What was important for me was to be able to use my online gmail account like I was used to. And it did. Im very happy with that swap. As for my EVO 850, I got it re-purposed in another rig where Id enjoy its fast speed.

Fast and reliable SSD with a 10-year warranty. Better than Samsung SSD in software as Samsung cloning does not support non-Samsung recovery partitions. So if you want to clone your disk to ssd and keep say a Sony revovery partition, the Sandisk comes with Acronis WD edition that supports cloning/resizing all partitions from source to destination drive. One note, that since it is a WD edition of Acronis, it will not install if it doeasnt detect Sandisk/WD drive. So make sure your external USB to SATA does not hide the name of the drive(like in Device manager) otherwise Acronis will not install. I had bought a Dugol enclosure that did that and it did not work with acronis. I had to use my old Rosewill enclosure to get it to work. After cloning my original disk to it, I installed the Sandisk Extreme pro in my Sony laptop and it worked flawlessly and it is very fast!

Works as advertised and was easy to install. Used the clone program referenced by another purchaser - Macrium. Very fast at sata3 and still fast at sata2 (180 MBs on old pc). Programs and files load almost instantly and should make the old desktop pc useable for the next couple of years. The old 500gb drive is used for DATA and the new C-Drive is used for the operating system and programs. I did not want to remove the DVD drive so I just put it in the same mount. It fit perfectly between the DVD drive and the cage around it.

I bought this to upgrade my desktops drive from an HDD to an SSD to take advantage of the speed increase. Let me just say, it makes a world of difference. Programs launch much quicker and the computer starts up and resumes from sleep much quicker. My only note is that if you are planning on putting this in a desktop, buy a 2.5 to 3.5 drive adapter so that you can mount it in your case, as desktop HDDs are 3.5 inches and SSDs (including this one) are 2.5 and they will most likely not fit in your case. But this drive itself is AWESOME! The included SanDisk drive utility is also really useful for figuring out specifics about your drive including the life left in it.

Replaced old spinning drive in laptop, and now it runs like new and better!! Its been over a year with this SSD, and the laptop so continues to purr along with lickety quick response. Was very easy to replace.

Holy cow this is a game changer. Not only was it quick and easy to install (and Im no technical magician either) but the results far exceed my expectations. Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W laptop with dual-core i7 Intel processor and 8 GB of RAM now boots up in under a minute and apps launch instantly. My laptop (1 year old at the time of this writing) is good but is known for its slow mechanical hard drive. I am still in disbelief. No issues with the cloning process. I closed the case, screwed on the cover, booted up the machine and the speed boost was instant with zero glitches.
