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

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.

Been using in my primary computer for about 4 months now, works great so far. The real test is to see how long it will last before failing. A previous model lasted about 5 years. Im hoping this one will last 10+ years and if not, I can get it replaced under the amazing 10 year warranty! Only complaint I have is have to register to activate the warranty.

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.

I chose this drive after reading Toms Hardware reviews for best performance for value SSDs. So far so good. I use it in a desktop setup, and Windows 8.1 boots so fast you barely have time to see the loading screen. Plus there is so much space on the drive that I dont have to be picky about what programs I install. I still have a 1TB HDD for long-term data storage, but its getting closer to the point where I might forgo HDD altogether if SDD storage keeps getting larger and more affordable.

i7 Quad Core/ 16GB/ MacBook Pro early 2011. Has worked flawlessly. Apps like Mail and iPhoto that took 30/50 secs respectively to load (I have lots of mail and photos), now launch in 3/5 seconds. Used USB Sata cable and Carbon Copy Cloner to copy system to drive, swapped drives and everything worked, all licenses transferred (except Google Drive needed to be rebuilt). Speed tests (Blackmagic) Show average 515 MB/sec read and 435 MB/sec write. No degradation in speed from first test (a few weeks ago) till now. I think Apple tests their OS with flash drives, so as they increase the Input/Output read write counts when adding features/security protections, they dont notice the issues caused in systems with using hard disks. If you have Yosemite, you need a drive like this. Unfortunately, because apple doesnt support Trim for macs w/3rd party SSDs, you should also plan to replace your drive every year. I do upgrade my drive each year, as I need lots of speed and space. The last three were hybrid SSD/HDD (512MB Seagate/1TB Seagate/1TB Toshiba). The hybrids were slightly faster than a 7200 RPM disk initially, but after a year, each was slower than a stock clean 5400 RPM.

This SSD replaces my C:drive and is smoking fast in comparison. Although my motherboard is only a SATA II, I have an add-on card with USB 3.0 and two SATA III connections. I am now spoiled. Adobe Photoshop used to take nearly a minute to load and now loads in 10 seconds. PC Tuneup Utilities works extremely fast now. I look forward to updating all of my PC based on this great product. I highly recommend this SSD.

To review the SSD itself, Ive had zero issues, its small, easy to mount, easy to install. To review the impact of having an SSD, It shortened my 2 minute boot times to around 3 seconds, I load into games insanely quick, and the SSD runs dead silent, unlike my previous HDD that was begging me for death.

I had been contemplating replacing my 6 year old HP desktop. I use this machine primarily for photo editing. I bought it with a AMD Quad Core processor and over the years I had upgraded the RAM from 8GB to 12GB. But with all of the large, resource intensive programs I had on the machine, my start up time had deteriorated to about 4 mins with an additional 15-20 mins where it was unusable due to McAfee running its initial scans. Then I heard on a photography podcast about upgrading my boot drive to an SSD. After doing plenty of research I decided that rather than drop $1200-1500 on a new tower, Id give the SSD a shot for less than a third of that price. Worse comes to worse, I could always use the SSD in another device if I still needed to replace my machine. So I ordered the SanDisk Extreme Pro 960GB drive since I needed the space. I used Macrium Reflect to clone my boot drive over to the SSD. This did take about 12 hours since I was using an adapter cable and USB 2.0 connection. But once it was done, the installation was fairly simple. Bottom line, wow!!! What a difference. My boot time went from 4 mins to 40 secs and the unit was usable within a couple of mins after that. Now my Lightroom and Photoshop applications start up in less than a minute where it was taking several minutes each previously. Im thrilled with the results and would recommend this change highly to anyone having similar issues with their computer. I cant say how much better or worse this drive is compared to any other ones, but I can say it has done wonders for my desktop machine and I feel like I can squeeze another few years out of my HP.

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.

This is the best SSD drive I have ever seen. I really did my research before I decided to get one. My old SSD drive was only 150 gigs and not nearly as fast as this one. I kept getting messages saying that I was running out of space. I wanted to get the best SSD drive out there and this one was ranked as one of the fastest and I also loved the size of the SSD drive. It was so incredibly easy to install. First I got a cable so I could plug the SSD drive into my USB port and then I formatted the drive. I then cloned my drive C and just swapped the drives. The old Drive Im going to hold on to and use it as a back up just incase anything should happen. I dont think anything will happen they give a 10 year warranty and they wouldnt give a warranty like that if it wasnt any good.
