> 3 dayFast 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!

> 3 dayAn amazing drive!, it gave new life to my good ol Macbook Pro Late 2011 w/8gb ram. Ive been using only for about 24 hours but here is the review: the drive is so fast that the computer feels faster than when it was new, I can even preview my 4K videos recorded from my phone and also fixed the photos app crash while trying to import a bunch of said videos. (it seems the old original drive was on borrowed time) The only downside of this drive, and the reason of the 4 stars instead of 5, is that the software to update the firmware is windows only, thus, not possible to use it on a mac (or linux for that matter).

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayTo get the best performance to 530MB/s seq read, youll need to install in main slot of your machine, with high speed SATA3 6.0Gb/s port Otherwise the transmission speed will be limited by SATA2 of your optical disc drive slot. Anyway good SSD in medium level with SanDisks own 64Gbit 19nm MLC cell, old Marvell 9187 but more stable, and cheaper than 850 pro. if you have more money you can choose Intel 730, or PCIe for desktop. Ill give a s*** to sumsungs so-called 3D V-nand, you know reason. Avg. random write 65-95MB/s, enough for Win10

> 3 dayI felt burned by Samsung and their 840 EVO SSD. Latest fix requires machine to be always on to make sure data is moved around -- to prevent read slowdown. And the slowdown isnt from 1 week old stale data -- so I dont know how review websites can rate the fix. In fact, the review sites were wrong the first time Samsung released a fix -- hence Samsung came out with yet another fix. Samsung does not want to support or provide a path to 840 PRO or 850 EVO/PRO line ... even if you are willing to pay the difference. Ive been extremely pleased with this SSD. Consistently fast.

> 3 dayI had to add a third solid state since I had filled up the 500gb model I had with games and my main drive is only for windows. Its fast with a small footprint compared to the standard hard drives I used to use which is true of almost all solid states. Having a third drive did slow my boot time slightly but only enough to barely notice, compared to other computers it is a fast boot up. Its a good solid state drive and am happy with my purchase.

> 3 dayWorked Great! Upgraded my HP Elite 8300, used the free MiniTool Partition Wizard available here on Amazon, first connected the SSD on the system so the W7 OS would recognize the drive and install the driver it needed, then just used the MiniTool Partition Wizard to copy the contents of my regular Boot drive to the SSD, then unplugged the old physical drive and booted to the SSD, no problems. My PC now boots faster and I don’t constantly hear the hard drive seek/write all the time, performance index on the drive went from 5.7 to 7.9 (8=Max) :0)

> 3 dayThis was my first SSD. I was torn between this and a Samsung EVO. Really, it was the 10 yr warranty that swung me to the SanDisk. Since longevity it still a concern with SSD, I dont regret spending a little more for the piece of mind. It worked flawlessly on initial fire up. Its my OS drive and I had zero issues installing Windows 8.1 on my brand new gaming rig I just built. Holy crap does this thing boot up fast! The main specs of my PC: ASUS Maximus Hero VII Intel 4790K PNY GTX 770 OC 4GB 16 GB ADATA 2400 WD 1TB HDD

> 3 dayI 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.
