    For a long time, I resisted the temptation of getting an SSD because they were expensive as well as occasionally unreliable. Finally I decided to treat myself, and I cant believe it but it actually makes such a huge difference - mainly in game loading times and even when opening a file explorer. Ive been using this for a few months now and its been great. Of course, I do wish I had more SSD storage, but this has served me well holding my OS and games. This SanDisk is really fast and has given me no troubles that some of the older SSDs allegedly had a few years ago. The drive was easy to install and get running.

    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.

    It dropped $50 since I bought it January 26, 2015 but I dont care because it was worth it to breath new life into my aging 2008 MacBook Pro. My system bus is the only thing that keeps this from truly ripping as I have sata1. Nothing I can really do about that as I also maxed out the ram to 6Gigs despite Apple saying it would only take 4Gigs. My reboot time is around 55seconds as compaired to it being closer to 5 minutes or so w/the 7200RPM drive that it shipped w/from Apple. I only wish I had done it sooner. There are many other SSD drive options w/better storage for the buck but none w/ a TEN YEAR WARRANTY or even close. That was the clincher for me and that I have had SanDisk products that I have had good luck w/in the past didnt hurt. But it was definitely the TEN YEAR WARRANTY that hooked me.I even bought an iosafe just so I could get the longer warranty and data recovery after having had sooooo much lost data over the years (on my systems and systems in studios I recorded in/worked in). Did I mention the TEN YEAR brother scratching WARRANTY that this comes with? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh yea. The only reason I havent ripped out my Super Drive and put one in that space as well is that my system architecture wount support it :( It was relatively easy to install. I watched a bunch of utube videos and took it super slow and got some canned air and cleaned it out while I was in there. Oh ya my whole system runs cooler and the drive fluctuates from 90s to low 100s when I am really pushing it on a hot day. Also my battery life is way the fuzz longer (like hours longer) than it ever was. So in many ways it was like jumping up to a newer computer. I will get another one at some point to run as one of my external/backup drives (the 960GB if the price dropps).

    My experience has been a terrific waste of my time and effort combined with some of the worst tech support I have encountered. The Samsung 850 Evo is quite a bit less expensive depending on whose listings you look at and about the same performance numbers (Toms Hardware). The Evo Pro is a little more expensive for the same capacities. Short version: tried to format it for HFS+ on my Macbook Pro running El Capitan. The drive ends up with a 200MB FAT volume (??), and an HFS+ volume. Ok, Ill bite, since it appears functional on the surface. NOPE. Cant copy files/folders to it (-36 error, did the dot_clean thing to no avail). The thing is read-only turns out. Cant reformat (input/output error). Have to use Windows Diskpart to clean it, since no OSX or Windows GUI alternatives can control much less modify the mystery FAT partition. Go back and format it as HFS+, and the merry-go-round starts all over. The several tech support people I interacted with via live chat had no clue whatsoever, regardless of the amount of technical info/data provided. A couple of them outrightly lied about escalating the issue, the one guy openly deriding my efforts to get it escalated, when he couldnt even identify what log files he wanted to have in order to do so. In no wise did my case get escalated, which ultimately was no surprise. Hope you all have more success than I did. Sending it back for a refund, and ordered an 850 EVO, pocketing the difference in cost.

    This is a great SSD! The speed boost that you get when you change from a HDD to SSD is unbelievably fast and different.I purchased this SSD about 2 years ago and it is still going strong! One of the best upgrades that I have done to my laptop. I used to hate turning my laptop off, because of how long it would take it to boot back up. With this SSD the computer boots and shuts off in less than 10-15 secs compared to over a minute and a half for the HDD. This SSD comes with a long 10 years warranty, which is a plus! If you are thinking about upgrading to an ssd, DO IT! It will be one of the best performance boosts that you can do.

    I bought four of these for a new system. It has been six months now and I am pleased with the speed. However one of the units was defective and when I got around to the installation it was past the Amazon return period. So I returned it to SanDisk the supposed 10 year warranty. After several tedious e-mail exchanges they said I could return it, which I did 6 months ago. After one month they acknowledged receipt of the item. But I have not heard a word since then. Hence the two star review. The ten year warranty is nice but if they dont honor it the promise isnt worth much. It is a good product but dont buy it because of the warranty. Update 9/5/2015 I have had the 4 units now for about a year. Use is moderate. I am a software developer and I use one drive for compiling. The other three receive less use. SMART reports bad sectors on 3 of the 4 drives, ranging from 10 to 40. I am told that this is not sufficient to return the drives under warranty, but most of the drive health utilities that I have recommend that I watch the drives carefully, especially the one with 40 bad sectors. I am lowering the review from 2 to 1 star. I cannot recommend these drives. I got a couple of nasty comments because of a typo in the original post. I said I returned the drive to Samsung. That was a typo. Of course I sent it to the manufacturer (Sandisk). That should have been obvious. You cant just send drives back. You have to call and give them the serial numbers and get permission to return. I had Samsung on my mind because I just purchased Samsung replacements, which so far are working great. It was an honest typo. No need for the nasty comments.

    The drive works great and is very fast, but a couple comments- It arrives unformatted so remember to first format it when installing it. Second if you want to register the drive with SanDisk write down the serial number before installing the drive. While the SanDisk web registration page says enter the Product Code it actually requires the serial number. I found this out after installing the drive and did want to then have to disassemble the computer. While some companies put the s/n on the box, SanDisk does not. Also no software is included and must be downloaded from the web. As is common these days, the installation instructions are skimpy and in very fine print. Four years later and it still works flawlessly.

    I 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.

    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.
