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

I bought this drive to replace an aging Raptor drive which I feared was failing after 10 years of solid use. My Raptor drive was only 74 GB and was so heavily strapped with the excessive Windows 7 64 bit load, that I had to move all of my resource intense programs (Video Games) to a secondary drive. Even after doing this, every time a Windows update popped up, I would have to go through and make space on the drive for the computer to run properly. Out with the old and in with the new. I purchased this drive along with the Corsair 600Q quiet case with the hopes of cutting down on noise as well as improving operation. I had no desire to purchase a new Windows operating system so my plan was to backup the Raptor onto the SanDisk. My original plan was to achieve this by using the method of backing up to an external drive and then rebuild onto the new drive. I actually started down this path until I loaded the Dashboard program onto the drive. This is when I noticed that the drive came with a one time use drive transfer program. Rather than looking a gift horse in the mouth, I took at shot at using what was intended to be a simpler process. I have to admit that I was impressed at the ease of installation of the SanDisk drive with the provided software. I started up the program, answered a few basic questions, and hit execute. Thinking that there would be something else to do at this point, I waited for the next prompt. After a minute I felt pretty safe that the prompt was not coming so I headed off to mow the lawn thinking I had a few hours to kill. After about 30 minutes I came back in to find, much to my surprise, that it was more than 60% complete. Twenty minutes later, before I was done weed eating, the program was done. Power down, disconnect the Raptor, and reboot. My system started up immediately, just like it did before...with one exception, no more 10k RPM whine from the old Raptor drive. To date I am extremely happy with purchase and would strongly recommend the SanDisk Extreme PRO to any of my friends.

Seems to work great, plugged it into my Mac Pro with this adapter:

Holy crap. I bought this out of desperation and hatred for my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. The thing has been a piece of junk since I bought it and even 3 apple stores have said that something is wrong because its so slow...but it passed all their tests...so nothing they could do. That MacBook took over 15 seconds to open any app...since the day I bought it. It could barely turn itself on. Bottom line: I read J. Perkins (posted 8/30/14) and Andrea Polks review (posted 8/17/14) and made this thing happen in so little time. I bought the harddrive, the Inateck 2.5 USB 3.0 external case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FCLG65U/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1) and cloned the whole Macbook harddrive. That took hours, I think 13 or so...but I had over 450GB on the HDD. I had to go to Home Depot and buy a small Torx bit screwdriver, because I didnt have a T6 (tiny). I looked up how to select the external (SSD) as my startup disk for the Macbook (have the computer ignore the installed drive on start up and load the OS from the external/SSD). The computer worked, was already faster so I decided to go for it. I took the back of the laptop off, carefully removed the hard drive and placed this SSD in there. I had to use a small furniture cushion as a spacer between the case and the drive to keep it secure but THEN... I started the computer, its super fast, opens every app within seconds (Ive actually started the computer and clicked every app at the bottom to watch it load up super fast). Totally worth it, honestly like a new computer. Ive since formatted the old Macbook hard drive, removed the mounting screws and its not installed in the inateck case as a 500GB external harddrive to store GoPro and pictures on. Wife = happy.

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

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.

This 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

I installed this as my C-drive on a new Levono I7 PC with 16MB RAM. I took out the original HDD with Windows 8 installed and put my own copy of Win 7 OS on this SSD along with my programs. My computer is SILENT and SO FAST!!! Like all SSDs this drive makes no sound at all (no moving parts) and requires no fan cooling. The only trouble I had was adapting its tiny size to the 3.5 bay in my tower PC, which is a mechanical problem. I love this drive!!!

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.

This drive is freaking awesome. My computer (Early 2011 Macbook Pro with 4 GB RAM, 2.3 GHz i5) just went from dying DOG to flying GOD. Here are some of the observations, after swapping out the stock Hitachi 5400 rpm drive with this one: - Write speed of 480 MB/s and - Read speed of 520 MB/s (based on BlackMagicDesign Disk Speed Test, so take it with a grain of salt) Pros: - The PRO version provides the higher write speeds, almost double of regular drives - 10 year warranty (vs 5 years max. of the competitors) Cons: - None really (although some may argue the higher price, but the Pros stated above justify that IMO) Tip: Assuming the general idea for buying this is to improve your computer speed, you should consider looking at how much RAM you have and if your system is starving. In my case, Activity Monitor was showing that 4GB ram was maxing out so I upgraded to 8GB. With my normal usage which includes using Adobe Photoshop and illustrator, my RAM consumption was contained within 6GB, so the 8 GB RAM upgrade added a nice boost as well.

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.
