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

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.

Let me start by saying i run this drive as the boot and holds most of my music that i listen to. It still shows 100% life remaining on the SanDisk dashboard. no problems with startups or shutdowns. i keep a battery backup on so no power drops. I bought this drive in 2015 and payed $350 new with 10 year warranty. here are the spec on my use from the dashboard. Power on hours : 23783 Power cycle count : 514 Program fail count : 0 Unexpected power loss count : 77 Temp : 82 F / 28 C Media Wearout Indicator : 0.71% ********* AMAZING ******** Available reserve space : 100 % Total GB Write : 8420 Total GB Read : 17438 Total GB NAND Write : 21876 Temp throttle status : on I keep the drive at about 50% full. If I go over 60% i usually swap some music to my Ultra II drive. Never a problem from that drive. In this day and age it nice t find a reliable and affordable drive.

Works flawlessly with my Gigabyte GA-Z97X 3 motherboard. Very quick load times (comparable to my old Samsung Pro 850 drive. I used Marcium Reflect to clone my existing spindle-based HDD to the SanDisk. So I cannot attest to the SanDisk cloning software that you can download from their website. For the price, this SSD is really a no brainer. Im very, very happy and plan to buy more for other machines in my office.

I did a side by side of two Dell e6540 laptops (brand new, same image, specs, etc). Only difference was the SSD and the HDD. The HDD was getting around 100 MB/s seq read and 95 MB/s seq write. On the SSD I get around 515 MB/s seq and 485 MB/s write. The SSD system is very snappy whereas the HDD will spin frequently. I went with this SSD over the Samsung based on the reviews from Anand Tech and Toms hardware. I did check prices today however and the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB is only 89 bucks. I bought this one last week for 130 but it is 119 today. If money is tight and youre trying to get the absolute biggest bang for your buck, you might want to look into the Samsung but if you want the best, I dont think youll be disappointed in this at all. If Anand and Tomshardware recommend it and claim its the best, you cannot go wrong.

SanDisk has always had a reputation for quality products and this SSD is no exception. With the cost of SSD drives falling it is not hard to justify an upgrade if you are still using mechanical hard drives. This is a great price for a large capacity drive like this. I still use a mechanical drive for bulk storage, but all my programs run from this one, and you wont believe the difference in the response of your computer when you upgrade to a SSD. I have no problem recommending this drive, it is top-quality all the way.

Very happy with this drive. I recently converted an older Windows XP system over to Linux and I could tell that my hard drive was the choke point in performance. I managed to catch this beauty on sale for $120, and I was happily surprised to learn it came with a 10 year warranty - I guess that SSD drives have really improved their read/write cycle longevity. Anyhow, I moved my Linux install over to this drive and it truly flies now - faster boot time, and much faster application load times. Even Netflix desktop running under WINE works fast. I would recommend this as a boot drive for anyone. (Fantastic for compact home-theater PC builds) It also makes a great laptop/notebook drive, or to stick into an external USB drive case since their are no moving parts - much more drop resistant, requires less power, and generates less heat than a drive with a spinning platter.

This is STUPID FAST!!! Had to get it for my new Dell Laptop. The new Inspiron 7000 series with the new 4K screen is very slim and sleek. Highly recommended if you are in the market for a new laptop. Only downside is the SSD drive I had in my old laptop is too thick. So kind of a bummer had to buy another SSD. Decided to go up to the 480KB from teh 256 Curcial Technology drive that I had. Great drive too, but this is a few notches above it. Windows 8 loads in 5 seconds flat on this thing. Absolutely nuts! The reviews seem to indicate this should be a solid performer and have great reliability. Time will tell on that end, but I can assure that the speed is there! Is it worth the extra $50 or so to upgrade form the Crucial? That I leave up to you, for me I would rather spend the extra money and know I am getting the best. But I have two Crucials and they have both performed admirably, just decided to try SanDisk this time based on the online review magazines. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing, took my mid 2011 iMac running Mavericks from a boot time of over a minute to under 10 seconds with absolutely no lag. I cannot recommend it enough - the pro class is definitely the way to go with an SSD and the 10 year warranty is just the icing on the cake. It makes my old iMac feel like a totally different and new machine. With it more than 1/2 full (190 GB FREE), it still is clocking in at 380-410 MB/s read and write - definitely work the money.

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.

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.
