    This Samsung SSD works great and brought new life to a 10 year old HP workstation. Well worth the money and instant gratification.

    SSDs help boost your productivity. Especially if you are going from a HDD. You will immediately feel the results. Thanks

    ROSEVILLE GEEK SQUAD is AWESOME

    The GEEK SQUAD in Roseville, California is AWESOME! I had the infamous "blue screen" on my laptop and thought everything was gone...pictures, work, etc...Herman suggested several things that worked and the guy that did most of the work on it was TERRIFIC. He kept me posted on work needing to be done AND resurrected EVERYTHING!!! I paid for a One Year Warranty that was WELL worth the price and my final cost was MUCH LESS than I would have paid for a brand new laptop...THANK YOU AGAIN GEEK SQUAD!!!!

    Happy with SSD, the documentation is VERY poor.

    I bought this to replace a failing drive in my all-in-one touchscreen desktop PC. The PC boots noticeably faster and there is a slight improvement when opening programs vs. the original HDD. The 5 year warranty gave me confidence that this will last a long time and it comes with the ability to be encrypted. These are the 2 reasons I chose it, even though it was priced higher than similar capacity SSDs. Unfortunately, the encryption is complicated if this is the only drive for your computer and contains the operating system, and the online instructions are lacking. I must complain that this had the WORST documentation for any product that I can remember. It has a 2.5" x 3.5" booklet in multiple languages. The ONLY instruction in English is about a 2" x 2" section (4 bullet points) on 1 page in VERY small font that directs you to their websites. The instructions there are lacking if you are cloning your current drive to this one to replace your old internal drive. You will NOT need to adjust your BIOS for this, but the instructions regarding this are not intuitive. I have never replaced a drive before, but I was able to get the job done.

    My old hard drive on my laptop was painfully slow. I decided to get this Sandisk SSD and what a difference! Easy installation and more than tripled disk I/O.

    I have put a couple of these in older laptops and it’s giving a couple of more years to some aging equipment. Easy to install and formats/installs amazingly fast.
