    I bought two of these drives, price matched with Amazon, and I couldn't be happier. Installation is as simple as removing the existing drive and just plugging in this new one. Performance is excellent.

    I bought 2 of these and I am currently using them in Raid 0. With using an AMD Motherboard, I am getting 701 MB/sec read and 649 MB/sec writing. Amd does not get the full potential that Intel would get but it does work very well and quick also. The only downfall I have right now is the SSD dashboard does not recognize that I have them installed. I am currently emailing support and they are working on the issue for me. I will change my review if things get in working order. Hence the reason for only 4 stars.

    Easy to install. Easy to transfer data from hard. .Computer starts up considerably faster because it doesn't have to find and retrieve data from a spinning disc. Well worth the conversion.

    I’ve owned multiple of these. They are very fast, increase the performance of anything that had a HDD. Switch to an SSD you won’t be disappointed

    Swapped out a platter drive with this SSD. Boot time in 15 seconds, so much faster. I read about some issues with it dying quickly but I'm 2 months in and still working like a charm. Good deal

    I bought this SSD drive for speed and reliability and I haven't been disappointed. It has performed up to my expectations. My only regret is that I did not buy a higher capacity drive.

    Amazing Hardrive for Mac

    I purchased this product for my 2012 MacBook Pro. I have extensively used my prob since I've been in college. The last couple of years my pro was so slow. Just thought my pro was old. Kept taking to geek squad and they just said it was apps slowing it down. Took it to a different Best Buy and they found out that it was my hard drive. Sure enough that's what it was and they suggest this hard drive. They installed it with geek squad protection and my 5 year old MacBook Pro is faster and more responsive than it was the day I got it. It is faster than any of the new pros that's how good the hard drive is. Best investment I have made in a long time.

    SanDisk II are extremely reliable and fall in the middle of the pack for speed. Excellent for Laptop or PC upgrades. I never have had a return and this is my 13th one in the field.

    This is an excellent choice for people like me who need a fast computer and need the storage space too. This was a fair deal on a fast, quality, SSD, with enough space for my files.

    I purchased this hard drive from best buy after reading the reviews on line. The setup was easy using the data transfer cable (Apricorn) that I also purchased. I have been using the hard drive for a month now and no problems so far.

    Top Shelf Performance

    I needed a fast drive for a Linux build computer with some room to grow. 256 GB drives were out of the question. Then Best Buy ran a sale on these. This one seemed to fit the bill. Extensive testing on systems that support USB 3 and SATA 6 GB/S showed that this drive can write at 400 MB/S which is quite impressive. For a while I was using it at the end of a USB 3 cable to transfer files in a hurry to new builds. Ended up installing it in another Linux system. I guess these were discounted because the early failures when they were first introduced. Didn't have any issues and was very pleased with the performance. Usually I only buy Samsung 850 Pros.

    Faster than my 7500 rpm disk. Easy to install and setup for someone familiar with their motherboard. 480Gb does fill up fast if you are video editing. I will be buying the 980Gb next.
