My computer was so slow booting up that it was frustrating. I took it to Best Buy Geek Squad. I bought this drive and had them install it and transfer my data from my old drive. The next day I picked up my computer and I am very pleased. When I turn my computer on, it boots up very quickly and is a pleasure to work with.

Although not as fast as other ssd's this drive performed well and had an ample storage size. In all a good price for performance trade.

I had no idea that my video editing projects would actually become smoother and without any dropped frames simply by using a solid state drive. I knew they were faster, quieter, and more reliable, but it just blew me away that my ancient laptop would actually be improved in speed and I was using this drive as an external one instead of installing it inside the laptop. I will always run solid state or better if possible.

What can I say. It brought my old Thinkpad back to life. The laptop boots in 15 seconds instead of 3 minutes. No need to get a new laptop, got 2 times the storage and 10 times the speed!!

I read reviews on this product before I purchased and the reviews I read on Best Buy weren't the most flattering. So I was a little hesitant to purchase this SSD even with the savings I was getting.
I decided to read some reviews elsewhere like Newegg and Amazon which were much better than Best Buy's. So far - I've had the driver at least a month if not longer I have been very happy with it. Unless it dies on me within three years I'll call this purchase a success. Note I hope it lasts much longer than three years.
It's much faster than my previous HDD - of course an SSD is though - and it's running just as smoothly as I expected it to.

I purchased this driver after I had a Seagate drive start to fail. I am really happy with the speed of this drive and how fast it seems to be with loading and transferring files. Great deal!

I replaced the stock hard drive in my laptop with this SSD and it was a definite improvement. Easy to install. I upgraded the OS to Windows 10 and it loads up in less than 10 sec. I no longer hear the hard drive spinning while the computer is on. Read and write speed is much quicker than before.

I purchased two of these for a couple of PC's at home. They are so much faster than the WD 1TB 7200 rpm drives previously used. The cloning was easy and the current PC users love the new speed. So far so good after 3 weeks of use.

A ssd hard drive can make a computer boot up and run faster. The lack of internal electric motors and moving parts should add to reliability. The price was very good also.

I am a professional photographer. For years I have kept my data on a separate drive from my boot drive to protect it from the mishaps that can happen to boot drives. Last year, I added a third small (240GB) "work in progress" SS drive to speed up the workflow of my 30MB RAW imagine files. Now that prices have come down, I cloned my boot disk to this 960GB SSD, and I'm overjoyed I did. Large, complex photo editing software used to take about a minute to open; now it's about 4 seconds. The computer now takes a fourth as long to boot up. Everything seems to run much faster. No negatives in the first two months of use.

I purchased this drive, because my aging laptop was choking at startup and loading large databases. It made a huge difference. My computer had been taking five to seven minutes just to boot. With no other changes, it now takes about fifteen seconds.

I have had this SSD drive in my laptop for a couple weeks. I have a very good laptop to begin with (Intel i7 processor, 16GB Ram, 4GB separate video Ram). But installing this SSD drive was the best thing I ever did. Now my very good laptop is Great! Incredibly fast. Everything works faster, not just startup. Speaking of startup, from the time i push the power button to total startup of Windows 10 is 12 seconds! Also installing in my laptop was a breeze too. I got the $20 transfer cable and software from Bestbuy and the entire process (including cloning my old drive) took only about an hour.

Big improvement in speed and performance. Cut boot time from approximately 1 minute to 20 seconds. Programs load much faster. Great deal for the price.

I purchased the first drive to upgrade an old laptop that was running out of disk space. I cloned the old spinning drive to the new SSD. The transfer was flawless. I purchased a new laptop and put the second SanDisk SSD as a second drive on the new computer. They are both working great. The old laptop boots twice a s fast now and runs significantly faster. I've always had a good experience with SanDisk products. Best Buy had the best price in both brick and mortar and online. I'm very happy with Best Buy and the SanDisk SSD.

I purchased these SSDs for my desktop computers. I had an older i5 with 8 Gigs of RAM, where the hard drive was failing. This drive gave new life to the computer. I did a clean install of windows 7 and the computer boots quickly, primarily due to the drive. The price of SSDs is falling - I don't know if I would buy another mechanical device other than for backup or media.
