Awesome speed was accomplished after this upgrade. It was an easy upgrade for me and I'm truly enjoying the performance of this drive.

Sandisk has a long and stable history of providing portable flash memory which is not only reliable but durable. While there are superior designs the truth is you will then enter the bespoke/boutique market and have to pay much more for their quality. As of late, Sandisk has now been met with much more competition from companies like Samsung, Corsair or Crucial and their current line of products have stuck to objectifying reliability over performance.
With that said, the truth is unless you are a media creator or someone who will consistently use this drive then the performance factor will be as minuscule as each time you open or close your applications. In comparison to the days of mechanical drives this is still a huge improvement over minutes of boot time and hanging on loading times. When comparing Sandisk to other companies you will be hard press to find enough of a difference to deter you from purchasing this unless 2-3 seconds or milliseconds here and there bother you. From a reliability standpoint regarding whether this drive will withstand the test of time, for me it did. I am rating this 4/5 stars simply due to the price. Now that digital media has permeated the consumer market it is laughable that we have yet to receive the required storage capacity at an affordable price to hold all of our digital media. Pair this with data caps and the issue compounds but the truth is downloading of media will always be superior to streaming as there will never be a concern of buffering or an outage with localized media. We need to get to 8TB+ SSDs at under $500 sooner in order to actually capitalize on this market before 4K becomes standardized. If not then we will perpetually be behind the curve and those of us who take to this lifestyle will be forced to compensate for our storage needs through secondary sources like external drives.

SSD = Much Faster

I got this to replace a hybrid drive that had crashed. This is much faster. It takes 15-20 seconds to boot up as compared with 2-3 minutes. As the cost of SSD drives has come down, I will never have another computer where at least the boot drive is not solid state. I cannot comment on the longevity of this drive yet, as I have only had it for a month or two.

My laptop drive died and I wanted to extend the hardware life a bit longer. Well, with this SSD, I have done that and so much more. The laptop does hibernate flawlessly now and the battery last 1.5x longer now with less heat coming up thru the keyboard. Then there is the speed that I gained from the SSD drive access time...WOW!!

We load some fairly large tables. Around 10,000,000 million rows. With the old hard drive this would take over two days. With this new SSD it took under 2 hours. Everything else was left the same, just the new SSD. The selects went from 9 to 10 seconds too under a second. We use MySql as our database just for a point of reference.

I purchased this to replace a smaller primary drive and have been very happy with it. With close to a terabyte of storage this drive should be more than enough for anyone. Since it is a solid state drive it is much faster than any regular hard drive and would be perfect for anyone looking to upgrade to a solid state drive.

This product is the best bang for your buck.
It came on time and the packaging was pristine.
Everything was fully functional straight out of the box and everything was included.
Setting up was even easier by quickly looking at the guide.
Would recommend to a friend.
Fast!

Solid State Drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro

My 2009 Macbook Pro had, as of late, become slower and slower even while using disk utility to keep it fresh. My son is a programmer and suggested I replace my hard drive with a solid state drive. The speed is amazing. Easily changed out and installed from Time Machine back-up. I have always had good luck with San Disk.

SSDs are getting cheaper and better...

I remember when SSDs were extremely expensive. When I bought this, the price was slightly over $200. One TB SSDs were nearly $1000 a year ago.
SSDs are super fast, 4-6x faster than regular hard drives. My Windows 10 computer boots up in 10 seconds. Opening and saving files are super quick. It makes my computer super fast.

So glad I decided to do this upgrade. I was looking at an SSD with smaller capacity, but decided to to spend the extra and get the 960GB version. It allows my laptop to run quickly and smoothly. No lagging when running apps like Photoshop or Illustrator. It was certainly worth the money spent.

This was on sale - and $50 more than a 480 GB one I planned to put into my new laptop - so to get double the size for that little money made this purchase a no brainer. And installed - taking out the 1TB regular HDD and adding more base memory - the new laptop screams so much faster and is quieter.

This isn't my first 960 GB Ultra II SSD but it is the first one I've put in an old laptop and what a difference it has made. I had a WD 1 TB drive in my laptop and it ran ok but it just seemed like it took forever for the laptop to boot and then the login seemed to take longer than it should. But now that I've added the SSD, boot times are extremely improved and within seconds of typing my password, I can actually do things and not wait on the hard drive to finish loading everything for the login. Sure I'm only running at 3 Gb/s instead of 6 Gb/s due to the age of the laptop, but it is worth the cost of the SSD for me to continue to use the old laptop.

A sweet 1TB SSD hard drive to run my OS and most demanded programs. Installed it in my desktop tower. Not much else to say except it was a sweet deal because I bought it on a sale too, couldn't find a comparable disk at a price even close and I know SanDisk is good stuff, too.
