    I have this in my system for Photoshop and Lightroom. This SSD is very fast. While it's not as fast as some of the more expensive SSD's, it does an amazing job for the price. If you want to step up from a 5400rpm HDD or a 7200rpm HDD, this SSD is a great choice for those on a budget.

    I was really excited about getting this SSD. However, I had trouble with the first two SSDs I bought (both were defective). The third is now in my laptop and I could not be more pleased with it. My laptop is running better than when it was new. SanDisk - Ultra II 960GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive for Laptops

    Recently had the urge to upgrade my pc again and felt that it was time to make the jump to an SSD. I purchased this specific on due to the high capacity and great price/gb. Installation was extremely easy (pretty much plug and play) and after cloning my old hdd I have seen a huge boost to b performance. Boot times have decreased from ~1.5 minutes to less than 30 seconds for full boot. Games like xcom which took a few minutes to load not take less than 30 seconds to get to main screen. Clearly exceeded my expectations and I would definitely buy more for my other computers in the house.

    Having owned various SSD drives from PNY, SanDisk and Samsung with capacities between 240-500GB, i wanted a bigger drive. Hoping to get a Samsung SSD but saw this 960GB SanDisk drive on sale and decided to get it. It's the cheapest 960GB SSD at the time. The drive came with just the spacer and nothing else. The Apricorn EZ GIG cloning software and SanDisk dashboardcan be download from SanDisk website. I didn't download any since i don't really want any. Cloned my hard drive with Macrium Reflect Free which took a little over 1 hour. Booted up with the new SSD in Windows 10 with no problem. I was not surprised at the overall speed since this is not the first SSD i owned. What i am really surprise is that there is definitely a difference in speed between the SSD drives. I didn't run any benchmarks but from daily usage i can tell the my Samsung EVO is fastest and the slowest is the PNY. The Sandisk is faster then the PNY but slightly slower than the Samsung. This just confirmed my belief that not all SSDs are equal.

    I had no idea how much an SSD could make. I had been extremely disappointed in the performance of my Laptop. With an i7 chip and 8 gigs of memory I expected better, My boot time was insufferable. Then, the standard drive died and I went with this Sandisk Ulta II drive. I literally went from a 5 minute boot to barely 15 seconds. Seriously. The drive just screams. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

    Great value drive fast enough for 4K video backup

    I purchased 2 of these drives at different points when they were on sale for about $250. These are not the fastest drives, like the Samsung 850 Pro, nor is the warranty as long (3 years vs. 10 for Samsung), but I have found these drives are very reliable. Usually with SSDs, if they aren't DOA or die soon after initial use, they tend to last because there are no moving parts. I use these to back up 4K videos of my kids' events, so I am not constantly writing to them as may be the case for many people, so I cannot comment on reliability from normal use, but they are tremendous value for backups.

    I bought two of these units on deal of the day using either a price match or a new lowered price during deal of the day. That alone made it worthwhile because both items even after taxes was under $217 and one was even under $200 with a price match. Overall it's not the fastest as I said on the market but it's more than adequate to speed up an older laptop or even a newer laptop. Windows loading becomes I don't know something fantastic from under 30 seconds or less. It is good to have the extra storage capacity to store files that I needed to be accessed very quickly not just operating system.

    So far as SSD drive goes, this hasn't disappointed. Realistically, the speed between brands isnt noticeably different. Samsungs Pro line warranty is a little ridiculously long. And their 850 EVO is more expensive than SanDisks. So SanDisk got the nod. The only reason to ding them one star is that it doesn't have Samsung's (proprietary) cloning software. Something that has made migration efforts a piece of cake.

    When purchasing a new desktop PC, I was continually looking for one that also contained an internal SSD. I finally decided it was less expensive to simply find one with a similar capacity as the one that it came with and then move the entire disk to the SSD. Great decision. My original hard drive is still available if needed. Once I copied everything to the SSD, I disconnected the power to my hard drive to save it for later possible use and started using the new SSD. Not only is it lightning fast, my PC is so quiet I have to put my ear against the case to verify it is on. This is the second SanDisk Ultra II 960GB internal disk I have purchased, one for an older PC over a year ago and yet another one for my new Dell XPS PC and I could not be more pleased. Never had a problem with either of them. Highly recommended.

    The laptop standard hard drive died and was replaced with this SSD 960GB drive. Much more space and much faster access for most applications. Only sw not faster are programs within a VM, but starting the VM off the SSD drive is much faster. Had this about a month so far. If you use your computer a lot and you can afford it, this is worth the extra money.

    their ultra II line is probably the best performance for the money you can buy. i own so many brands of ssd's and sandisk is one of my top picks. although it is not a benchmark leader, it loads windows faster than any other drive i have. windows doesn't even get a chance to show its loading animations... just jumps right into the os. For me, that matters more than to be highest on the benchmarks. if you care about bench-marking, then get the san disk extreme pro. i have one of those too and i honestly don't see a difference in speed. the only difference is price.

    An affordable option for SATA 2.5 SSD Memory!

    I am truly pleased with this Sandisk hard drive. I had a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5 SSD in my laptop before this and I can truly tell no difference in real-world speeds. I use it for my steam and video libraries and it has plenty of space to offer and loads the games in no time at all. For video editors or photographers I am sure there is some measurable difference by going with the Samsung 850 EVO, but if you are a general user looking for a great hard drive upgrade for your laptop or desktop, look no further, especially considering it is 100 dollars less than the Samsung 850 EVO.

    This SSD is probably the fastest I’ve used. I put it in Asus running Windows 10 Pro. The boot is around 6 seconds to where I can run programs. It’s excellent for anyone needing or wanting to boost an old system or just speed up a new one.

    This is a good SSD, especially for the money. It's a good size drive and decent performance. I put this in my Lenovo Yoga 14, boot takes just seconds and programs load almost instantly. There are better drives out there but for the price it's hard to beat.
