SanDisk - 480GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive Plus
- Key Specs
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 535 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 445 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 2.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

A: A SSD drive is no different than a regular hard disk drive when it comes to installation and connection to the motherboard as long as the drive interface is the same (SATA connection on the motherboard of the computer and SATA connection on the hard drive). I've swapped out "regular" spinning platter based hard drives with SSD drive on many computers (desktops and laptops) and all have worked very well. In fact, I prefer to use SSD drives on laptops because the SSD drives are all solid state memory chips with no moving parts. It also uses less power. The benefits of using the SSD in a laptop is since it has no moving parts you can't induce read/write errors with hard bumps or knocks while the drive is in use reading or writing data. In a desktop installation, since you're not going to carry it around as you would a laptop while using it the benefits of "no moving parts" are not as valuable however, the increase in data access speed is. If your desktop computer already has a 2.5" hard drive slot available the 2.5" SSD drive will fit perfectly. The mounting screw holes will line up perfectly and you should have no problems mounting the drive. If you only have the larger hard drive slots (for the 3.5" drives) you can use an adapter that you mount the 2.5" drive on to then mount the adapter into the 3.5" drive slot.
A: Yes you can.
Q: Can I install a Model: SDSSDA-480G-G26SKU: 5394700 for Laptops on a Desktop?
A: Yes, however unless you have a 2.5" bracket already in your case you will need to purchase a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket to mount properly. The technology is the same otherwise as they both use SATA connectors.
Q: can this fit in my dell 7567 empty hdd bay?
A: Sure. Just use the handy-dandy adaptor sold here for $9.95. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-ssd-mount-black/5516000.p?skuId=5516000
A: My simple answer is that is what they are paid and trained to do. I don't know cost as I do all of my own pc maintenance. If I don't know how to do it I used YouTube.
Q: Does this work with macbook pro mid 2012 13inch non retina?
A: Yes, I have a MacBook pro 2013 no retina, and it fits properly leaving a lot of space too.
A: From what I can read the two drives are the same physical size and both are SATA. Therefore, you should be able to replace the 240G with the 480G. To do the transfer of the OS and data will require either cloning software (and drive enclosure) or a clone unit. I had an enclosure from another Sandisk SSD and a version of Acronis Clone. So I was able to install the new drive in my laptop and put the old drive in the enclosure. Boot from the Acronis Clone disk and then wait for the process to be completed. In your case I don't see that Sandisk sells the SSD with enclosure (at least not on Best Buy) and the 480G doesn't come with the cloning software. Best Buy and other vendors sell enclosures for as low as $12 and Best Buy has a cloning unit that will clone the old to new without use of a computer. The advantage to the enclosure is that you will be able to use your old drive as a portable drive.
Q: Can I use it for my Macbook pro 2011 latest 2011) ?
A: Yes, I have a MacBook pro no retina 2013 and it fits right in leaving some space around it. SSDs are way smaller and lighter than HDD.
