This drive is amazingly fast, and the price wasn't that bad

very nice drive and with a 10 year warranty awesome!!!

Comes with nice software that makes sure you are getting the speeds you paid for and also makes sure your hard drive is healthy

This drive was very fast for about six months until it failed yesterday, wiping out Windows 7 in the process

Great drive very fast

For most laptops you can easily access the hard drive from a plastic cover on the bottom

The system I put this in boots super quick, the drive is of course silent.

The most amazing thing about it all is the fact that SSD technology had improved to even faster drives than this one but this one is light years ahead of an old spinning Hard Drive

Great drive too, but this is a few notches above it.

Excellent warranty, fast drives, just a little pricey compared

It loads in 10 seconds even though I have the hard drive encrypted

I'm just saying that the most noticeable and relatively cost effective upgrade (with out the need of a benchmark) was going from a Hard Drive up to a Solid State Drive

Using the free utilities to transfer all of the data from the computer was really quite easy and only took about 30 minutes (you'll need to buy a USB 3.0 SATA III hard drive adaptor cable if you don't already have one)

I also picked up a Anker® 2.5 Inch USB 3.0 Hard Drive Disk External Enclosure Case for 9.5mm & 7mm 2.5" SATA HDD and SSD to connect to the PC via USB 3.0, to use when cloning my existing drive onto the new SanDisk Extreme PRO SSD via a free program called: Macrium Reflect

In summary, buy this if you can't afford the Samsung 850 Pro and want the second fastest drive out there as of mid-2014

I ordered this drive for my Black Magic Designs HyperDeck Shuttle 2 since it is on the approved drive list and it works perfectly

I ordered this drive for my Black Magic Designs HyperDeck Shuttle 2 since it is on the approved drive list and it works perfectly

By far one of the fastest Hard drives I have ever used

Upgraded my HP Elite 8300, used the free MiniTool Partition Wizard available here on Amazon, first connected the SSD on the system so the W7 OS would recognize the drive and install the driver it needed, then just used the MiniTool Partition Wizard to copy the contents of my regular Boot drive to the SSD, then unplugged the old physical drive and booted to the SSD, no problems

Love it compared to the standard issused hard drive

This is roughly four times faster than the internal hard drive.

9.5 mm hard drives are still available for replacement, just not used in design

Very fast drive running Windows 10 OS

Once that is completed in Windows' "Disk Management", the drive is ready to be used

I copied her hard drive onto this SSD and we haven't had one problem since

SanDisk's instructions explain how to clone via a USB to SATA cable, but I installed the hard drive internally and then initialized it so Explorer would recognize it.

Hard Drive Vs Sandisk Extreme Pro SSDTo test the difference in speeds between my old hard drive and the new Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD, I went to the Parkdale Speed Test (online download the executable file) to test the hard drive, and later the SSD.Check out the video results to see the difference, and to help you decide if making the switch to this SSD drive is for you

I replaced the hard drive in my 2011 iMac with this and it ZOOMS!

CAN tell you the Windows Experience Score for the hard drive went from 4.5 to 7.6 after installing the drive, so it did increase performance

And have you tried removing a hard drive from an iMac?

Excellent solid state drive.

and it's been far more durable than my old spinning disk MacBook hard drive

If you are switching from a standard Hard drive to an SSD don't forget to buy the SSD adapter to mount it properly

I replaced my 2010 15" MBP's original 500 GB hard drive with this, and the results are, so far, outstanding

very happy compared to my rapter 10,000rpm 300g hard drive

dv7t 6c00 hard drive with this SSD

Very good hard drive.

I went from a 7200 RPM 500 Gig hard drive to this sucker

Installed this as my third hard drive in my laptop

Why treat the customer with condescension for isolating a clearly-defective drive

Excellent drive.

I can easily recommend this drive right out of the box

this drive is the perfect compliment to those parts.

Once the firmware was updated, the drive started to work and has worked for the last few weeks without issue

This is the best SSD drive I have ever seen.

So, I thought a faster hard drive could assist in making the streaming faster and gave the SanDisk

Then I replaced the hard drive with this ssd, put my dvd rom back in, and rebooted

So the only thing i would like to point out is, if you connect this SSD to a PC via a enclosure for the firs time, (at leas in my case, using ORICO 2588US3 USB 3.0 2.5 - inch SATA External Hard Drive HDD Case.), the drive will not be recognized at all, which is in contrast to what some of the reviewers commented on this product(it will show up in the windows as a hard disk )

Love SSD drives.

An amazing drive

I guess with the old green hard drives, the time the browser program takes to load the data is enough time to reduce image quality

The drive comes in a very small but easy to open package

The X300s supports the TCG Opal 2.0 and Microsoft Encrypted Hard Drive industry security standards.

The same error happened about 2 months ago with a different drive and in a different enclosure, so I doubt that it's a bad drive or enclosure issue

Not to mention that one of the support articles said that OS X El Capitan was probably not compatible with the drive (ridiculous!)

In the past with mechanical hard drives, the computer would slow as the drive filled with all of that extraneous junk from surfing the web etc

I'm comfortable with this high end Solid State Drive.

Happy that it arrived the day after the original hard drive took it's death dive!

I've been building PC's for 25 years and one of my tricks is to use the fastest drive the customer can afford

The adapter installed easily in the 3.5" slot and I connected the SSD to my system's motherboard with a new SATA 6GBps cable and the power supply that had previously been attached to my old hard drive

Cloned hard drive to this drive, cloning software included in tools menu in sandisk dashboard.

This drive compares very well with other SSD's, but

I cannot in good conscience recommend this drive for any laptop as you would be putting your data at risk if lost or stolen

I have not run a speed test on it, but I did move my steam library onto it, and the games are twice as fast as the traditional hard drive

My research may say that this drive is the fastest, but unless I start pulling drives and comparing them in the same machine I'll never know, because it's in my fastest machine

Replaced a smaller 64GB solid state drive with this

Atomos Ninja Assassin 7.1" 4K & HD HDMI ProRes/DNx Monitor Recorder - Bundle With SanDisk Ultra II 240GB Solid State Drive

Not sure if mine was defective or there were just compatibility issues with my system, but drive was completely unstable and locked within minutes of booting up

great drive sped up my boot time to almost nothing

almost 2 years to the date of purchase this drive failed.

I don't understand how they cannot get drives to replace RMA/dead drives

Remove the screws holding the hard drive bracket in the laptop, gently pull the hard drive out of the connector using the plastic pull tab on the bracket, and remove the hard drive.

I cloned the hard drive to the SSD, I removed the Sandisk Extreme from the external enclosure and put it into the ICY bracket

I decided to physically remove the Mac's optical drive as well because it was no longer in

There are significantly cheaper drives for customers willing to trade performance for value

My new system I built with this awesome Drive, now boots up windows 10 in 10 seconds

This drive has kept my Macbook Pro SUPER fast

Twenty minutes later (SSD to SSD), awesome new drive.

We buy Thinkpads with the cheapest hard drive and replace them with these.

Upon Windows repair, the PC booted as expected, but about 3x's faster!Installation was remarkably easy to do, and this drive is amazingly fast in comparison to my old drive

(MacBookPro5,3) and had been noticing recently that it was spending more time than usual waiting on the hard drive (spinning disk)

After about a year, my "new" drive failed.

Other than that, this drive itself is super fast

Replaced the 256GB hard drive in my notebook with the SanDisk Extreme Pro 240GB SATA drive.

The iMac was constantly swapping out memory to the slow internal hard drive and it was KILLING me!On the advice

Basically, you get a SanDisk SATA cord and it plugs into your motherboard; you then mirror copy your current hard drive to the SanDisk and because it is a flash drive, you can play games and use your software and it's SO MUCH FASTER!

I had no idea just how much faster my computer would be with this hard drive.

and then I will format the old hard drive and use it as storage space

Great drive, great price.

This drive and the Sandisk Software ((SDSSDCK-AAA-G27)) that I purchased to clone my existing drive are excellent

I feel like I bought a new computer - this drive is AMAZING!!!

I swapped out the SSD with the old hard drive and ran the PC for a week without issue.

In this day and age it nice t find a reliable and affordable drive

Unscrew and remove the back panel covering the hard drive (on the Dell, I just took a guess and removed the central panel and there was the hard drive, the same size as the SSD).

The drive was easy to install - but I did have to get a spacer as this drive is smaller than the one it replaced. .

It also allows you to update the firmware, erase the drive, and setup the ability to securely erase the drive contents

Got this to replace a defective default hard drive in my laptop.

You will need this enclosure because you have to have a way to connect the computer to the new ssd in order to transfer the system from one hard drive to another.

Then remove the screws holding the hard drive to the bracket (one of mine was difficult to remove and almost got completely stripped before coming loose.

My laptop (1 year old at the time of this writing) is good but is known for its slow mechanical hard drive

This hard drive has great transfer rates.

I added this hard drive to my Mac Mini and cloned my data from the startup drive onto this.

so I was familiar with the process of how to install a hard drive into my 4 year old Dell XPS 8300 desktop, but found that after looking under the hood I would need two things: a ICY DOCK EZ-FIT MB990SP-B 2 x 2.5 Inch to 3.5 Inch Drive Bay SATA SSD/HDD Mounting Kit / Bracket / Adapter and a Monoprice 18-Inch SATA III 6.0 Gbps Cable with Locking Latch and 1 x 90-Degree Plug (108783)

So in reality, this is an "additional" hard drive for your computer but has a faster flow speed than a normal hard drive

I needed a fast external drive for making music with my DAW

I read a few reviews and decided to replace her 5200rpm hard drive with solid state.

For a long time I've known that the bottleneck (self-imposed limitation to speed...) in my PC has been the hard drive

This drive is freaking awesome

Before SSD Read - 91.7 MBpsBefore SSD Write - 128.2 MBpsAfter SSD Read - 625.0 MBpsAfter SSD Write - 322.6 MBpsWINDOWS INDEX SCORE:5.9 before SSD - 5.9 for hard drive score.6.7 after SSD - 7.9 for hard drive score.----------------------------------------------------UPDATE

I got this solid state drive (SSD) to review through the Amazon Vine program.

So I ended up putting it one of my newer computers where we play most of our games; as such it's a smaller hard drive than my ACTUAL hard drive; and for normal computer use such as internet, basic programs, not super high graphic games: it is definitely not worth the cost of the disc

WOW!I used this drive to replace the standard mechanical drive on my

This is an excellent drive

When a customer wants "fast" and "sustaining", I give recommend this drive

The drive was easy to install and get running.

I already own the Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connection ASW-USB3-25 (Grey) and it works wonderfully.

I've had this solid state drive now for over a couple of months now, and it has worked flawlessly.

It was slow even for a standard hard drive

This drive is GOOD

(Best if you get a hard drive enclosure)And go to youtube and search how to install the drive.

Prior to cloning my existing hard drive, I cleaned up files and made a Windows Rescue Disk

(a Western Digital, 1 TB hard drive, 7200 rpm) took approx

I wanted to really like this drive, but it seems that you're going to need that 10-year warranty

This drive does not disappoint

Increasing the amount of RAM or a faster hard drive?

Had written this review a month ago, I would have said this is the fastest drive on the market

I upgraded the 1TB Samsung EVO in my desktop PC with this drive and to be honest didn't notice much of a difference - then again I expected as much - since performance of the top SSD drives nowadays is within a few percent of each other

An upgrade for our old hard drive that was going bad

Be amazed how fast and reliable a drive it is!

Its a hard drive ... duh

Added to my late 2012 Mac Mini using the OWC Data Doubler SSD/2.5" Hard Drive Installation Kit.

Fast drive and I like the long warranty

As a computer tech, I see everything from dead HDDs (hard drives) to HDD overload

Nice drive but a little slow on the write

I have not run a speed test on it, but I did move my steam library onto it, and the games are twice as fast as the traditional hard drive

The SanDisk SSD 480 GB is smaller than the hard drive on my Dell (750 GB), and I had a lot of photos, videos, and music taking up a lot of room.

I was surprised how easy it actually was to switch my data from one hard drive to another.

This is a fast drive and booting up is much faster

Unless you are a scientist or heavy gamer your hard drive is typically the bottleneck, not the CPU

Can't say enough good about this blazing fast drive.

I purchased this drive to replace my hard drive on my Apple Mac mini Late 2009 computer.

Having had similar issues over the years with PCs running Windows, I decided it was time for a new hard drive

That's how long it takes now, after plugging this solid state drive in as my boot/OS drive.

Rocketek USB 3.0 & eSATA Hard Drive Disk 2.5 Inch HDD Enclosure for 9.5mm & 12.5mm 2.5" SATA HDD and SSD, Support Windows

I love the SanDisk Extreme drives

I took the back of the laptop off, carefully removed the hard drive and placed this SSD in there.

At 335 the price on amazon can't be beat currently, the drive is fast, super fast, you can get drives for cheaper but not with the 10 yr warranty, plus the size is small, and pretty featherweight

This drive doesn't have encryption support and don't think many gamers will miss it because first of all you need to be running Windows 8 and have a TPM for eDrive encryption support

Clone your existing hard drive

So, I thought a faster hard drive could assist in making the streaming faster and gave the SanDisk

He even mentioned what to Google to find all the reports of this unreliable drive, but that turned out to be unreliable information, it didn't exist

With the cost of SSD drives falling it is not hard to justify an upgrade if you are still using mechanical hard drives.

thanks to sam b that made calls and returned calls to me to apricorn and mike there stayed on phone tell cloning was done,,,, Great tech service drive is awesume ten year warranty with tech support you can rely on makes it a great drive

Great little drives - I replaced a large heavy HDD C: drive with this and my computer is much faster.

TIP for those using this as their primary hard drive: turn off unnecessary WINDOW SERVICES that read and write to an SSD.

Fast, easy to set up and hopefully the most reliable drive I'll ever need for my OS and programs.

SanDisk Extreme Pro 480GB Solid State DriveManufacturer: SanDiskAmazon price: $335.00This solid state SATA drive is a speed demon

So far so good - speedy, quiet drive

In addition to speed, a solid state drive is totally silent, no whirring disk, no mechanical delays, no moving parts at all

Good drive and got a great deal on it.

When I tried to set up ready-boost with a USB 3.0 thumb drive on Windows 7 Ultimate, I received a message stating that this hard drive is so fast, ready boost would actually slow the system down

I love this drive!!!

In the past few years manufacturers have been driven to produce hard drives that use less power and SSD's no longer have a decisive advantage, unless your machine is old

drives.+/- Memory in a SSD does wear out over time with normal usage, unlike traditional hard drives

I put the drive in my laptop and WOW!

I spent $150 maxing out the ram which helped, moved as much off the hard drive to an external as I could to free up hard drive space.

Very good hard drive.

The performance is stellar and it is the fastest drive I have used so far

very happy compared to my rapter 10,000rpm 300g hard drive

how was I supposed to know the drive was bad

I replaced the internal drive on my MacBook Pro when it died and I am very please with the speed of this SanDisk SSL drive!

It's not a bad drive, it just isn't worth the

Super fast drives.

but the hard drive has been its Achilles heel.

Only problem was removing screw of bracket holding hard drive in place

9.5 mm hard drives are still available for replacement, just not used in design

The SanDisk software also thinks the drives are fine

By far one of the fastest Hard drives I have ever used

BEST drives for the money, easy setup Great dashboard

Just copying files from my slower drive gave me, I achieved copy speeds of 240 Mbps

I'm just saying that the most noticeable and relatively cost effective upgrade (with out the need of a benchmark) was going from a Hard Drive up to a Solid State Drive

This was the fastest drive I've tested

The drive is extremely fast and reliable.

The most amazing thing about it all is the fact that SSD technology had improved to even faster drives than this one but this one is light years ahead of an old spinning Hard Drive

A modern OS does many things to improve traditional hard drive efficiency that will have no effect on an SSD, and might even use it up more quickly

Set the SSD in the laptop where the hard drive was and slide the connector in place.

I would recommend this as a boot drive for anyone

The drive performs so well that I am considering rebuilding my main PC and using this as the main system drive

MB Cache 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Drive ST3500418AS-Bare Drive onto a SSD.I have built a few

Great upgrade to traditional disc-type hard drives

Comes with nice software that makes sure you are getting the speeds you paid for and also makes sure your hard drive is healthy

This drive was very fast for about six months until it failed yesterday, wiping out Windows 7 in the process

This is SanDisk's less expensive, and faster consumer class drive and the X300s business class, with hardware encryption, was announced two months ago and is on sale now also

Now I have a fast main drive and a full TB hard-drive in the machine

But Samsung drives have never failed like this

Installation was simple and the same as a traditional hard drive

Anyway I hope this review helps you find the right drive for your needs

I think we're talking a margin of $40 or $50 for this superior-tested drive

I have put this SSD in an enclosure to use as a portable drive for the time being... and it is working fantastically

Replaced harddrive in a late 2008 Macbook Pro, after first cloning hard drive via a cable to the Scan Disk SSD

The only reason I havent ripped out my Super Drive and put one in that space as well is that my system architecture wount support it

Excellent hard drives for my new system.

Great drive, very happy with performance, been using daily as main OS drive for months without any complaints.

but I also read that the browser does access the hard drive when browsing.

I've since formatted the old Macbook hard drive, removed the mounting

If you are cloning a drive (cloning = you already have a computer with a hard drive and want to completely copy everything, including the operating system, from the old hard drive to the new SSD drive), you will need a way to connect the new SSD drive to your computer.

This drive is fast!!!

SATA SSD / Hard Drive ConverterWhy do you need this?

Or use a standard hard drive for Virtual Memory, but I prefer the first option.

Extremely fast drive, minor issue installing, but had immediate support from sandisk via chat.

Infuriating for such an expensive drive.

I use it with my Shogun video recorder for filming and then keep the files on the hard drive for editing between multiple computers.

My mechanical Hard Drive 300GB old drive died

This means these drives are NOT good for archival purposes which is too bad.

Despite all of these great things, I love how you never have to listen to a hard drive spin.

The computer worked for almost 6 years and everything is OK except the hard drive

The drive works great and is very fast, but a couple

Its fast with a small footprint compared to the standard hard drives I used to use which is true of almost all solid states

I upgraded from another SSD (I primarily upgraded to increase my hard drive capacity, not for the speed), and I could actually notice a difference in speed, which I did not expect at all.

Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connection ASW-USB3-25.Just plug the new drive into the Apricorn cable, plug the Apricorn cable into one of your USB ports, run Apricorn software (full auto works for most people).

Fast drive, ten year warranty...

I looked up how to select the external (SSD) as my startup disk for the Macbook (have the computer ignore the installed drive on start up and load the OS from the external/SSD).

Using the Sandisk Dashboard I cloned my existing drive , quite easy to do actually, and some of the initial transfers took a while but that was kind of to be expected

Very good drive for the money.

Plus as it is overpriced for the performance you receive and if you have to spend a little more and get a much better drive then you will be a lot happier that you did, but for people who aren't a techy then I would recommend you stay with a Samsung Evo or an Intel ssd as those 2 both are user

I can sit in my home office in complete silence, no longer listening to that annoying hard drive always working away--it is amazing how nice silence can be

I upgraded my 500GB HD to the SanDisk 960GB Solid State Drive in my 2009 MacBook Pro laptop.

Roughly 40% faster than my previous spinning hard drive clones

So first I cleaned up my hard drive and got rid of

After installing Windows 10 on this hard drive, I was blown away by the speed

I'm very pleased with the value and performance of this SanDisk Extreme PRO 480 GB SSD.I was a SSD early adopter and only felt that I could afford a 120 GB drive when I originally converted my Early

He then asked where to buy this amazing drive and I referred him to Amazon

But this drive itself is AWESOME

Installed it on a MacBook Pro mid 2012 and works great!Used this website to transfer out my data from my old hard drive to my new SSD

Love these drives

I've been using only for about 24 hours but here is the review: the drive is so fast that the computer feels faster than when it was new, I can even preview my 4K videos recorded from my phone and also fixed the photos app crash while trying to import a bunch of said videos

I've had some hard drives for years and years, and I think this will be an even more solid investment for a long time to come...with long-term durability in mind.

good hard drive

This is your hard drive at warp speed.

Macrium was easy to use, but it took a while to clone my hard drive onto the SSD.

I put together a 4790K system, very fast, and for the boot drive I researched SSD's and this came up as the fastest or nearly so, the overall fastest SATA drive I could buy

It's one of the fastest and most consistent drives I've ever played with, and I applaud SanDisk for putting something like this together that strikes such a good balance between read and write demands

I have no problem recommending this drive, it is top-quality all the way.

I use two of these hard drives with Inateck USB 3 external enclosure that is a tool-free design when I go on photography workshops.

and I don’t constantly hear the hard drive

I recently converted an older Windows XP system over to Linux and I could tell that my hard drive was the choke point in performance.

FANTASTIC...could never go back to a HARD DRIVE!

Windows repaired itself for boot and because I had connected the SSD to where the old hard drive had been, it was already the first in the boot sequence

If you have a problem deleting a primary partition to use the HDD in your new enclosure, with Windows use diskpart and do a search for "using diskpart to clean a drive" and maybe even the first hit will walk you right through it

I have no problem recommending this drive, it is top-quality all the way.

So, the bottom line is that this is a good drive, and if it does not melt down tomorrow i plan to keep it for a long time.

good hard drive

You will not go wrong replacing your slow hard drive.

Clean up and back up your hard drive

So first I cleaned up my hard drive and got rid of

I replaced the 1 TB spinning hard drive on my Mac Mini with the 480 GB SATA 3 SanDisk Extreme

But for the price, this is a fast drive.

Its a good solid state drive and am happy with my purchase.

Solid State Drive (SV300S37A/120G), started becoming corrupted due to some sort of fault

But for now those drives are way too expensive so i'll take the Extreme Pro for long-lasting, reliable use over the next few years

I love my solid state drive

Outstanding drive

Or use a standard hard drive for Virtual Memory, but I prefer the first option.

Extremely fast drive, minor issue installing, but had immediate support from sandisk via chat.

Nice drive

I removed the old hard drive, but will save it

That's full boot to functional desktop in 20 seconds including typing two passwords, every time, spot on!I cannot recommend SanDisk drives and memory enough.

I cannot recommend these drives

Otherwise, outstanding drive.

Works well and is much faster than hard drive.

Excellent hard drives for my new system.

Died after 2 years of normal usage as a slave drive

For me, I took out the dvd tray, slapped in a hard drive caddy with this ssd, then used MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 9.1.

One of the fastest drives on the market.

I chose not to use the free software offer included with the SSD to clone my plextor SSD hard drive to this new one

This SanDisk Extreme II internal solid-state drive is great

The drive is good and fast

Came with 1TB 5400rpm Hard Drive.

Now I have a fast main drive and a full TB hard-drive in the machine

I've had numerous solid state drives, including Intel SSD520, Intel SSD530, OCZ, ADATA, Samsung, Crucial.

It also makes a great laptop/notebook drive, or to stick into an external USB drive case since their are no moving parts - much more drop resistant, requires less power, and generates less heat than a drive with a spinning platter.

Love my new SSD drive it's supa fast!

Impressive I/O speeds!

After several tedious e-mail exchanges they said I could return it, which I did 6 months ago
