Review: SDD works great. Easy to setup as a Windows OS C: Boot disk. - My wife's HDD on her 16 month old Dell 8930 Desktop had been playing up. I already had to re-install windows 10 around a month ago. It was ok for a while, but started getting crashes again over the last few days. I decided to replace the single HDD with a Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB, to be used as the boot disk, and a separate 2TB HDD for Data. The current C-drive was only using around 60GB for Windows 10 and other installed program, so 240GB was more than enough, and its really good price. The Sandisk product comes with an unreadable 2-point 10 x 3cm booklet, don't know what’s in it, I can't read it. However, the Sandisk website is fairly useful. Note 1, the Dell has removable drive bay cradles which can accommodate either a HDD or SDD drive, but many Desktops won’t have that so you may need to also buy a "2.5 to 3.5 inch SDD cradle", some screws to secure the SDD and cradle, a SATA Data cable (most Desktops will come with extra power cables, but check first). I think you can get kits which include all that for about £5. Note 2, when you receive your SDD drive, make a note of the serial number, it’s on the back of the drive you need it to register the product on the Sandisk Website fro 3 year guarantee. If you don’t take a note of it before you install the SDD, you’ll have to uninstall and re-install it all over again. Installation is easy, just install a cradle, screw the SDD to it, connect your SATA Data Cable and power cable. My SDD was to be used as a bootable drive, to hold windows and all installed programs. The easiest way to do that is to use Acronis True Image Software, and clone your existing drive (which is free if using a Sandisk or WD drive, link to Acronis from the Sandisk website). My existing drive was 1TB, but with only around 450GB used. 320GB of that was photos, the SDD is 240GB. So I backed up all the data on the existing C Drive to an external portable 2TB HDD, then removed all the photos from the existing C drive, reducing its size down to about 130GB, which meant it would easily fit on the 240GB SDD. In Windows 10 use the Disk Management program (best to access that via Computer Management App, (run as administrator eg Left click)) to first initialise you SDD, so that the computer will recognise it. Just set it up as a “ Simple” partition, use full size, doesn’t matter what Drive number you assign, but don’t use A, B, or G (Windows will automatically reassign the Boot Disk(SDD) as the C: drive when you restart the PC.) When the SDD is recognised you will see the empty SDD in File Explorer. Run Acronis, select the clone tool, choose automatic mode which will clone all partitions. The amount of data on the source disk must be less than the available space on the destination SDD. I have 5 partitions on my old HDD C: drive, 3 recovery and 1 x EFI. These are replicated exactly by Acronis, the remaining C: partition holding the Boot, and OS and Data is automatically shrunk down into the remaining space on the SDD, about 207GB, so no problem creating 240GB SDD from a 1TB HDD. Follow the instructions, restart the computer, and Acronis will take over and clone. When cloning is complete, PC will shut down. What I did then is unplug the Data cable from the old HDD, and swapped it over to connect to the SDD, that way you don’t have to amend the Boot order in the BIOS, if you don’t do that you have to amend the BIOS. The SDD worked a treat, much faster startup, shutdown and program load and has fixed my crash issues. I could then bin the old HDD and replace it with a new 2TB HDD D:Data drive, and onto that, re-import the photo data from my external backup drive.
Review: Great SSD, achieving more speed and quieter running - I purchased an entry level notebook Acer Aspire 14 ES1-431 and wanted to see if I could transform it by swapping out the 500GB mechanical hard-drive for the SanDisk Plus 240GB SSD. I was rather wary of the lowish storage (240GB) of the SSD. So before I made the move I downloaded all the latest updates from Microsoft. I was rather taken aback by the huge update for Windows Home v1607. Not only did this take hours to finish but it increased the storage on my hard-drive by 20GB! By utilising the Windows System Cleaner I managed to delete the cause of the extra storage which was the Windows.Old folder which housed the previous Windows version in case one wanted to revert. So having got the storage down to 44GB which included Windows 10 Home, Microsoft Office Plus 2016 and Adobe Acrobat, I set about defragmenting the old drive before cloning the contents to the SanDisk SSD using a USB 3 to Sata adapter (Sabrent) and the free Macrium Reflect software. All went well and I took the opportunity to divide the SSD into separate partitions for the operating system and my data files. I found that there was 222GB storage available on the SSD so I allocated 80GB to the operating system and 142GB to the data files. Once the SSD was successfully cloned (2 hours) and installed, I directed my Desktop, Documents, Videos, Music, Pictures and OneDrive folders to the data partition (E), trying to stop using up the storage on the operating system partition (C). The SanDisk SSD was the same size as the original hard-drive and the screw holes were in similar places, so it was an easy replacement fit. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the notebook took one-third the time to boot to the Desktop screen from pressing the power button. So the new SanDisk SSD did the trick and now I have quieter, faster and cooler running notebook. The modification was worthwhile and great fun!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Mlc or tlc? thanks**
A: The old models (those with MLC), the "G25" in its name and the new TLC-based devices instead called "G26".
https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/topic/214469-sandisk-ssd-plus-120gb240gb-models-with-the-model-number-ending-in-g26-have-different-nand-flash-quick-rant

**Q: Does it come with the required sata cable.**
A: I have MANY SSD's in MANY older laptops and in MANY 2.5" USB drive cases, and have never had to worry about a SATA cable.  For laptops and such USB cases, you just slide the drive as is, into the SATA interface pins -- it only will go one way, and you're done. 

If you're going to install this 2.5" form factor drive into a desktop or tower machine, you should get a kit to do so.  It should come with proper adapters and the needed SATA cable for THAT specific application. 

I have never, ever, seen such a drive come with a SATA cable, as in the vast majority of cases, it simply isn't needed. 

My laptops span the 2008 to 2014 manufactured date range.

**Q: Is this compatible and does it fit a late 2011 macbook pro to replace the sata disk hard drive?**
A: Yes. The "Unibody" MacBook Pro models are compatible with a 2.5-inch (notebook) SATA drive at as much as 9.5mm thick. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-unibody-faq/macbook-pro-13-15-17-mid-2009-how-to-upgrade-hard-drive-ssd.html This Sandisk SSD is the 7mm form factor, however, I don't think it's significant because Apple uses the screw heads to hold the drive in place. You can view the installation (instructions) for free at OWC https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/ -- the "Early 2011" revision is identical in procedure to your "Late 2011"

**Q: Clone software available or not?  desc "ssd dashboard and cloning software download (4) " would like to clone my c drive to it.**
A: The Acronis WD Edition (a special  eidtioin of Acronis Backup) did not work for me as it did not see the SanDisk drive on the USB dongle. I ended up using the full version of EaseUS Todo Backup but the free version of it would do the job as well.  Both are Windows solutions but with Todo Backup you should be able to create the bootable CD/DVD on a WIndows machine then use it on anything else that will let you boot. Clonezilla is a Linux based solution that I've also used before but it's not as intuitive. You burn an ISO image to a CD/DVD or a USB stick (different version for the latter) and boot to it and follow the instructions. 

You create a bootable CD or DVD with Todo Backup after the Windows installation and boot to it (you may need to change your boot options in BIOS to be able to do that) with the SanDisk plugged into the USB. Choose the source drives (there's a small partition ahead of the drive C partition that you need to check), and any other partitions you created, then continue and choose the destination drive, the SanDisk. Choose "optimize for SSD" and then proceed and wait a long time (a few hours). The remaining time left indicator, like it is with many of these backup programs, will tel yo there's only 5 or 10 minutes left in the copy operation when it will take a few hours. I left mine go overnight and it was finished in the morning but in my experience, it would have taken only a few hours (I just didn't check until morning). 

You can continue to use the Todo Backup CD/DVD you created to back up your PC/laptop to an external hard drive for regular backup. The full (paid) version allows you to restore incremental backups so I feel it's worth the money, but if you always only make a full backup, the free one will do nothing more for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SDD works great. Easy to setup as a Windows OS C: Boot disk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb upgrade
*by B***N on 9 April 2020*

Excellent upgrade for an ageing machine. I used to build PCs as a casual gamer years ago and hadn't heard much about SSD hard drives before. I have installed RAM, changed CPUs, power supplies, graphics cards etc before but this has been the most noticeable boost in performance out of all of them. Boot up times significantly faster as is normal running tasks. The data transfer speed greatly surpass the old HDDs. I had been prompted to change my hard drive simply because I noticed some bad sectors on my traditional 500gb HDD, using CrystalDisk software and therefore indicating it potentially failing. I decided to do a little bit of research and it was commonly suggested an SSD as a reasonably cheap upgrade. This particular one is a SATA connection and was a straight swap for an existing spare hard drive (obviously make sure you have spare power supply too!). Easy to install, and a simple piece of software to clone your operating system is all that required. Then adjust boot order in your BIOS to the new SSD, voila! It obviously gets quite pricey with SSDs for lots of memory. For me as I don't do an awful lot of gaming etc anymore I didn't require lots of space other than what was needed for the OS and have spare HDDs for photos and documents etc. In summary, a fantastic upgrade without breaking the bank, especially for a PC that isn't used all that often anymore. Would recommend
