SanDisk Ultra II SSD, 960GB

I have an Alienware 17 laptop with an Intel Core i7 chipset that was running RAID with two 750GB hard disk drives (HDD). I replaced them with a 1TB (960GB) SanDisk solid state drive (SSD) and the results were awesome. I put one of the 750GB HDD's in as extra storage even though running Windows 10 and all my Steam games from the SSD still left me tons of space. I'm impressed with the speed, and for the price ($244.99 at the time I purchased it) this was a great deal. Whether you are building a new PC or updating an older model, this SSD will make a huge difference in boot times, data transfers, and loading games. I reinstalled Windows 10, downloaded all my drivers, synced over 30GB of data from Google Drive, and downloaded over a dozen Steam games in a matter of a few hours. Easy switch, but keep in mind if you're also running RAID with two HDD's you should remove them both before installing Windows. Even after deleting RAID from the BIOS, I left one of the 750GB HDD's in and Windows, for some reason, felt the need to try and boot data from the half-written HDD. Take them both out and place only the SSD in, load your operating system (Windows, etc.), and THEN add whatever other storage you want later. The beauty of this product lies in both its inherent capabilities and its pricing. Buy the 960GB (1TB) SanDisk, and you won't need much else in the way of storage until your gaming library bulges at the seams.

I LOVE IT! This purchase and install alone made my MacBook 17" laptop computer a modern new computer. I never really knew how much a standard Hard Drive slowed down a computer. I was constantly waiting on my MacBook Pro 17" computer to get things done and it seemed to have such a bad delay on doing anything. Waiting was my constant companion with this computer to the point that I often thought about replacing it with a Windows 10 computer or purchasing a newer MacBook in hopes that it would be faster. I chose to purchase this Sandisk Ultra because it was on sale at a huge discount for the size drive it was. I wondered if it would work on my 17" MacBook Pro but everything I read said it would. I did the install and performed a clone using Carbon Copy (paid edition) and then substituted the drive for the one in the MacBook Pro. I was very concerned that the switch wouldn't work or that something would be wrong but everything booted up and because of the exact Carbon Copy Clone my computer never knew there was a new Hard Drive installed. AS for speed .... W O W! Even though I had already been pre-warned by Apple and Sandisk that due to transfer speeds and that this drive's interface could be faster that I should notice some improvement. The improvement I noticed was that the computer seemed not only faster but extremely faster. I can honestly say that at times it appears that my computer is not only four times faster but even exponentially faster as some things. On one application that I knew was slow, using my old Hard Drive, I compared it to the boot up and "ready time" using the new SSD drive. With the old 1 TB Hard Drive 7200 RPM my photography editing application was ready to edit the image brought up with it in 15 seconds. With the new SanDisk SSD Drive (the only change I made) the same application (remember I carbon coped/cloned it from drive to drive so it was the exact same application) loaded and was ready for editing and use in 3 seconds time. I went from 15 seconds to 3 seconds with just the change of the drive. That was fantastic and the same type results were found across the board. I have a new MacBook computer and there is no way I'm ever selling my 17" MacBook pro which is ever bit as fast as any of the newer MacBooks and/or Windows 10 Machines with their Solid State Drives. The install was an easy job with little difficulty and I was able to have it completed within 25 minutes time. I HOPE that the stability and the endurance of this Solid State drive will be great as well and that it will hold up a long time but I can only report on what I know to this point and that is that I have a new computer and an extremely fast one, thanks to the sole change out of the Hard Drive from old style 7200 RPM model to Solid State SanDisk drive.

Works Great! Ordered it to replace standard Hard Drives in my Dell computer. There is a visible difference in speed and performance of my Win7 computer now. Would definitely recommend for those considering it for an upgrade. Go ahead and treat yourself for it is well worth it. Oh, don't forget, you will need to order a 2.5" to 3.5" "adapter tray" for proper mounting in the bay of your computer. Roughly another $4.00 - $6.00 expense for the one you choose. I chose the cheap $4.00 metal one by ExtremeMod. UPDATE on 27 Feb 2017: I have taken the original hard drive I ordered 2 years ago and converted into a backup/data drive. I ordered two new ones and placed them in a new computer build using ASUS MAXIMUS IX FORMULA LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 Z270 ATX Motherboard as my new system board. I've configured the drives into RAID 0 configuration, and boy is it lightening fast. Is putting two SSD's in RAID 0 configuration worth it? I'd say it is! My new build is running great! Have not benched the drives yet, but I will.

最近、起動や処理速度が重い感じがするノートパソコンのＨＤＤをＳＳＤに載せ替える為に 購入しました。載せ替え完了後、起動に１分余りかかっていたのが１５秒程で起動。 満足です。パナソニック、レッツノート ＣＰＵi５

I used this 960gb SSD to replace the dead slow 5400rpm 320gb hard drive that was in my old macbook. The difference in boot times were mind blowing! This tripled my mac's storage capacity and made it feel new again. I have had no problems with this drive so far and I would recommend this to someone looking to take the leap into SSD storage. If you buying this product to replace your hard drive and are new to computer upgrades, save yourself some hassle and pick up a usb 3 to SSD/hard drive adapter while you're at it. You will use that usb dongle to transfer all your old files from your hard drive onto your SSD. After that, you can load and test your new operating system on the SSD without having to take apart your old machine multiple times! This will make your swap out quick and pain free when you do actually get in there and open up your computer :)

Woaaa!!!! Its a Beast!!!!! Must get it!! On papers it shows differences as compared to the Samsung Evo 850, but in real world performances it doesn't make any difference. Its super fast!! An SSD is a an SSD afterall.

Verwendung: Beide SSDs dienen mir grösstenteils als reine Leselaufwerke (Games). Ich wollte schon länger meine 2 Velociraptor LW 600gb/1tb gegen SSD tauschen jedoch war mir der Preis für SSDs um 1TB bis jetzt zu hoch. Wollte eigentlich eher die Crucial M550 kaufen wenn der Preis gefallen wäre. Nun gab es zufällig ein interessantes Angebot von sandisk also informiert und 2x gekauft. > Tests gibt es wohl nur zu den 240 und 480 gb Modellen. Wichtig SSD ist unformatiert muss nach anschliessen erst formatiert werden. Kapazität Brutto 960gb = formatiert 894gb netto. Neutral 0 Zumindest nach Crystaldiskmark Lese und schreibeinbruch bei voller SSD (97% gefüllt) andere modelle dürften jedoch die gleichen einbrüche haben. 0 SanDisk SSD Dashboard lässt sich bei mir nicht installieren (W7 x64 Sp1) >Support versucht das problem nachzuvollziehen mal sehn ob es ne lösung gibt Für mich eher uninteressant solange kein wichtiges firmwareupdate aufgespielt werden musss. (fixed active scripting musste im ie aktiviert werden damit der installer läuft ....muss das sein ? ) Positives + leise (wusste garnicht wie laut meine Velociraptor waren) + spürbare Performaceverbesserung sowohl beim laden von Spielen als auch beim streamen sehr deutlich bei Skyrim (+HQ Texturmods) wahrzunehmen. Watchdogs gameperformance immernoch mies was zuerwarten war jedoch keine dauernden nachladeruckler bei schneller fahrt. > Spiel auf voller SSD (97% gefüllt). + Support Telefonisch zu erreichen mit dem willen zur problemlösung. Insgesammt sehr zufrieden mit dem kauf. earlyadopter bugs / haltbarkeit ... nunja mal sehen.
