SanDiskSSD PLUS 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm, Up to 535 MB/s - SDSSDA-1T00-G27

I put this in my old HP Pavilion dv7 and it is like a new computer. Boots fast, no long delays when I have a bunch of Chrome tabs open. It works great.I used an old version of Casper that I had on the computer to copy the system disk to this one (the computer has 2 drive slots). After reading a review that a person had problems, I already had 2 HDD's so I copied the system disk to the other disk for backup. Then installed the SSD in the second slot and copied the system disk to that one. Worked like a charm.It works so well I do not need to buy a new computer. $63 instead of $600.

Great value and tons of space. Easy to install.If using for Operation Systems, be sure to locate a guide on how to change SSD to a bootable drive. Can be complex for some.My computer now boots up in seconds.

They don't include any software to do the disc mirroring, nor any instructions, but there are free utilities to do it, and plenty of YouTube advise. Many of the links from SanDisc were dead, some others linked to Coralware (I think that was the company). Seems there is some corporate buy out stuff going on. Anyway, after some short research, I was easily able to transfer the data from my old, smaller SSD drive to this one in no time. And after a few months of operation, no issues have appeared.

This drive was purchased to upgrade my older HP 8300 desktop. The drive was simple to install into the case and made a many fold difference in performance. The price point was also very competitive for a 1TB drive. Would recommend this SSD to anyone who wants to upgrade an older PC.

Swapping out my old hard drive for the SanDisk SSD PLUS 1TB was like giving my computer a shot of adrenaline. This thing is blazing fast! Boot-up times went from minutes to mere seconds, and programs now load almost instantly. Seriously, it’s like my laptop had a complete personality makeover.The 1TB capacity is a dream for someone like me who juggles tons of files—photos, videos, and hefty programs. It’s more than enough space to keep everything organized without running into those dreaded “disk full” warnings.Installation was a breeze. Whether you’re tech-savvy or a total newbie, you’ll find it straightforward to pop this in. And it’s so quiet—no spinning or humming like the old hard drives.Performance-wise, the advertised speeds of up to 535 MB/s hold up. Transfers are lightning-fast, even with larger files. It’s made multitasking a joy again instead of a chore.If you’re on the fence about upgrading your system, don’t wait. This SSD is a cost-effective way to breathe new life into an aging computer or give a newer one an edge. Highly recommend for anyone who values speed, space, and reliability.

On time works as expected

SanDisk SSD PLUS 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5 inThis SSD worked as hoped right from the box. First I copied a single 375 GB file to it from a rotating disk, writing at about 240-250 MB/s (according to Microsoft) the whole way, no throttling down for overheating. Then it was installed permanently in the desktop computer and the side cover closed. Using a test script, RoboCopy copied a single 57.8 GB encrypted file 5 times in immediate succession from a RAM drive to the SSD in an average of 190.2 seconds, for an average speed of 304 MB/s. We're talking real MB here BTW, not some dopey Microsoft MiB labeled as MB.Then when the /J RoboCopy option (no buffering) was used the speed dropped to about 250 MB/s, which is about what the computer gets from modern SATA or USB-connected rotating drives. Not great, but much better than the ancient 5400 RPM drive that it replaced.The computer was built here a little over 3 years ago, with an AMD 5950x CPU in an ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero mobo. It has 128 GB of fast memory, half of which is allocated to the RAM drive. The new SSD was (and still is) connected to a standard SATA port on that mobo and mounted in one of the computer's drive slots with a 2.5-in to 3.5-in adapter. No special cooling was used.Two days earlier I had received a Silicon Power "SP 1TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive." Installed in the same way, and using the same practical tests, that drive initially seemed to perform well. However it soon started throttling down during a big transfer from RAM, from about 440 MB/s to 30 MB/s. This was unacceptably slow, and didn't improve when I attempted to cool the drive. It was initially faster than the SanDisk, but the heat-management algorithm was way out of whack. That drive is already packaged up for return. Too bad - I've had other experiences with SP that were quite good.

Hands down these are the versatile in any pc.No matter on the chipset, hardware etc.I have used 100's of these not a single one has not worked ever.How ever I can't say the same on some crucial, or Samsung. I have had about a handful of each be dead out of the box, or had some compatibility issue like them not liking the chipset etc.So long as the pc you are putting them in has a sata connection it will work.On some desktop PCs you may need a 3.5" to 2.5" tray. But the tray's only cost about 7-10$.If the hard drive you are replacing is an standard spinning HD you will notice about 25 to 35% increase in speed.You can also get a HD duplicator to copy over your old HD to a new HD SSD. The boxes are like 40-50$ and most duplicator boxes can also he used as a backup by connecting the usb cable.SSD run much faster, cooler
