SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive

I received this 240GB SSD in yesterday's mail on the 1st day of the 4-day promised delivery range. I was able to clone my C: harddrive to the SSD using the "HDClone 4" software (free version) that I have used for several years to backup the harddrive. It was as simple as cloning another harddrive, in fact, the SSD appeared just like another harddrive -- no change to anything (it plugs-in the same as any IDE harddrive). After a simple swap with my laptop's harddrive, it booted the 1st time into Windows XP with no glitches.My system is a 2007-vintage Toshiba A105-S4384 laptop, Windows® XP Pro Media Center Edition (SP3), Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5500 (1.66GHz, 667MHz FSB), 4GB DDR2, 160GB 7200rpm SATA Revision 2 harddrive,The SSD drive performs admirably. I've tested several different application's load times as well as cold boots into Windows. Results are consistently 50% to even 40% of the time taken by the replaced 7200rpm harddrive. With SATA Rev. 2 support, you should not expect the blazing speeds advertised -- they are based on an SATA Rev. 3 system (the SanDisk website explains this). Nevertheless, this SSD drive kicked my system into high gear -- it is much faster than it ever was.I was not able to download the "SanDisk SSD Dashboard" software, as Windows XP is not supported (Vista and forward are supported). Apparently, Dashboard is required to download firmware, so I wasn't able to do that. It may not be beneficial anyway, as XP is so old.The SSD drive itself is smaller than a standard 2 1/2" harddrive, and is almost weightless. It generates almost no heat.For the price ($67), this is a very good deal. It's an excellent product, and if you have SATA Revision 3 (see the BIOS), this will be a blazing fast drive with no risk of a head crash, and no need for defragmentation.

I bought this to add storage space to my Nvidia Shield. It was super easy to install and works just fine. I have had zero issues with it. The transfer speeds are as expected. I would definitely recommend this drive for someone looking to add storage space. I don't use it in a gaming application so I cannot attest to its performance when really being stressed.

I actually bought this for a 2011 iMac that I have. It was very nice and thin which made it easy to slide into place without me taking out the entire screen. It works well with macOS even with the older os (Sierra) and its 2tb size.
