Review: An easy-to-install SSD drive that performs well -- at a great price - 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.
Review: Great Drive for the Price - I’ve had this drive for over a year now, and it’s still running like a champ! I used it to upgrade an old laptop that I turned into a game server for several different games, and the performance boost was night and day. The setup was super simple — I used free cloning software with an external drive reader, swapped it in, and it worked perfectly on the first try. If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable drive that delivers long-term performance, this one’s an excellent choice.

## 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.

I added this SSD to my mini PC and compatibility was perfect. Install was easy. It fit in the chassis perfectly and connectivity was instant. It performed flawlessly and with remarkable speed. Nothing special about its looks other than it appears solid. Recommended.
