SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 4TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6 GB/S, 2.5"/7mm, Up to 560 MB/S - SDSSDH3-4T00-G25, Solid State Hard Drive

Worked great in my Levana laptop, good value

Buen diseño y desempeño.

Nothing wrong with the other drive, I will move it to another computer. The SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 1TB seems to be a bit faster and I like the 5 year warranty vs. the 3 year. Also the Samsung 980 (or other drives of that type) will not work in a SATA-3 application, hence the SanDisk Ultra 3D is about the fastest available for the SATA-3.I used a cloning docking station to clone the original drive, then as the drive is much smaller than the original in my HP700 Envy I purchased the Corsair Dual SSD Mounting Bracket 3.5" CSSD-BRKT2 from Amazon. It slid exactly into place of the original drive. I plugged in the SATA III cable and power cable connected the power and started the computer.The difference is that everything started up much faster than the original HDD. The SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III is much faster than my old disk drive. How fast? I don't exactly know, but the difference is very significant and well worth the upgrade.Aside from cloning the drive, start to finish took me probably 10 minutes, and I was taking my time. The SanDisk SSD Dashboard software seemed to crash the drive with my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, so I had to re-clone without installing the SanDisk SSD Dashboard...works just fine now with the Windows 7.As Western Digital has owned Sandisk since 2019, and the specs are the same and according to their website, one design and two products: targeted to the customer bases that appeal to each brand name. Thus the Western Digital 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND and the Sandisk Ultra Label, same product different label...also the price is the same on Amazon, so take your pick!If I have any problems with the new SSD, I will update this as needed. For now I am very pleased with the drive.

I have purchased 2 of the SanDisk 4 TB SSDs. I copy large amounts of data & pictures. I also added over 1 TB in Music. I move the SSD's between my 4 towers. 3 computers have external docking stations & I also connect the SSDs using a USB connecting cable. Flawless. I've been using SSDs since 2012 & they are reliable unlike Hard Disk Drives.

Firstly, I want to go ahead and state the following:While everyone moves to M.2 and PCI-E based NVME storage, I still recommend SATA based SSDs as the best bang for your buck. If you look at synthetic or simulated test scores from software like crystal disk mark, you may be easily swayed to pay the premium for NVME, however, real world usages still shows that SATA SSDs are still very close in terms of game / application loading speeds. Yes, the NVME is faster, there is no denying it, but at this juncture if you are looking to keep costs low, you can feel confident in still buying a standard SSD.With that out of the way, I particularly want to state that I have had really good luck with Sandisk drives, with zero failures to date. This 2TB drive is still fresh so I can't comment on its longevity, but it booted fine and is not showing signs of early failure. To be perfectly honest, you can likely even go for the lower tier variant and not notice any real world difference in performance, but I chose the extreme because the price difference is small and when I build for someone else I tend toward slightly more premium options.

I purchased three of these to upgrade two Dell Laptops and a Dell desktop. The drive do not come with any cloning software. The small enclosed card does lead you to the Sandisk/Western Digital website. Poking around leads you to installation instructions and an example of using EZ GIG IV cloning software. I tried to use it on all three system upgrades. Each time it would not properly recognize the SanDisk SSD connected via a generic SATA to USB cable. The cloning software would display the SSD as a destination drive, you can select it but when you try to start the cloning you get an error saying the drive isn't connected. For my Dell desktop I ended up using the Acronis cloning software available from Western Digital for free. I hooked the SSD up to an unused SATA cable inside the desktop to do the cloning. When done just remove the old hard drive and install the new SSD in place of the old hard drive and reboot.The laptops were a different story. Turns out the Acronis cloning software will only work if you have a WD or Sandisk drive as the source boot drive for the cloning. They wanted a $30 software upgrade per system to buy version that would work with non-WD/SanDisk drives. Instead of that I used a free version of TODO cloning software. You will need to Google for it. I can't post the link per Amazon rules.The cloning process takes a long time if your drive has ~300 GB of usage. Mine took about 6-7 hours for the cloning process. The second laptop took about 1 hour to clone. It had about 50 GB of data one it. Once the laptop drives were cloned it was just a matter of removing the old hard drives and installing the new SSD drives. The Dell 1564 was easy to swap in the drive. The second laptop a Dell 1570 was a nightmare to do the swap. It entails taking a lot of the laptop apart to get to the hard drive. Not a task for the timid. Downloaded the service manual for the 1570 which details all the disassembly steps. You will need to Google for it. I can't post the link per Amazon rules.All three of the systems run amazingly faster now.
