Mike in PDX 5/23/2013 4:13:52 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Still going strong after 6 months Pros: I am running this as my desktop boot drive in an Intel i7 system. Have never had a bit of trouble with it. Never had to update the firmware. You already know how fast SSDs are so I won't try to impress you with that. :) Cons: none, I can't even complain about price since I got it at a ridiculously low price during the Newegg Black Friday sale last Fall. Other Thoughts: Windows 7 Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 Waiting for prices on 512 GB SSDs to come down so I can use one as my data drive. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/16/2013 7:11:42 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Great until it died Pros: Made my laptop performed much better--boot time was very impressive; Linux boots virtually instantly and Windows very fast. Cons: Part of it went bad after 8 months of use. Every time I try to access part of the drive in my Windows partition, my laptop fails. I cannot even open a partition editor without triggering a freeze. Scans on the SSD do the same - HDD Regenerator freezes as soon as it finds the first bad sector. Other Thoughts: The part of the drive running Linux is still functional, but I can't expand that section since I can't use a partition editor of any kind. Did you find this review helpful?

grbf1 5/15/2013 9:34:01 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5UPDATE REVIEW FROM 7/26/12 Pros: Excellent speed when paired with the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH motherboard. Never had a problem after the latest firmware update. So fast that I bought another one today for $159.00 with the daily Supersonic Supers Saver deals. Cons: Last 1 egg review was before the crucial firmware update which has solved all speed negotiated problems when paired with a mid 2010 MacBook Pro. Other Thoughts: Please make sure to monitor Newegg's Promotional deals for maximum savings. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
DUB 5/9/2013 6:30:10 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Sandisk Extreme Pros: Decent speed Cons: none so far Other Thoughts: Works as advertised. Definitely noticing a difference from HDD 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/2/2013 4:40:18 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5It's like if I changed my laptop. Pros: Perfectly fits in my Thinkpad T61 bought in 2008. Works great with a SATA I interface. Cons: nope Other Thoughts: I changed my genuine hard drive using Windows 7 with this SanDisk SSD 240 GB using Windows 8. I am very surprised how this SSD speeds up my Thinkpad T61 even if this computer has only a SATA I interface. The Windows hard drive index climbed to 7.2. I think I am still good for 5 more years equipped like this. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Laszlo 3/21/2013 4:43:30 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Incredible speed--I'm blown away Pros: I've got SSDs in my desktop computers, but I was waiting on upgrading my laptop until prices for larger SSDs came down. Even coming from SATA2 SSDs (which should give you ~85% of the speed gains compared to this), this drive impressed me. It flew through the Windows reinstall and updates. When installing downloaded games it felt like every time I clicked "Next" my machine was ready again before my finger came back up. With an i5 CPU it gets the highest 7.9 rating in Windows Experience Index, and I can feel it. Cons: This drive is 9mm, so just barely fit in my laptop drive bay (and the side screws didn't line up because of the height, but it's securely enough in place just from the SATA connectors). If you're upgrading a newer laptop or ultrabook, look for a 7mm height drive. I also had to update the firmware on this, but it was very quick and easy using the SanDisk utility. A huge con for previous buyers was the extremely long wait for SanDisk to release firmware bug fixes. That's no longer an issue with this drive as it was eventually fixed, but it would make me wary of getting a newly released SanDisk SSD. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Dr. K 3/19/2013 6:45:09 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5240G Drive, SSD Pros: This SSD drive is a very good buy. It has speeded up my laptop, core I5, with 16 gig ram very well. Not only applications, but internet as well. Cloned the old drive without problem, installed, and everything was faster then before. I also noticed that my laptop runs cooler now. The extension in life is work the price, besides the increase in speed. Cons: If I find any, I'll post. First 240 Gig SSD at $100 will sell like hot cakes. I paid $169 and it was worth it. Other Thoughts: Watch Newegg specials, I'm sure they will run this for a lower price. Glad I bought now though. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
