256 Vs 512 Ssd For Apple Computers

This 512 Gb SSD is a replacement for a 256 Gb SSD. A cloning process went well and everything works fine.

It's an Apple computer, & as such, no surprises if you're familiar with the brand. Biggest difficulty is determining what level of Macbook Pro to get, as it's pretty impossible to upgrade later. I went with 36 gb of ram and 512 gb ssd. The ram was necessary for photo editing, and although the ssd is small, it's large enough to hold all the programs, and storing photos on external drives is necessary if you're taking a lot of photos. An external 2 TB ssd is less than the cost of upgrading the Apple ssd from 512 G to 1 TB. Get a firewire or usb 3 ssd and you won't notice any lag in loading. The price from B&H was better than ordering direct from Apple, Amazon, Best Buy (yeah, they've got a local store, so I checked) or any other legitimate online store. Order was delivered on time and in excellent condition. Anyway, I upgraded from a 2017 Intel iMac desktop. This is significantly faster. I haven't done any movie editing yet, so can't speak to that, but it runs Luminar Neo, ACDee, Topaz Photo AI, and the Affinity photo applications well. Get a good hub that uses minimum usb 3 and you'll need a good external monitor, as 14 is too small for serious photo editing. Hope this info helps.

High quality and fast.  Not too expensive. I own several of these 512 GB cards and several of the 256 GB ones. They work great. I've accidentally put 3 of them through the laundry, and they still work find. Don't try that at home, though!

Mounted Samsunmg 840 pro 256 GB SSD... Precise fit... Socket saves wear & tear on fragile ssd.... Mount to ssd screws could be 1/8 longer... Very Pleased !

SSD is clearly the way to go for speeding up your old systems. This transcend 256 GB goes a long way to do that.

I plan to use this on my other computers when I upgrade to SSD.

SanDisk 256 Ultra Fit USB 3.1 is a must have for the serious computer user. With some computers this flash drive offers more space than the standard drive. When travelling without your computer, carry this drive with all your files. Using this, you will never leave without it. I certainly do not.

plug and play. no issues using this with apple computers.

This hard drive replaced my 256 GB SSD, of the same make but an older drive. Boot times on the computer are about 4 seconds on, 4 seconds off, so fast my work computer (that also has an SSD) doesn't even get to the Bitlocker password before this one is fully on. 2 TB of storage is a great amount for photo storage (heavy camera user here) and light gaming, couldn't be happier with this drive!

Used a USB cartrdidge and Macrium Reflect to clone my 256 SSD to this. Easy peasy. Hardest part of the entire project was getting that tiny screw holding the chip drive back in .... :)
