500Gb Or 1Tb Solid State Drive

I recently got a SanDisk 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive) and used a drive cloning device to clone my old 1TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to the new SSD. It works wonders in my 15 year old computer! It really speeds up drive-related activities, perhaps as much as 3 or 4 times faster. I think my old HP laptop computer is either a SATA or SATA II type, so I suspect those with a SATA III system would see even better speed results when going from a HDD to a SSD. Gotta love it!

Solid state drive worth it.

Replaced my 500GB Samsung 970 Pro with this 1TB Samsung 980 Pro. Using Samsung's Magician software, I was able to quickly and easily clone my C: drive (boot drive) without any issue whatsoever. I have been using Samsung M.2 drives for many years. Just an all around excellent product and installion process. I highly recommend.

WD is the only drive I'll use I got a 500GB, 1TB, 2TB and now a 5TB. I got all kinds of internal drives and my oldest I have 3 80GB ...one still unopen.

For several years I have been using the small Samsung USB-C external drives (almost credit-card sized) -- I used two 500GB and one 1TB drives along with Carbon Copy Cloner and my MacBook Air. That worked well (although the 1TB became corrupted and unusable about 3 months ago) and I would especially back up the drive before any flight and separate the drive from my laptop at TSA. I just upgraded to a (wonderful!) MacBook Pro 14 and attempted a Migration Assistant transfer from the Air using a fresh Samsung backup. I let it run for about 8 hours and it never got past the first Looking for applications and documents... stage. To cut to the chase: I thus ordered this 500GB LaCie drive and did a fresh CCC backup from the MB Air. It took 7 minutes to backup 400GB of data! Using the Samsung with USB-C it would take 13 mins for ~22GB. (See screenshot of CCC logs.) I hooked the LaCie up to the MB Pro and started Migration Assistant. The whole process took ~15 minutes. Previously it would take hours. Sorry for rambling on. TLDR; A wicked fast external drive worth every penny. And Thunderbolt makes a huge difference!

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

I used this drive to clone a laptop hard drive to a solid state drive. Worked well.

This is an extremely reliable and easy to use Solid State Drive. Once initialized it's easy to clone form a Hard Disk Drive to this unit. Take out the old drive, insert this drive, and put your seat belt on.

Cost effective cable for migrating my old hard drive to new solid state drive.

Solid reliable SSD drive. �I use it to replace an older and smaller, 500GB, Crucial M500 SSD drive. �This 850 Pro drive is much faster to boot and run programs.
