Inspiron 15 5000 Solid State Drive

Solid state drive worth it.

This is my first MACBook. It is expensive and can not be upgraded after purchase - two big bummers. But it works flawlessly and has all the speed I was hoping for. I use it to create giant panoramas in Photoshop, starting with as many as 15 exposures. What took as much as 15 minutes to process now takes a few seconds. I have a lot of PSB files, gigantic. They save in less than a minute rather than 20. At home, I operate it clam shell style. I had no problem hooking the MACBook up to larger, calibrated screens, though I had to buy a boatload of converters. One way I could have saved money would have been to have purchased a much smaller solid state drive; maybe one TB. No solid state drive is big enough to hold all my photos. So, purchasing a conventional, inexpensive peripheral drive was necessary anyway. A harddrive that is configured for both PCs and MACS turned out to be the best way to go; though now I have about 3TB of unused solid state drive on the MACBook, a waste of money.

Needed an external hard drive for my larger Dell Inspiron 15 computer. just like my smaller Dell travel computer. I needed some extra space.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

Our Dell Latitude 15 5000 had the standard hard drive that came in it and it was extremely slow. We installed this drive and it immediately made the laptop fast and usable. Chatted with Sandisk Support about the software needed to clone the old drive. It worked great and booted up the first time faster than it ever has. iTunes now opens in a couple of seconds where it had been taking more than 30 seconds and would sometimes fail.

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

After purchasing a Dell Inspiron 13 5000-5379, I noticed the 8GB of installed memory was sometimes getting maxed out. Luckily, the computer has two slots and came with only one full, so adding another 8GB was an easy, cost effective solution: Shut down the computer, remove the small Phillips screws on the bottom, use a bone tool to unsnap the panel. Making sure you dont have a static charge with a wrist-strap or are grounded, slip the module into the empty slot. Voila! 16GB were shown after restart.  Now the computer runs quicker and has plenty of room to run multiple programs. Thank you B&H for a competitive deal and fast delivery.

Worked perfect on my brand new Dell Inspiron 15, couldnt be more please !

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!

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.
