Sandisk Solid State Drive 256Gb Review

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.

This SanDisk 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive is great for storing files that you've created yourself. So whether its Text or Graphics or Sound or Video - you've got plenty of room for plenty of files with this baby. When a standard hard drive crashes, all you've got then is a paper weight... When a USB Flash Drive reaches it's maximum period of use - at least you've then got a ROM - Read Only Memory device. All the data is still intact and can be read and copied. Too bad Hard Drives can't do that too. Just don't drop it into a microwave oven or under a rolling tire...lol

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

The SanDisk 256GB iXpand Flash Drive Luxe provides a seamless way to expand storage on your iPhone, iPad, and computers. Its dual connectors, Lightning and USB 3.0, facilitate easy file transfers between Apple devices and PCs. The sleek metal design is both stylish and durable, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The iXpand Drive app enhances functionality with automatic photo backups and password protection. While the storage capacity is ample for most users, it may not suffice for those with extensive media libraries. Overall, it’s an excellent solution for managing and transferring files between devices effortlessly.

I had a tower machine with a 256gb SSD that I upgraded to this SanDisk 1TB SSD. I plugged the SanDisk SSD into a NewerTech Voyager dock and cloned the 256GB drive to the 1TB drive with Acronis True Image. Then I turned off the tower and swapped the SSDs. Piece of cake!

I purchased 2 SanDisk 256GB Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB 3.1 Flash Drive (USB Type-C / Type-A) I use these flash drives as another back-up device so these drives have to be very reliable over the long term.  They’re a bit slippery so I may add some tape or other for some thumb grip/feel. Other than that, they are performing perfectly for me. And I trust buying electronics from B&H.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to install this Solid State Drive with no problems at all. It is high quality and works great. I replaced an old mechanical spinning hard drive with this one and I am really pleased with it. The computer runs faster and there are no problems at all with heat. You can feel the quality of the item right when it comes out of the package. I can't say one bad thing about it. If you are looking for a Solid State Drive upgrade, I highly recommend this one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This solid-state drive has really transformed my personal, at-home computer! It stores so much stuff on it, I've moved some of my really intensive games on here and they run so much faster than before. It was very easy to install as well, and is definitely super durable and made out of high-quality materials. Now that my gaming pc has more storage it is performing so much better! I highly recommend this SSD.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't figure out why I was opposed to ordering my new computer with a Solid State Drive instead of a HDD. Perhaps I was leery of the technology. I since replaced the HDD with the Samsung 860 Pro Solid State Drive. Before it to several minutes for the system to boot, now it is almost instantaneous. The overall performance of my system has increased 100 fold. Kudos to Samsung for their continuously innovative products. They made me a believer.
