    Just a quick and short test/review.

    Easy SSD. Thanks to 'Bespoke Offers', £29.xx for a 120GB SSD wasn't much. Came with a spacer. Just in case if anybody wondered about the performance. Compared to my trusty Crucial BX100 SSD.

    used these a few times in laptops, great performance for the price really and makes laptops perform so much better

    I bought a stack of these during the recent price bonanza and they have all found homes in the old desktop/laptop computers of family/friends/neighbours.

    It is just amazing how much faster an old Core2Duo PC is after you replace the mechanical hard drive with some random bargain basement SSD.

    TBH I struggle to see why anyone buys any other SSD.

    Maybe it doesn't rule the benchmark tables but in actual day to day use it does exactly the same as every other SSD I've tried/used.

    Fab stuff sandisk.

    Have you tried any M.2 SSDs?

    I only ask because I ordered a Sandisk Ultra 120GB for a new build, then changed my mind and went for Samsung SM951 (MZHPV256HDGL-00000) 256GB, which cost quite a bit more, so I would hope has much better performance than using SATA?

    Since I now have a redundant Sandisk Ultra 120GB I decided to get to get a second since I have another build/project that requires 2 boxes with identical hardware including SSDs which I cheaped out on, so I thought I may as well upgrade those too, but I ended up buying a Sandisk Plus 120GB instead of the second Sandisk Ultra 120GB that I need.

    Was just about to return it, but saw this thread, and thought I'd better make sure that I'm not making a mistake by sending the Plus back instead of the Ultra? Anyone care to comment? I assume there won't be much in it performance wise?

    Hi.
    I'm going to buy the SSD (but for 47$) can I ask you how is going your ssd after almost 5 months?
    Can you rely on sandisk?
    I'm looking for a long lasting SSD, tried a kingston but I was not satisfied.
    I know that SSD ar not reliable like 3,5" common hard drives but I'm just looking for the most reliable ssd with a budget of 50$.

    Thank you very much.

    Flawless I must say. Even a Samsung 830 I recently installed is still going strong. Unless you really like benchmarks, there is very little need for premium models.

    SanDisk is a rather good manufacturer. Go ahead.

    SSD installed. A little tip for other users, I had no time to spend for a brand new installation of Windows 7 (the ssd is giving new life to an old asus laptop) so I cloned the old hard drive with Macrium Reflect free (google for it, I'm not allowed to link external urls) and in half an hour I completed the task.

    TRIM function activated by Sandisk Ssd dashboard and AHCI actived entering in the bios setup control.

    Everything works fine.
    Product registered on SSD product for the 3 year warranty, the last thing to do is to enjoy the speed enhancement .
    I hope my feedback will help.

    Thanks for support.


    P.s. I spent 45 bucks on the amazon

    EDIT: After almost five months I can say this is a best buy for 45 bucks. I still thank user Bonebreaker777 for his feedback.
