SanDisk SSD Plus 120GB 2.5-Inch SDSSDA-120G-G25 (Old Version)

This is everything you want in an SSD at the right price. Its incredibly quick, boots like lightning, and (obviously) silent. The key caveat here is that it does NOT come with imaging/cloning software. Now, if you already have that software, or you know what youre doing? Youre going to have no problems. But if you dont really know what youre doing, and youre looking to transfer over a windows install, youre going to have to find some software to get the job done (and know how to use it...). Thats actually an important point (that is rather casually omitted). But there is no questioning this drives efficacy, especially at the price. Just know what you (arent) getting.

Ive installed two more of these since my last review, and Im happy with all three drives. The 120GB SSD for $40-45 just seems like the right price point for my needs. If prices continue to drop every computer in the house will end up with one. More likely though, well just see the 120GB size fall out of favor, and the 240-250GB size will become the new bottom tier, as the 60GB used to be, and the 32GB ssd was before that. Either way, these are great drives for the money, and in my opinion, the best bet in this price range. I just keep one in my saved for later Amazon folder so I can watch for price drops :)

Works perfect and wow is it fast. This is the only way I will build a PC again. Boot times are almost instant. I installed Windows on it in less than 15 minutes. After installation I just pointed all the data-heavy folders to my other terabyte drive and I was good to go. If youre building a new PC this is required buy. Just as important as a video card or ram. One recommendation. Only plug in the SSD for the install. I had my other drive active during the install and windows made it the boot drive even though the OS was on the SSD. I had to reformat both and start from scratch to get the boot and the OS on the SSD.

I have several of these and they have all proven to be excellent performers. The latest acquisition was added to an aging Dell Vostro Slim that I use for video capture and editing. The hard drive that it replaced became the storage drive for the machine. The reason for the replacement was that the original hard drive would have spells of high activity resulting in annoying delays during editing. The Dell doesnt have advanced SATA so the actual SSD performance measurements are not representative of the drives capabilities. The notable point is that the editing delays are gone and I have a high performance SSD for the next machine when needed. If you have an aging desktop or laptop that can handle SATA this SSD will improve your performance significantly. I have added SSDs to an older Toshiba and a HP/Compaq with excellent performance improvements.

Took me several tries to get it to even take windows 7. I downloaded the dashboard from sandisk but was not compatable with my current computer? LOL running win7ultimate on 2 year old custom built. So had to get out an old computer to and finally got it to work. Put it in my wifes laptop with hopes of it being faster than the standard hard drive. Results: Not a noticeable increase in speed. Battery life dropped way off. Battery hog. She just runs the system with power cord attached now. Would probably not buy another till I was satisfied it will perform as promised. But for a cheap ssd, was ok I guess

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, I bought it 7 years ago, 2009. I wanted a new laptop, but I really dont know what to do with my Dell, so I decided to do some research on speeding it up and I read about changing the hard drive to SSD. It worked like a charm! Ive been using this product for a year now and I didnt have any major problems, besides sometimes my laptop cant read the hard drive upon startup, but its an easy fix I just have to restart it. I highly recommend upgrading your old laptops hard drive with this one, its cheaper than the other SSDs which makes it a lot better! So I upgraded my laptop and its now running in Windows 10. Its like I bought a new laptop for just $50!! Hopefully this can last me for 7 more years.

IT REALLY WORKS WELL!!! I have replaced my old HDD from my ASUS K55VJ and the result is perfect. (Processor Intel® Core™ i7 3610QM, RAM 8GB DDR3) SDD works stable and great. (505MB Read and 213.8MB Write) The major opinion during the choosing this SSD was the READ SPEED and then WRITE SPEED. I have tested this SSD using the Crystal Disk Mark and the results are shown on picture. Fully acceptable for Notebook use. Recommended for all users who wantS to get the SSD with AFFORDABLE PRICE. Thanks SANDISK for this product for this price. (I have purchased this SSD for USD 55.00) ALL THE BEST, Vakhtang

I mainly bought this for my Xbox One and I also purchased a Inateck housing for my SSD. If youre looking to speed up your Xbox One or maybe even your PS4 by shaving down some seconds from your load time then this will help you out. Before it would take me almost 2 minutes from powering on my Xbox and arriving in the tower in Destiny. Now it takes me about a minute and 27 seconds. Think about it if you can save yourself 2 to 5 minutes a day from your gaming experience from loading, you could probably save yourself 20 to 30 hours a year by shaving off load time.

I have been using this SSD for about a month now, and so far no regrets. The price point of the SSD was significantly lower that others of similar capacity. Boot time on my system with this SSD is 20 seconds, compared to a conventional HD at just over 2 minutes. Application launch time appears to be about 2-3x faster as well. As for reliability, time will be the judge, but since I have been using other SanDisk products for 15 years without any issues, I am confident this SSD will not disappoint. As other users have noted, this does not come with cloning software, but there are many available for free.

This went in a laptop from 2010 (by then it was about 7-8 months on the market), and makes a WORLD of difference in speed and bootup time. I upgraded it to Windows 10 and the stock 250GB hard drive was on the slow and unresponsive side. I used a cloning software and in 40min, cloned the drive to the SSD and swapped it inside. I opted for the 120GB capacity because I dont use this laptop as my main machine and didnt need a ton of space. Now my laptop boots in less than 20 seconds!
