What customers say about "Key Specs"

SanDisk SSD Plus1 Old Version

I needed more capacity for my PC and the solid state drive provides just what I needed.
The 250 GB capacity is perfect for a primary drive, plenty of room and small enough to cut down lag.
It's prices very well, as well as fast read/write speeds. Its great for replacing that old hard drive in a laptop.
Works awesome. Fast read and write speeds. Excellent replacement drive.
Quickly degraded. While read speed still good, write speed dropped below 30MB/s.
Write speeds are a little lower than some other drives in the same price range, but I felt like reliability would be good with the sandisk brand and was worth the slight decrease in write speed.

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive

Install was easy and the write/read speed were very close to advertised speed.
It has read speeds of around 540 Mbps and will greatly improve you system speed. I have had users ask me what I done to their computers because it is so fast now.
The drive has great read and write speeds. The drive also fits within the drive bay as it should.
Reading/writing speed increased considerably for all my programs. I highly recommend.
This really gave my old PC a boost as far as speed and storage capacity.

What customers say about "Features"

SanDisk SSD Plus1 Old Version

This configuration is considerably faster than using a flash drive and the form factor isn't ridiculous.
Gets full read/write speed when Sata 3 controller is present.
The SanDisk - 240GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive Plus delivers great performance for a good price.
Quite fast for a memory card. Have no complaints. Highly recommend.
It boots up fast and no complaints yet.
My one complaint is that it required the user to download third-party software to clone a disk. This caused a bit of confusion and was inconvenient.

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive

Uses normal SATA III interface and was recognized by computer with no problem.
If your system supports SATA 3 only, you won't be disappointed with this; I personally bought a few, and never had an issue with any of them.
Very fast SSD and offers 256-bit encryption, I cannot find a better SSD than this one.
The 32-layer 3D VNAND flash memory ensures reliable performance, and AES 256-bit encryption keeps my data private.
No reduction in start-up time. Still takes about 20-ish seconds. Not bad, but I don't understand why there isn't at least a little improvement.
