I wanted to upgrade my laptop's 720GB HDD with SSD. I had two choices upfront; one being Samsung EVO and the other SanDisk. Somehow when it comes to USB flash drives or high performance SD/microSD cards I always tend to buy SanDisk products which is a bit expensive than others in the similar product range. I had no complaints about a single product so far. That's the reason I chose SanDisk over Samsung as my experience with Samsung products have been always horrible.
I replaced this drive with my 6years old 5200rpm HDD. Before replacing I noted the boot-up time which wasn't that bad as my machine is quad core. My Windows 10 Enterprise loads quick but after logging in it still takes time to initialize the tray icons and load other start up services which accounted for 52secs. After installing this SSD, it completes the same process in hardly 25secs. Keep in mind that I am a Software Engineer having 2 to 3 heavy services running on logging in.
My all Microsoft Office documents started opening in blink of an eye. My IDE/compilers like VS Studio 2015 & 2017 started loading my software projects in few seconds. Compiling a software had a drastic improvement. Overall I didn't expect such better performance over my older drive.
I am surprised and completely happy with my purchase. Though I would like to suggest others to use this SSD as a primary drive where you install OS on than simply using it as a storage drive until money isn't a constraint.
I cloned my old HDD with this SDD using Sabrent's SATA docking/cloning dual bay device. This was my first time to clone my HDD to SSD and had my fingers crossed. I successfully cloned the drives and hooked up this SSD to my laptop. All softwares are working fine in the new drive with top notch performance. It didn't ask for re-registration of any licensed software which I had a doubt before the swap. But FYI, my Windows 10 did detect this swap change and during the first startup displayed an error message informing it detected a change and is fixing it. After this everything is working as expected.
Hope this review is helpful.
While everyone moves to M.2 and PCI-E based NVME storage, I still recommend SATA based SSDs as the best bang for your buck. If you look at synthetic or simulated test scores from software like crystal disk mark, you may be easily swayed to pay the premium for NVME, however, real world usages still shows that SATA SSDs are still very close in terms of game / application loading speeds. Yes, the NVME is faster, there is no denying it, but at this juncture if you are looking to keep costs low, you can feel confident in still buying a standard SSD.
With that out of the way, I particularly want to state that I have had really good luck with Sandisk drives, with zero failures to date. This 2TB drive is still fresh so I can't comment on its longevity, but it booted fine and is not showing signs of early failure. To be perfectly honest, you can likely even go for the lower tier variant and not notice any real world difference in performance, but I chose the extreme because the price difference is small and when I build for someone else I tend toward slightly more premium options.

critical data was BKU. Debated of keep this old workhorse alive or not. In my line of work, I've
to keep some of the older Hdwe and Software around. This SanDisk SSD was easy to install,
and I was able to get my old system up and running again. I can't believe the increase of speed
my old computer has now.
