This is a great SSD for capturing 4K 4:2:2 10bit video on the Ninja Inferno. I wished they had been available when I was starting out 20 years ago. But very grateful they are with us now. They are fast, lightweight and so far very dependable. And Adorama was equally fast with their delivery to me. Five stars for all!

Fast and Faithful

For extended recordings works great in BlackMagic HyperDeck Pro 4K

Works Great in HyperDeck Pro 4K

Using this as my Confirmation drive on my recent build, works great so far. The speeds are up to par and there have been no issues as of yet.

Functional

I'm new to building PCs but this drive works as advertised and for now thats good enough for me.

Product works as advertised

It was easy to install and does its job well

Pretty Good

Really good to download the os and bios drivers on very fast seems as though my computer is already on without much wait time. Also is more true about the storage i think it was like 10 gb off but still better than most.

Amazing and true

Shipping = Great, SSD = Great, Adorama = Great!

Great!

Is faster than a conventional hard disk, and hopefully will last longer and be more reliable.

Solid state drive

I bought this drive and after installing my computer has become as good as new and is very fast. Now it takes about 15 seconds to boot up. Fast and reliable product.

Good Deal

I'm editing with this disk on my laptop and it's amazing, super fast no issues.

Great Disk

Very easy to install. So far everything has run very smoothly. My computer boots up in half the time and is silent during use.

Very easy to install

DIED IN 2 MONTH AND LOCK OR  DAMAGED  MY GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARD SATA CONTROLLERS.  TO RMA THIS DISK TAKES A LONG PROCESS AND WILL REPLACE WITH A REFURBISHED. WILL NEVER TRUST SAN DISK EVER.  LOST MAY DATA.

DIED IN 2 MONTHS

All of my production machines use an SSD as its system disk (but 7200rpm disks for data storage).  The first machine I  upgraded to an SSD only had a 120GB SSD, and occasionally ran very low on space.  I also needed to upgrade one machine to Win10 for testing purposes.

So I got a 480GB Ultra II, cloned the 120GB SSD to it (using acronis) and upgraded the new disk to Win10, giving me a instant backout to Win7 in case I came across any egregious problems.

After a couple of weeks, so far, so good.  Speed and cost/gigabyte was more than acceptable.  All of my SSD's are SanDisks (since 2012) and have been very reliable with no failures. Hopefully, the Ultra II will be as reliable as the Extremes have been.

Beats having the OS on a spinning disk...

Works great

My 2011 MacBook Pro was running slow. With the drop in prices for SSD's, this was the time to upgrade. For $129 I lost a few gigabytes over my regular drive, but the speed difference and performance improvement in the computer was well worth it. Very easy to install in my MacBook Pro.

I'm helping a frie.nd install one in an iMac tonight. Hopefully we'll have another successful project

Excellent buy

Best Reliable SSD for a Budget

I use these for quiet, low-power storage of some of my data. These run circles around standard platter drives in some of my applications.

I would prefer a full 1 GByte per drive, but I understand the drive uses some "hidden" blocks for relocation in case a block is going bad. This is standard for SSDs.With leaving 10% of the blocks unallocated (to allow sustained fast writes),  this drive gives me about 800 GByte of storage.

large, affordable, quiet

1 week in and all is well replaced existing HDD in an older iMac without issue transfer was fairly easy.

1 week in and all is well

I've used this drive with my Atomos Ninja Assassin to record 4k and HD from a7sII and C100. No issues.

Works well for 4k

My 6 year old Toshiba laptop was on it's last legs, or so I thought. It took 5 minutes to boot and regularly lagged due to constant access to the hard disk drive. Defragging the laptop's HDD didn't help.

I cloned the old HDD to this 960GB SSD and swapped drives. The laptop now boots in less than 1 minute and no longer lags. Faster, lighter, quieter and almost twice the capacity. Only regret is that I didn't upgrade sooner!

Note that there are no cables included, so you'll need a USB to SATA cable to clone the old HDD.

Excellent upgrade for an older laptop

I am really happy to get it from Adoroma for just $79, once i replaced in my windows 7 machine, my bootup speed is 30secs from hypernate to active is 15 secs. now i am editing and managing  all my photos, videos easily and fast. I am really happy and here is my blog - how to install sandisk ultra II.

Thanks

Fast as anything

Really speeded up my computer

Pretty good

I put this drive in my laptop to replace a standard drive.  It is fast and quiet.  The laptop boots much faster.  I bought it for speed and it provides that.  I would definitely recommend it.

SanDisk Ultra II.

It seems to be working fine. It is mounted as an external SSD, and presently holds a great deal of photos. Since it makes no noise, and generates no heat, there is not much to say about an SSD until if fails, and that has not happened.
