Review: brilliant upgrade for ageing laptop! - OK, this is not for those looking for the very best. It looks really cheap and plastic compared to the sleek Samsung 830 I bought at the same time and probably doesn't perform in the same benchmark league either. Nor are there any accessories of any type in the box. Frankly, I don't care about the numbers, all I am worried about is the real world results. I bought it to try and revive a 6-7 year old Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with a Centrino single core 1.73Ghz processor running XP Home and a SATA 1 40Gb hard drive. The laptop hardly got used because it just took too long to boot - easily 10-15 minutes, and was extremely sluggish after that. I've been toying with the idea of trying an SSD and when the Sandisk 64gb appeared in the desertcart flash sale, I thought I would give it a go. On connecting to the computer with the USB to SATA cable supplied with the Samsung, I was concerned to see no recognition of the SSD. I then tried my Windows 7 desktop and realised it needed to be initialised before formatting so I let Windows 7 do the honours. (From numerous comments on the web, I understand Windows 7 does a better job of formatting an SSD than XP so this is the preferred option). Back to the laptop and I downloaded the free version of Macrium Reflect to clone the hard drive. After 3 attempts, this did not work so I then tried the EaseUS Disk Copy Freeware. On installation, this prompted the creation of a boot CD which then needs the computer to be restarted and enter the boot menu at POST (press F12 immediately after starting the computer) and select boot from CD/DVD drive. EaseUS fired up and cloned the disk without a problem and the resulting cloned SSD worked perfectly. Note that the transfer rate over USB2 was around 1.2GB per minute - do the maths and you will see that this is a long process and is a real nuisance if it has to be repeated. I wasn't expecting much, but frankly I am amazed. From pressing the start button to Internet Explorer open and responsive now takes exactly 60 seconds. Everything seems to happen quicker. I am sure we will be using the laptop a lot more for quick online research from now on. I can't say how reliable this will prove to be, especially in the XP environment as I have only had it installed for a couple of weeks - time will tell. As an aside, I then put the Samsung 830 into my son's Dell with Intel C2D and running Vista expecting similar results, but was slightly underwhelmed. It is a little quicker to react, but the improvement is nowhere near as dramatic. I needed the Free EaseUS Partition Manager to reduce the size of the partition to be cloned in this case and also found EaseUS Disk Copy Freeware did not work, but Macrium Reflect did! Reducing the partition was a long process, in my case nearly 2 hours. The system reported over 52,000 files to be moved and when it took 5 minutes to move the first 10, I started to worry, however it did get quicker as it went along.
Review: Hard drive replacement - I have recently bought this 128GB Sandisk Pulse SSD earlier this year, the intended use was to replace the stock SATA II hard drive in an Acer 3810TZ laptop. All of which I have done now and what a difference! from the power on button to desktop screen after all passwords is now done in less than 40 seconds, applications run faster and the lag effect has all gone, battery life is now much improved as well. This is a perfect example of the use of an SSD, you will not regret it! How did I do it? I used the OEM version of Windows 7 on the laptop and backed up the software as you would to create your rescue discs, did a clean install on to the SSD and this was done without even burning any DVD discs. 1. Run your laptop and use your browser to search for and install the 30 day free version of Virtual CD, this allows you to mount a virtual DVD burner. Read the instructions, but basically you create a blank virtual DVD and mount it in the virtual burner. 2. Run from your start button the Acer folder> Recovery> Acer recovery program > Create factory default disc. Follow the instructions, but first of all look to see how large the recovery data files are (mine was 8.5GB) 3. Go back to Virtual CD, go and create a new blank ISO DVD disc, but change the size of the disc to a larger capacity (I did 13.4GB ish) Since it's virtual you can custom select a larger disc more than 4.7GB, this way it's all done in one step. Mount the disc into the virtual DVD burner 4. Now go back to the recovery program, select the DVD burner/disc that is now available and run the Create factory default disc process. 5. Now you need to prepare a suitable USB flash drive (I used a 16GB) You need to specifically create a bootable USB drive, follow the instructions on Maximum PC How to create a bootable USB, only format the USB drive to NTFS and not FAT32. 6. Go to your newly created Backup Virtual DVD and mount the disc into the virtual CD drive, from Start > Computer open the disc to view all the folders and files, select all, copy the entire contents to your newly prepared bootable USB drive. 7. Hardware, now your nearly there! Shut down your laptop and follow your Laptop / SSD instructions to replace the hard drive with your new SSD. 8. Now before you boot only have your newly prepared USB connected, go to the Bios (hitting F2) and go to the boot priority and change it to USB HDD as priority 1. Also make sure your set to run the SSD in AHCI mode, not IDE. Save your Bios settings and allow the re boot to commence 9. Follow all the instructions and it should re install the OEM version of Win 7. 10. Once completed don't forget to change your Bios boot priority back to the SSD as priority 1 and not the USB I followed various tutorials on YouTube as well, but don't go for all this in one go, do it in stages it take hours! But as I can testify you can reinstall your backup OEM software without using DVD's or having to buy an optical drive just for the job. Other tips as well for an SSD are to disable SuperFetch, indexing and defragmentation; these all give the SSD a hard time and reduce life expectancy. If your SSD has software tools, these may be dealt with for you, if not just search your web browser for simple instructions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ maybe not the best
*by J***T on 3 December 2012*

but certainly not the worse. With the speed SSDs work you won't really notice that there are better performing ones out there. At 1.5GB per quid it was worth the money to pop this in 1 of my home machines as a system disc. Recovery partition is on the standard HDD so this just has to cope with the day to day running and normal programmes. That machine now opens in less than a third of the time it used to, which is nice. Other programmes now on the disk also open quicker when up and running. While with this PC not initially slow in opening things anyway, you do notice the time difference as things just flow better. I particularly notice now when using my work machine which used to be about the same as the PC I popped this drive in. Now I notice every lag on the work machine and wish they would upgrade too. I could direct you to better SSDs for gaming, but at this price and with your back-up elsewhere for a reinstall just to be on the safe side, it has the price tag to make it a good invetment for that quicker smoother experience.
