One went into an old Turion x2 laptop running Windows Vista. Because I didn't have the recovery disc for Vista and I didn't really want to spend too much time with it, I just imaged the drive over using Macrium Reflect to the SSD. It made a huge difference in usability. The boot time is still depressingly slow (but far faster than it used to be -- was over 3 minutes before, now it's closer to 60-90 seconds from power button to usable Windows screen), but the responsiveness of the laptop has improved greatly. Also, being a 9 year old laptop with data that we didn't want to lose on it, I figured it was time for a backup anyway, so this way we have the old HDD sitting around as the data backup.
The other went into a 1st gen i7 laptop running Windows 7. Unlike the other laptops I'd installed 7mm thick SSDs into up until this, this one really required a 9.5mm drive. Thankfully, this SSD (like many others) came with a plastic spacer. With the spacer in place on the SSD, I was able to align the drive and slide it in to the appropriate SATA connectors. I installed Windows 7 fresh on this SSD, and then installed the Windows 10 upgrade on it, figuring that this laptop can now last a number of years. I still have the option of going back to 7 if I hate it, but Microsoft will let me use 10 again at a later date, because it's been upgraded before the year period was up. Man, does this laptop boot silly fast now. It's up in just a handful of seconds from power on, and it's ready to go. Apps just fly open now. I love it.
As I'm sure you know just by looking into purchasing an SSD, no matter what laptop you have, if it's got an HDD, going to an SSD will provide some benefit. There's very little downside to SSDs from a performance standpoint. It's mainly price per GB and the data densities available that keep SSDs from being the only thing you see out there. It's definitely headed in that direction, for better or for worse. For my part, I've been thrilled with my SSDs in my laptops, and these also don't disappoint. Very nice performance, from a solid brand, at a great price. I'm happy with that.
This is my first experience with an SSD and I must say that I'm quite pleased so far. I wanted a second storage device for my ThinkPad T420 on which to run Linux and wanted to try an SSD, but didn't want it to be too expensive. After reading some reviews I decided to go with this one; it seemed good for its price. I also did some research beforehand on how Linux and SSDs interact. The distribution I selected was SparkyLinux 4.0, which is a Debian testing derivative. I mounted the SSD via the T420's UltraBay, using a third-party caddy. This was extremely easy and was done in about a minute. During installation, I put the /var and /tmp partitions on the laptop's internal HDD, since these directories tend to get written to frequently. After the initial install, I set the swappiness to 1 and enabled trim manually by editing /etc/fstab, adding the discard and noatime options. These steps were all taken in an effort to reduce wear on the SSD. To further reduce wear, I also installed profile-sync-daemon. I should mention that SparkyLinux does not appear to have hibernate functionality installed by default; I had to actually install the hibernate command before it would hibernate properly. Once everything was set up, it was off to the races. The computer boots up in less than 10 seconds and application launch times are considerably faster than with any HDD I've seen. I haven't conducted any benchmarks, but given the low price and the stance of other reviews, I can't imagine that it's winning any records. Still, it seems to be a great budget option and I'm very pleased with it thus far. It gets 5 stars because it's super cheap and is tangibly much faster than an HDD; any complaints have to be measured against its price. I am now considering getting another one for a different laptop and will update this review if I have any issues down the road.
UPDATE 1 (10-09-2015): I finally did some benchmarking and as it turns out, the drive only exhibits a sequential read of ~290 MB/sec, which isn't even close to the advertised 520. This is a bit disappointing, but I don't care too much as it's still plenty fast enough to meet my requirements. Although my requirements are not high, the lower-than-advertised sequential read is probably information that people will want to know, so I'm mentioning it. Right now, I'm not sure if the drive's a lemon or if something else is slowing it down. I've heard some claims that that the T420's UltraBay doesn't reach SATA III speeds, and it's also possible that the caddy I'm using is the bottleneck. A final possibility is that it's a driver issue in SparkyLinux. Since I need to do more research on this matter and I'm still satisfied with the drive, I'm not changing my rating yet. Cached reads, incidentally, are ~4500 MB/sec.
UPDATE 2 (10-09-2015): I decided to use a different software benchmark to test the drive's read performance and it reports that in fact, the sequential read performance is ~510 MB/sec. It's good to know that it was a software issue that produced the previous result. Of course, no drive ever actually hits its advertised performance, but this drive comes very close and I don't think anyone will feel cheated.
UPDATE 3 (10-10-2015): Ordered a second one for the aforementioned different laptop, a ThinkPad X131e, and dropped SparkyLinux on it as well. I used the same adjustments as before to reduce wear. Once again, the sequential read is ~510 MB/sec, so that's 2 for 2 good drives now. Whatever SanDisk is doing here, it seems to be working. The performance gains are significant for this slow computer. Boot time has been cut in half, programs start up quickly if not instantly, and hibernating went from agonizingly slow to completely tolerable. It's still slower than the T420 - obviously, the SSD can't fix its underpowered CPU - but it's not a laggy mess anymore and honestly, that's all I needed.

My notebook computer is a good example of this--the old hard drive would take over a minute to boot into Windows and finish loading drivers; this hard drive does that in about 20 seconds. Indeed, if the interface were more modern, it probably would be even faster, because the limiting factor is not the hard drive but the hardware on the laptop.
Installation was a snap; cloning was easy (I used a desktop cloning device); and it runs just fine. I can definitely recommend it as a way to get increased performance from older hardware, because the bottlenecks in performance these days are really in the area of hard drives and interfaces and not in RAM or processor speed. You can add new life to old computers simply by getting a fast but cheap solid state hard drive. This SanDisk is perfect for that.
Top reviews from other countries
En general recomiendo el cambio de un disco duro convencional por uno SSD.
Sandisk makes some fine products, always had very good positives with them.
This is not an SSD for Enterprises or heavy Video editing.
This is an SSD to be used for the OS and Applications only.
Pro's
Easy to install
No problems copying old hdd partition to it so 1 reboot later OS And All Applications all running smoothly on the SSD
Cons ( minor due to price)
Not to be used for heavy video editing ( USE CHEAP HDD's in Raid for that)
Make Sure you disable any writing to the drive by the OS, this means Windows 10 needs to be setup and everything disabled
The OS should only be doing the Job of being and OS and do nothing until you tell it.
Windows 10 default defrag must be disabled!!!. Make sure under tasks in computer management that no Defrag is enabled!!
Other than that Excellent SSD's.
OS on SSD, Data and heavy file copying HDD. Good Combo.
Results of moving OS partition from my HHD to this SSD
( old HDD) 47 seconds to desktop ( autologin no pass)
( SSD) 5 seconds to desktop ( autologin no pass)
Only change was this SSD that is what these things can do. Incredible.
