Designed for use as a startup drive, the 4TB 3D SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD from SanDisk provides faster system boots and helps enable faster gaming and graphics performance compared to a traditional HDD. It has a storage capacity of up to 4TB, is equipped with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, and fits into your system’s 2.5″ / 7mm drive bay. In terms of speed, this drive offers sequential write speeds of up to 530 MB/s, sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s, random writes of up to 84,000 IOPS, and random reads of up to 95,000 IOPS 3D NAND and nCache 2.0 technology.
With solid-state drive technology you benefit from load and access times for your files and programs that are faster than a conventional 7200 rpm hard drive. As SSDs have no moving parts, they are also more durable than traditional hard drives and are better protected against damage from drops and bumps. Having no moving parts also means that SSDs receive less wear and tear, as there are no read or write heads for the drive media to come into contact with. SSDs also help to deliver improved battery life and cooler operating temperatures.
SanDisk’s 4TB 3D SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD offers their SSD Dashboard, which is available as a free download, and helps users to monitor their drive’s health. Protection is provided by a limited 3-year warranty, or an endurance rating of up to 600 Terabytes Written (TBW), whichever comes first.

I been updating my raid unit for photos and media. Works as expected. Price was right too.

You do pay a bit more for this brand, but it has never failed me. With this new SSD my computer is much faster than the previous 5400rpm HDD.

It’s noticeably faster, but I don’t know that it’s leaps and bounds faster like the SSD I purchased to replace my C:. That one blew me away whereas this one is being used primarily to store photos and retrieve them for work in Adobe LR. I repeat, it’s quicker, just not the blink of the eye I was hoping for.

Seems to be reliable so far. An easy drop-in replacement that saves energy (over a mechanical HDD), runs cool and works reliably. I have many SSDs dating back 4 years, and none of them have failed. In the same period, a handful of mechanical drives have failed suddenly and unexpectedly. Ive been replacing them with these SSD drives and watching the case temperatures plummet and the electricity wattage consumed on my Kill-A-Watt P3 going down. Sandisk has a reliable track history, so I have good expectations about this drives reliability.

Worked great. I had a problem, with Windows 10 recognizing the drive, but that’s a MS problem. Bought an SSD dock and it’s rockin anddd it’s basically turns it into a portable 2TB ssd. Lovin it!

I use this to capture 4K, 30pm footage on several different Atomos Recorders and they work well. No issues so far. Affordable enough that I picked up 3 and will probably get a few more for backup.

Paired this SSD with an OWC Elite Pro Dual Mini and a 2019 MBP. I’ve been working on Video and Photography files with the SSD/External combo with no noticeable performance loss.

My new SanDisk Ultra 3D 500GB SSD arrived promptly, and was easy clone my old hard drive and install into my HP 6200 Desktop PC. I had zero issues, and the performance is super fast.

I have 2 of these drives. One is in my video editing computer for editing programs and the other is on my Ninja V. Both work great.

I initially could not get macOS 12 Monterey to format this drive connected to USB C (this seems to be a reported common problem). Connecting via USB 3 using a USB B cable solved the formatting issue. Crazy right!

purchased the sandisk 4tb for my ASUS G74S Laptop and what a huge difference it does, the laptop is alot faster before boot time was 45 seconds and not its 4 seconds flat. i recommend anyone with older laptops to upgrade!

SANDISK QUALITY.

I am happy with the SanDisk 1TB SSD. It is so easy to install, format, and partition that “even a caveman could do it.” I have it paired with a 500MB SSD boot drive. I didn’t need this SSD. I just wanted it. Its attractive price was the offer I could not refuse. The SanDisk Dashboard reports that my motherboard limits the SSD to 3MBS, whereas the drive itself can handle 6MBS. This dampening of speed is the fault of my motherboard buses, not a fault of SanDisk. Even so, my i5 Windows 10 system is spiffy-fast and quiet as a church mouse.

I use this drive for Agisoft photogrammetry processing. I bought a fast computer, but really undersized the SSD drives. We always have relied on SanDisk for camera cards and this SSD is obviously from the same manufacturer.

I bought this to use as a Media Drive for editing using an external USB 3 dock. Works great for ProRes and DNxHR workflows. I also use the 3D 360 SSDs for Atomos recorders. Fast and reliable.
