Very happy with this upgrade

I installed Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 7 on a PC running Windows 7, and use it in conjunction with a Wacom Bamboo tablet. Installation and set up went well. I'd previously been using Sketchbook Pro 6, and I like the upgrade much better.

Cropping is easier - you no longer have to use the Select tool, just click crop and choose what you want. The new Perspective tools are very fun and easy to use. Another new feature is the flipbook. The onionskins work really well, allowing you to see up to 5 past screens as you're drawing.

The software runs really smoothly, I haven't had any of the glitches I occasionally ran into with Sketchbook Pro 6. Overall I'm very happy with the upgrade and would recommend Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 7.

Replaced my old 120GB 7200RPM HDD on 2005 Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. The switch was smooth. This new drive is performing well and in fact much faster than my HDD. My PC is again "like new" in terms of performance. Great upgrade for the $$ I paid. Love it!

This thing is fast for a laptop drive. Very pleased with the upgrade.

Absolutely worth upgrading from a hard drive and even more so if upgrading a laptop. About 10x faster booting on my laptop and everything about the system is snappy now. Would definitely buy again.

Brighter and more White than OEM.  Happy with my upgrade!

I updated from 2011 version and this is a great upgrade.  It was seamless and was able to convert all data easily.

The upgrade literally took less than 10  minutes to remove the old HD (500GB) and install the new one.  I had no issues with Time Capsule recognizing the new drive or the added space and it is very quiet as well.  I couldn't be happier the cost of the upgrade or the operation of the HD.

Had an old 2006 MAC Mini that was having some trouble keeping up with the latest software.  Upgraded to 4GB RAM (Patriot), 750GB HDD, firmware flash to (2,1), and this SL9SF CPU.  Everything went smoothly and the machine runs like a dream.  The 64bit CPU should allow upgrade to OS X 10.7 and 10.8; though I have read some kext's need to be modified.

Really enjoying this upgrade (at least for me it is).  Better screen & graphics.  Faster.  Easier in most respects.

Great upgrade. No problems. Had to get this new modem when I upgraded my internet speed. This one is on the compatibility list with Spectrum.

This PS3 160GB upgrade is very nice. It brings my PS3 up to the current system (on the store shelf) storage capacity.

The mechanical install was a piece of cake. The only tool needed is a small phillips screwdriver.

Getting the hard drive or my system to function (post install) was a different story. When I removed the old hard drive and installed the new one, my operating system stopped working.

The work around is to go to the Sony Playstation website ([...]) and download the latest system to a pin drive (follow the directions carefully setting up the file) then plug into the PS3. With the other USB port, plug in your game controller. Then follow the on screen directions.

All in all, this 5 minute job took about 1 hour. If you are not technically savvy, get a friend that is or else you may get very frustrated.

Memory dropped right in and took off. Excellent upgrade.

This is the best upgrade for a modern computer.  I have a Dell Optiplex 990 with I5, I was considering getting an I7.  Then I realized it currently takes about 5 minutes for my computer to start up.  I installed this and I am ready in about 15 seconds.
I used Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 to migrate.  I moved all the large data files off my C drive and then moved it.  Initially it would not start up, so I switched the SATA cable from my old startup drive.  Worked.  I did not use the included Samsung utility.
Once you have enough memory, and a reasonably fast computer, this is the upgrade to do.
If you are upgrading a Windows computer, be sure to turn off Hibernation. This can be a big file, and it is hard on SSD drives, google how to turn it off.  Also, be sure to use a UPS, SSD drives do not like power hits.  Google that if you want more info.

Very nice upgrade on my 13" MacBook Pro model A1278.
Not only boot and resume/wake up time are drastically improved but application performance across the board is improved.
I can't compare this to other SSDs, but now I know the next quick easy upgrade to speed up an older computer after RAM is swapping out that spinning drive with an SSD.

An excellent upgrade for my PC albeit a little pricey.

I got this 1TB drive from Ebay because there was a 25% special; otherwise, I would have purchased it from Amazon in case I needed to return it for some reasons.

I had never used an SSD before, so wasn't sure what to expect other than things should be faster. I was very happy to experience a cold boot taking a few seconds instead of minutes from my old 7200 RPM 1TB Seagate. I also noticed everything else was faster; webpage loaded faster, which wasn't expected.

I gave this a 4-star rating because of how pricey SSD are in general. I know prices have come way down, but still pretty expensive. My system is a 5-year old all-in-one that I purchased for $330 again from Ebay. I max'd out on the RAM (8GB) so SSD HD was the next thing on the list. If I had to do it all over again, I would have kept the original 4GB RAM and not bother doubling it to 8GB. I think just the SSD is enough to make a performance jump since Windows memory mapped everything. I understand the difference between DRAM and NAND, and still think getting SSD would have been sufficed. The data access time between a mechanical and SSD HD is just crazy big.

BTW, even though this SSD is rated for 6G, I don't think my memory controller can support that being it's 5 years old.

Fantastic. Improvement in downloads and uploads. Easy install. Note: If you are going to SLI or Crossfire, this may interfere with the space between them because the heatsink is bigger.

Excellent upgrade for my old HP Slimline.  Low power consumption model (S designation) was more expensive than a higher speed model but the efficiency & lower thermal (heat) output beat more speed. Going from 2.33 to 2.83 & keeping the same 225 watt power supply (I also upgraded the GPU from a Nvidia 210 GT to a Nvidia 640 GT) but have both less power consumption & less heat than before with a substantial boost in speed.  The next upgrade will be a Samsung EV 840 1 TB SSD.
