SanDisk X210/256G 2.5-Inch Internal Solid State Drive SD6SB2M-256G-1022I

I figured with the fluxuation I always missed on the consumer version extreme II (522 AM and i'm not just getting up), that why not get the x210 for the same price as it has some protective business class features and appeared to be better overall performance for around $180 Being in IT and knowing not to load windows previews, but doing it always still for some reason may caused some issues as I added it to a Dell Latitude E6530 which was upgraded to 16 GB DDR3 CAS 9 blah blah blah and a 2nd drive mount used to keep a SATA 3 HDD in as well and then 6 laptop drives with various USB 3 connections on WD black drives used for different security VM's and testing env's.Problems: Never could register this specific drive with SAN DISK course the last drive was a 32 GB class 10 micro for my phone only to find the info of the flaws in them and losing all the corp project info and backups the drive was used for, so SAN disk failures wouldn't be a surprise, but wanted to give them another shot due to reviews.Software not clear at all about the drive or what to do for non geeks and if you are going to have 2 or 3 drives in a systems and transfer data a more logical way, hopefully you know about GPT, MBR, UEFI booting, BIOS booting, partition sizing and sector control since none of this appears to work very well yet my 3 year old drive in a 5 year old laptop on Win 7 had nothing but a smooth transition. using an HP v300 yes I know HP and in a Toshiba laptop w dual core, vs. this beast of an i7 3rd gen that I figured I'd notice a major difference between both systems and really don't which is just odd, esp with adobe partnership and other vendors, so all the SW is ava and loaded sparing and properly.Then noticing after UEFI and BIOS boot confusion and drives not showing up, once the dang drive finally did get formatted, no clue why but it choose 512k sectors from windows in UEFI mode yet the HDD is on the 4k or what we call 4k....DEVSLEP pffft have yet to see this work, BIOS is current on all HW and settings appear as they should.To late to send back and can't afford downtime to reinstall Win 8.1 enterprise again hoping that the drive goes into 4k partition installs on the SSD side, so living with it and likely don't expect much would change significantly????????? If you know something a shoot out would be nice!!!Figured I may throw an mSATA drive in as well as the space is here and price is right and yes I ensure there is plenty or provisioned spaced or over provisioning, to keep enough unavailable, which wasn't an issue and it performs decent, but nothing like I'd expect coming from a crappy low end 1st gen dual core with 4 GB and an SSD upgrade, but a slot only able to handle SATA! as well when SATA 3 is here and the highest end i7 with discrete video and 16GB of the best performing RAM and top SSD, both system make it seem like I'm in a V6 when I thought I'd have an 8 or maybe even a 10 on this beast as it sits and has extra cooling yet gives low mem errors like really? no VM's just 10 or 30 tabs like any system I use.... And it isn't any networking affliction hell I'm behind a Check Point system and a Juniper SSG just because that's what I do and felt like it, but no ATP's, attacks, bad data flows, and I'm hardwired, and may just need a desktop with dual proc's crazy video and 32 GB, or Win9 and the 512KB sectors is the main cause? Wish SN Disk didn't fail every attempt at registering this drive, but did appear SQL inject could be performed if a person wanted to go blindingly at it. I'll just use a different vendor in all SANs, Arrays and anyone who greenlights upgrades to local machines as time is others money and lost days on faulty microSD 2 yrs well a year back in the Note 2 from their best chip at the time and then seen the reviews sadly flooded by 5 stars for the other models and sizes making it hard to notice w/o reading 1500 reviews for a product to find a problem, but maybe a skeptic view is a good view, woulda saved a lot of strife for me. Then days wasted messing with this and no really help or doc's to be found that matched up with installation or configuration/optimization of the x210 sadly. But I did learn more then I needed about SSD architecture and their n cache among other tricks to prevent data loss wo actually implementing the flushing battery.... FAIL again I understand with dead drives at a low count, but still randomly rare can seem rarely random i high volumes of SAN Disk Volumes of minor faultsGo Intel you'll never notice the speed difference and unless a new Gen is out that can handle the power draw of some of the higher end but still business or enterprise minded drives like this is ten try those in a desktop only or ensure enough juice from laptop. Likely the first and only time I'd rather have the extra space then nearly dbl the price for this highly rated drive unless I had another 3k chilling to trying a side by side bild while allowing me to work on at least one laptop and could n even add a mac in, but I go with what works, and try and give products another shot or many, but not when it slows productivity of their projects on someones dime unless vendors step in to address it and in a way that keeps from to much if any added downtime, meaning dell fixing shorty towers w bad semiconductors or cap's at CPS or networking vendors and the Data Center teams listening to where the bottle neck is after ignoring me or staff the first time as all gig ports are not the same or wireless from best buy is not a dual band commercial cisco AP either regardless of how stubborn you are and refuse to test the theory that is that much quicker your firm is no where near ours again and if so contracts showing our risk mitigation reports putting them as one of the largest concerns and valuations showing us or our finished product if done end to end by my staff and not a Director who had 25 ppl then was given a CC and let run wild as company growth exploded and he build a corp network from the best buy shelves and still argues about wireless as I look at linksys 54 G's on the floors knotted up with fans into a UPS and usually a heater near by for the persons feat, but no site survey is needed this is all new occurrences for sure and Cisco's SE's that they sent out in high hopes are wrong also, dutchman!! btw you aren't magical and able to route over layer 2 last I checked and told you in that hub spoke mess you wasted a full day on, good thing this too is a risk we calculate and I had a router in with me for when and if you got fed up, or actually attempted a VLAN we planned to leave so that would clearly point to Cisco being there or something now go put APC's in the NEMA box that are indoor rated only and hook up the PTP wireless for your HQ and main FT location and do it in the worst winter blizzard in decades and leave a cord while your thinking about it and let it hang in the snow extended to the APC rated for 1 bridge not 2 and who knows what else. btw good job with that lock that is froze now and unopenable too, guess ecomm is out for the day and half the company can leave... Director yes you sigh you should also move the last server onto the same SAN and datastore that is nearly full with the 3 highest resource hogs like ERP CRM SQL and that old Novell file share and call me to change the alarm to 500 ms thresholds for read and writes and add 2 more SANs instead of utilize the data stores and spread the damn arrays out let alone use the 10GbE setup for you vs a single cat 5, but you are right so deal with the spamming bots and LoIC from your admin accounts with the same passwords as the account name that I put ATP's to research in those reports under sports betting lines, as its not an issue and heck no one wanted to email for 2 days anyway...How this guy knew not to go SAN disk and felt that way for years I'll never know or why that was the only thing he kept to himself on views and disagreements....

I give 5 stars because the issue I encountered may have nothing to do with the disk. Here is what happened. I needed to clone my still-working iMAC 2009 internal HDD as I wanted to replace it with an SSD. I connected the X210 SSD via an external USB disk docking station. In Disk Utility, I ran "Erase". All right, the disk was formatted as Mac OS "GUID" and ready for cloning procedure using the Restore. Then I said to myself I would create another small partition in the Partition section of Disk Utility. The progress bar never advanced, hours later. From that point, I had no means anymore to do whatsoever. No way to run Erase again. Connected it to a Windows 7 PC but no way - the Disk Manager was at its wits' end. I was all sweated and desperate. Then connected it to a MacBook Pro 2010, with little hope. On the contrary of my iMac, the Erase option was not grayed and I could run it and re-format the disk. Then connected it back to the iMac and successfully cloned my internal HDD on it. Was this the SSD issue or my iMac issue ? Why Windows 7 was not able to use the disk after the unsuccessful partitioning on iMac ? I'll probably never know. Then replaced the original HDD of my iMac with this SSD and activated TRIM with 3rd party free SW. It has been running for 3 weeks now, without any issue. Some instabilities of my iMac like e.g. absence of sound and need to reboot for it to reappear still linger - I thought they were related with my HDD approaching its end of life but obviously they weren't. The boot is much faster and some applications using frequent access to the disk run faster. If I was sure that the issue I encountered was due to this SDD, I would set my evaluation to less than maximum number of stars and discourage you from trying to create partitions but I presume it was my iMac issue as the MacBook Pro with the same OS X 10.7 behaved differently. So the only reproach then would be "why the Win7 PC could not retrieve the SSD" ?

This being my very first SSD purchase, I'm very happy with easy install, performance, and value.I selected this drive based on OEM testing and 5 year warranty. The other drive considered was Samsung 840 PRO for more money. And I know the X300s is coming out soon.Windows Experience Index for Primary hard disk was 5.9 after only Win7 Pro installed. WEI was improved to 7.8 (out of 7.9) after PC drivers and Windows updates. For now, PC is dual boot able to either SSD for day trading and video editing or to 500 gig HD for play. I may later format the HD for data storage only.

I had bad luck with this drive. It was purchased April 2014 and was working great until yesterday, when it became incredibly slow to the point that I could not shut down my computer. It stopped showing up in the BIOS at that point, and I can't even extract data from it. Good thing I didn't lose too much data, but losing half a day's work editing baby photos really sucks.

All all write working good

worked as described

Very reliable. Use to capture hi-res video & they have never failed me. Much sturdier than the spinning disk drives I used to use. Run cooler also.

Fast and stable, very good. I have used it as external hard disk with a Uasp usb3.0 enclosure. It is much better than Usb3 flash disk.

サブ PC 用ストレージとして2014年2月に購入。それから数か月使用したうえでのレビューです。サブ PC の基本仕様です。OS : Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1CPU : AMD A8-3820M/B : BIOSTAR TA75M (SATA 6Gb/s 接続)RAM : CFD W3U1600HQ-4G 8GBWindows 7 の winsat では以下のようになりました。Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 453.02 MB/s 7.9Disk Random 16.0 Read 118.08 MB/s 7.2Responsiveness: Average IO Rate 0.43 ms/IO 7.9Responsiveness: Grouped IOs 6.61 units 7.7Responsiveness: Long IOs 1.02 units 7.9Responsiveness: Overall 6.73 units 7.9Responsiveness: PenaltyFactor 0.0Disk Sequential 64.0 Write 323.89 MB/s 7.8Average Read Time with Sequential Writes 0.427 ms 7.9Latency: 95th Percentile 2.302 ms 7.5Latency: Maximum 8.235 ms 7.9Average Read Time with Random Writes 0.510 ms 7.9システム構成が異なるため、厳密な比較はできませんが、Intel SSD 330 120GB (SSDSC2CT120A3K5) は Average Read Time with Sequential Writes は 0.281 ms、Average Read Time with Random Writes は 0.218 ms で、平均読み取り時間がかかるようでした。しかし、これらは無視してもかまわないと思います。Disk Random 16.0 Read は、同上の Intel のと比べておよそ半分でした。ベンチマークとしては以上のようになりましたが、使用している時はベンチマーク値ほど差が出ているとは感じられません。今回は SDHC カードや USB フラッシュ ストレージを SanDisk で選んでいたため、 SSD も SanDisk ということで信頼性重視で選択しました。エンタープライズ向けということで、信頼性は高い物と思います。使用している PC は対応していませんが、SATA DevSleep (DEVSLP) に対応している製品です。使用時の消費電力も低めで良いです。低消費電力+性能良+高信頼性 な製品だと思います。

Nachdem ich über einen Monat auf die SSD gewartet hatte und vom Verkäufer keine Antwort auf zwei Mails gekriegt habe, habe ich sie storniert und eine andere bestellt. Ein paar Tage danach wurde die Ware trotzdem verschickt, obwohl ich sie storniert hatte. Jetzt habe ich zwei SSDs…Die Ware an sich scheint aber in Ordnung zu sein...

Nach bereits jahrelanger Erfahrung mit Intel-Platten (sehr positiv mit X25-M, positiv mit 320, durchwachsen mit 520 und "in Ordnung" mit DC S3500) habe ich nach langer Recherche die Sandisk X210 ausprobiert.Hervorragende Performance auf verschiedenen Controllern (von SATA 1,5Gbit/s bis SATA 6Gbit/s), bislang keine Schwächen.Sehr leicht (bei Einsatz im Notebook).Sandisk gibt 5 Jahre Garantie und verspricht 2 Mio. h MTBF - wenn das hinhaut, dann wäre das zukünftig die SSD meiner Wahl. Eine Server-Platte zu diesem GB-Preis ist top.

Als Ersatz für eine sich allmählich füllende 128GB System-SSD habe ich mich für die SanDisk X210 mit 256GB entschieden da diese SSD noch mit MLC-Speicher bestückt ist und dabei relativ preisgünstig erhältlich ist.Die X210 hat 7mm Bauhöhe und kommt in einem schmucklosen Pappschuber ohne jegliches Zubehör, nichtmal ein Faltblatt oder Garantiezertifikat liegen bei. Hier merkt man, daß diese Baureihe als "Unternehmensprodukt" plaziert ist. Die Inbetriebnahme und Systemklonung mit Acronis gestaltete sich völlig unproblematisch; die Performance der X210 erscheint mir einen Hauch besser als die der vorherigen Plextor M5Pro.Die X210 verhält sich so wie es der Hersteller verspricht und solange das auch so bleibt - 5 Sterne von mir

Works very well. You can tell difference to any SATA2 SSD disk (my previous one from another manufacturer): Sandisk's x210 mathematically is ~ 1,7 times faster and it feels that way. OS loads faster, web browser loads sites faster and etc. This product is good for boosting whole system.
