Been running the new extreme SSD in my work laptop. I was only going to “test” it in my work laptop because I purchased it personally…but it made everything run so much smoother…I don’t want to go back to the old drive. I put the old drive in my drawer at work…so if I ever quit/leave…I can just pop it back in and be on my way.
Here are the specs of my old work laptop:
Dell D630 (from everything I read it was only supposed to be sata1)
Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4ghz
4gb Ram
Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise SP1
Sandisk Extreme SSD WEI score: 7.8 (sata1 can score 7.8?? really? )
Been running in this Dell D630 for almost 2 weeks of constant use, and it really has brought this old laptop to life. I have put it to sleep, hibernation, and powered off with no issues several times. I just turn everything off everyday now since it boots so quick.
The reason I posted was to follow up on the differences. I suppose the new controller that the “Extreme” version uses is definitely superior to the “Ultra” models. As I have not had a problem with sleep, hibernate, or powering off and on.
