The software for transferring data from a hard drive was very intuitive and easy to use.
They need to make them with more capacity at a lower price. Once they achieve price per GB parity with a 500 GB hard drive, that when they will become the standard every where. But flash storage in general is still a good ways off from this goal, but it might happen within my lifetime. More storage and a lower price. Just more value. Perhaps greater read and write speeds would be beneficial, as I did not notice the much vaunted Solid State Drive boost when installing this apparatus, but it could just be that my installation was configured wrong.

I use it for music projects that take a huge amount of space.
256GB is way too small. The price for the 256GB device was in my price range and I still did not know how beneficial it was so I tried it. It was amazing, but I just didn't have enough space. You never understand how much space a project can take up until you have almost no space available. I had to basically use the SSD as a bridge whenever I filled its capacity. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the product from SanDisk, but the size is just too small and the prices are too high. I guess that's the price you have to pay for an amazing product. I have an external hard drive, but it is a hard disk drive. It's not bad at all but if there were an external solid state drive that would be amazing. The speed and portability of it would be incomparable. I would have the efficiency of a 2015 MacBook in the form of a portable drive. The only problem I might run into is the price of this external solid state drive. Replacement SSDs are priced at $90-$120 for a 256gb if it's external, it might be 30% more.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Flash drives have given us a huge advantage, and I see potential for flash drives to take over some of the functions of our video recording devices."
"With flash, we have multiple solid state drives, working at once is a dream come true."
"This solid state drive is the best; it was cheap, only around $70 when I purchased it, and is the most reliable piece of hardware out there."
"The most valuable features I've noticed is that my SSD boots very fast like in seconds instead of minutes like my hard drive did, and the speed of the SSD is a lot more instantaneous so transfer speeds are very fast and it helps with the amount of time it takes to transfer large video files and even pictures."
"The storage on the device saved our documentary footage and years of hard work."
 

Cons

"Perhaps greater read and write speeds would be beneficial, as I did not notice the much vaunted Solid State Drive boost when installing this apparatus, but it could just be that my installation was configured wrong."
"First of all, the hard plastic shell on the drive seems a little weak."
"SanDisk Flash needs more storage and more megabytes."
"I tried making the SSD a boot drive for a week straight and spent endless hours trying to install an OS on the SSD."
"Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the product from SanDisk, but the size is just too small and the prices are too high."
