Not aware of any reliability problems with the Sandisk, certainly not more than the Samsung had. It's a good choice.
As anyone familiar with SSDs knows, the real raw capacity of both drives is the same (8 * 32GB chips = 256GB) , but the Sandisk controller reserves more over-provisioning space for performance reasons.

Also as it sanforce would it be as fast as a Samsung if u move a lot of compressed data?

m4 has been as low as £130 and 830 is £145 almost all the time.
No, for already compressed data Samsung offers the best write performance. However if you're like me and have a smallish SSD for easily compressible OS/applications and a large regular HDD for compressed stuff like video, the Sandforce-based Sandisk is better.
Yes it should work in all laptops and desktops.
That's wrong. Only will work with laptops and computers that have a SATA interface and support SATA II onwards. Plenty of older computers use IDE interface (PATA) or have SATA I capability only.

if your laptop is more than five years old you may have a problem with compatibility. do you remember laptops from five years ago? they were awful compared to newer ones. very few people would still use one. i think the comment that is it compatible with all laptops is perfectly valid especially since if you are using a five year old laptop you probably wouldn't stretch to an SSD anyway.

I work repairing and refurbishing laptops every day of the working week, I certainly remember laptops from all periods of their existence.
Of course it's not valid. All means all, all doesn't mean laptops within a certain age range. Doesn't anyone understand simple English these days? You obviously don't, you can't change the definition of a word to suit your argument. The advice is wrong, it's not all laptops and that's all there is to it.
"Yes it should work in all laptops and desktops."
No it won't though, and if you have a computer that isn't compatible then it won't work. Don't say all if you don't mean all. It's not being pedantic it's being accurate. These things matter, it's not guesswork. The advice is useless as it's based on guesswork, if you don't know don't advise.
all/ôl/
Predeterminer:
Used to refer to the whole quantity or extent of a particular group or thing: "all the people I met"; "10% of all cars sold".
I try and help and be accurate and then I get some moron telling me what the word ALL means and they get it wrong.
I've voted this deal HOT and guess what it will work in some laptops and computers based on what I said earlier and won't work in others, if you still think that means in all laptops then go ahead and stick it in a laptop with an IDE interface and see how you get on. Please complain to Sandisk if you do so they can laugh at you.

Your right I forgot some people may still use IDE.

No prob, sorry I got over excited lol
I have a Samsung laptop with dual hdd bays, one being empty and one bein 1tb - the 1tb partitioned 700gb for data and 300gb for system n op etc..
So I could add this to the empty bay as the booy drive and then a wholling 1tb just for data which will last me years lol
but how to I transfer all the op n system files to this and for the software to still be recognised after a location changed etc
Maybe not the place to ask but a lot seem to have some experience it knowledge about ssds
Thanks

Presumably C: was system and D: data, so it's simple, use a partition cloning tool that is compatible with SSDs (sets the correct partition offset), and clone system proportionally to the SSD, then delete the system partition on the 1TB drive and repartition the drive so the data partition takes up the whole of the drive.

If i was you i'd do a fresh install. Transfer all your documents onto external drive. Download windows 7 here and put it on a DVD.

Then remove your 1tb from slot 1 and replace it with this ssd, then put your 1tb in slot 2. Boot your pc from your new disk you have created from the link above by pressing f2 or f8 when your laptop is at the boot screen. It will give you options where to install it and give you the opportunity to partition your new ssd. When it's complete you will need to add your serial number from your sticker underneath your laptop. Your documents will still be on your 1tb make sure you have got anything you want from it then format it. Message me if you need any more help with this.
Edit: the acer spec says it includes
Data storage
• One 40/60/80 GB ATA/100 hard disc drive
Is ATA an older version of SATA?
