Thin, light, fast.

Thin, light, fast and moderately priced. Best Buy has been very competitive on their SSD pricing. The SSD Plus is not the fastest SSD from Sandish, but unless you have an ultra high performance computer, the extr 5% speed boost from more expensive drive will not even be available to your computer.

SSDs are great, this one included.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Any SSD is faster than any stock spinning hard drive. There are differences in claimed speeds between brands and models, but the best factors to consider are the manufacturer's warranty and reputation. PNY is a known player with a solid financial footing and the XLR8 line has a good warranty and excellent included software (Acronis).

I love my iPads. I have all 3 sizes and although I appreciate the 12.9" size for text size and legibility, the weight of the 9.7" is more manageable. The screen quality is wonderful and the performance boost is noticeable. If you are an artist and get the pencil, go for the larger size.

Desktop replacement but not too portable.

Nice touchscreen, good performance, well built, but ultimately not comfortable to carry around unless you absolutely need a big screen on the road. But value? Much more for your bucks than any other model out there.

Amazing technology.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The MacBook is a stunning display of technology. The Retina Display screen is unequalled in clarity and color. The keyboard requires almost no effort but has great tactile response and resistance to error. There has never been a bad trackpad, but the Apple Force touch trackpad sets new standards. Significantly thinner an lighter than an iPad with a keyboard case, it is awesomely transportable. The only limitation is the single USB C port. If you have a wireless printer and good wifi and a network backup drive (Time Capsule or NAS drive), the lack of USB ports won't be a big deal. The icing on the cake is Mac OS X, so much more pleasant and safe than Windows.

USB-C? Sort of...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I ordered this drive when I read it was a USB-C drive. I hoped it would be usable with standard USB-3 type A ports, which the description acknowledged. I was surprised when it arrived with no USB-C cable, only a USB-C to USB-A short cable. The port on the drive is USB-C.
But, it is 10 times faster than a big USB flash drive without being much bulkier.

I spend too much on Apple, but gladly.

I wanted a big screen tablet but wasted my money on a Samsung. Dumped it and was happy when the 12.9" iPad Pro came out.
I love it and use it every day, but wanted something lighter for traveling.
I got the 9.7" and I am very happy with the beautiful screen and light weight but if I am at home, I still use the big guy. If I only had one for everything, I would go with this 9.7" iPad Pro.

Any SSD that works is faster than a spinning hard drive, especially the 5400rpm standard drives. Way faster. Reliability and warranty are the keys. Sandisk is a known good manufacturer with a competitive price.

will this work (bluetooth) with my apple TV; my older MacAir would not, nor could it be connected via HDMI

I would also like to confirm that I could play my DVD's via the onboard burner? and then put them up on my big screen. Would that be hardwired HDMI or Bluetooth?
I also have an external DVD burner. Will these ports drive that? Again, I was told that even the new MacAir would not do that as they are not powered ports and most DVD's require that?
Absolutely. It has Bluetooth 4.0.
No need for an external DVD burner as it has one built in, but it does have 2 powered USB3 ports.
The Air supports the Apple USB SuperDrive and generic USB burners when it is plugged in to its charger.

With TurboWrite technology, this Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E500B 500GB internal SATA hard drive allows you to quickly update files. The 32-layer 3D VNAND flash memory ensures reliable performance, and AES 256-bit encryption keeps your data private.
 

How does installing an SSD affect you warrantly in a new computer? Does it void your warranty?

Varies by brand. If, to install it, you have to get to a screw under a "Warranty Void If..." label, you have your answer. I usually keep the original drive so as to be able to restore the computer to stock. That also allows me to have the ability to test to see if the problem requiring warranty service is drive or software related, or a real hardware problem elsewhere. Make sure to use the right tools when doing the swap or installation and refer to repair guides at iFixit.com or YouTube.
