I think that SanDisk SSD is a good product. It certainly has been reliable over the past 8+ years. I'm sure that these days, there are faster SSDs out there, but you need to confirm that you MBP model has the appropriate SATA speeds to interoperate. I googled a guide on how to replace disk drives and since it was a long time ago I can't remember the exact steps. But it was roughly as follows: Put SSD into a USB HD case. Clone internal disk onto new SSD, the tool allowed the use of larger drive. Again, can't remember the exact program. It was recommended by the guide I followed. Make a TimeMachine backup - you know, just in case something goes bad. Shut down MBP Remove screws on bottom Locate HD, remove, move some mounting hardware onto SSD (now out of USB case) Screw in SSD and connect cables - power and SATA. Put bottom back on, replacing screws. NB: some are longer than others so you need to keep track of which ones go where. Again the reference guide had good hints. Power up MBP, activate Trim program. Enjoy.

On the contrary, my Sandisk SSD I got around (roughly) 6 years ago is still happily working, despite being utilised for a lot of writing. It's gone through 3 house moves, and it's still going strong -- what a great purchase. My 2 Crucial MX500 SSDs have been pretty solid too; nothing bad to report on them. Re: your SSD, did you RMA it?

What's wrong with SanDisk? Out of the loop here -- I had a SanDisk SSD around 5 years ago and it was absolutely great; it's still going today (it's seen quite a bit of use, too.)

Yep, my SanDisk SSD died, was one that had the bad firmware but supposedly a fixed revision. They did RMA it but took about a month. Only using that now for Ventoy, can't really trust it for anything else. Also annoying is they wanted a serial number that they silk-screened on in tiny letters matte black on black. Quick edit: Wasn't a fake either, was bought direct.

I will never waste money on a Sandisk SSD again. My last one stopped working out of nowhere. Much happier with my Crucial X10.

I had a phantom issue of my PC not booting (black lit screen) unless cold for about 30 minutes that followed me across 2 different builds. I eventually figured out it was a bad SanDisk SSD that wasn't even a boot drive simply not responding to ATA commands and the MSI BIOS simply didn't have a timeout. I have not bought a WD or SanDisk drive since, I'm still very pissed that I spent days debugging this issue, decided I needed to scrap the entire machine and then still had the issue. Who thinks of a bad drive as a reason you can't even boot into BIOS?!
