Bottom Line
The SanDisk Extreme II internal solid-state drive is a great opening volley into the high-end consumer market. It offers enthusiast-level performance from a historically OEM-focused company
SSD 840 Pro is slightly speedier overall
And similarly priced
No bundled backup software or desktop adapter
Below average PCMark score
Middling IOPS at 32QD
Slight pricing adjustment makes SanDisk's highend drive very competitive
But not entirely differentiates it from tough rivals

SanDisk has made quite a nice improvement over the first generation of the Extreme series drives by leveraging the Marvell 88SS9187.controller and their own 19nm Toggle NAND. ...
The SanDisk Extreme II will of course be receiving an Editor’s choice award. Whenever a drive breaks lab records like the Extreme II did today it earns that award. The Extreme is packed full of new technology that elevates its performance into the same...
SanDisk may be onto something here. While their competitors have been hell-bent on pushing the boundaries regardless of end-user cost, the Extreme 2 240GB charts a slightly different path by utilizing advanced yet proven technology and pairing that up ...
In the beginning of this review, I have asserted in the elementary school world, if you want to establish credibility in what you are trying to make, you would add terms like 'super', 'ultra', 'epic', 'hyper', 'plus', and 'extreme' to its name. Now that I...
FAST!!!, High durability (80TBlifetime writes), Low power usage, Good price/capacity/performance, Thin profile great for ultraportables
Still expensive per GB compared to HDD, It's not free?
If you've read through the results pages you probably already know what I'm going to say here. At a very reasonable (in SSD terms) price of around 95 cents per GB, the Extreme II offers extreme value for the performance-minded enthusiast. In nearly every ...

Five year warranty, Good allround performance, Good price
Not fastest in any metrics
What sort of a fist has SanDisk made of the 9187 chipset in this latest Extreme II SSD, then? Pretty stellar, actually. Direct comparisons with the other Marvell 9187 drive in this test, the Crucial M500, are tricky due to the gap in capacity. The number...
Blistering Read / Write speeds especially on SATA 6Gb/s, Low power consumption, Reasonable price for its speed
Only 240gb compared to rival's 256Gb, when formatted in Windows, this is 223Gb, Write speeds on smaller files are not as quick, No AES or eDrive encryption, No cloning software included
If you're a performance user who's in the market to replace your existing HDD, or you want to upgrade your existing SSD, definitely consider the Sandisk Extreme II SSD.The write speeds alone make a difference to the previous generation of SSDs and if you'...
Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...
