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
