The editors didn't like
Struggles some with large block random activity
Somewhat Pricier Than Some Competing Drives
Does not support hardware based encryption
Pricey
Useful only with heavier workloads
Not quite as fast overall as recent Samsung 850-Series SSDs
No sub-240GB capacity
The drive doesn't support self-encryption
Slower than the rival 960 Pro without caching involved
Slightly slower reading files than Samsung's T7
It's outdone by the performance of Samsung's 850 Pro and we would've liked to have seen hardware encryption included.

Incredibly consistent and fast speeds, nCache technology, 10year warranty!, 10year warranty! (Yes, it's that awesome), Priced lower than the competition
Slightly slower in synthetic tests, Slightly higher cost than "value" SSDs
So there you have it (assuming you read the review and didn't skip right here after reading the intro). SanDisk has managed to improve upon the already impressive Extreme II drive with this new iteration. While it did tend to sit near the middle of the pa...
