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.

Fast read/write speeds, 10 year warranty, 7mm Height, nCache
IOPs performance lower than expected
The SanDisk screams 'premium performance product' from the outset and we wouldn't argue with that claim. SanDisk claim read speeds up to 550MB/s and writes up to 515 MB/s and for the most part this was found to be true in our own benchmarks. Having read a...
Linux and AIX Bare-Metal Recovery Webinar Review Typical. Just when we've gotten over the shock of a SSD drive being offered with a 10-year warranty, namely Samsung's SSD850 PRO (reviewed recently) , when another appears on the block, this time from Sa...
10 year warranty, IOPS is strong, sequential performance, incompressible and compressible data
It isn't cheap by today's market pricing.
The Sandisk Extreme Pro 480GB has certainly not disappointed. Sequential performance is excellent and, like many of the latest drives is pushing the SATA 3 interface to the absolute limit.Sandisk are not primarily focusing on just sequential performance h...
Great performance in a used state, Very consistent numbers, 10year warranty
Price could be an issue
Not all solid-state drives are created equal. SSDs using cheaper NAND memory and controllers - value drives - focus on sequential speed as the headline-grabbing figures. Premium consumer drives exhibit similar out-of-the-box figures but, crucially, offer...
Starting with the build quality of the Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD we have a product which uses quality components throughout. The Marvell controller is a proven in SSDs, Micron cache is also a commonly used part and then we have the latest SanDisk NAND. If t...
While our Iometer tests indicate that performance consistency has indeed been improved for the Extreme PRO, in every other area it's business as usual, and the drive is much the same as the Extreme II. That's hardly a bad thing, as the Extreme II isn't a...
Fast USB 3.1 (Gen2) connectivity, IP55 dust and water resistant, Light and easy to carry
Very expensive, Dust and dirt stick to the outside,
The SanDisk Extreme Pro portable SSD stands out in the market thanks to its high performance, which sets the standard for a new class of devices. The IP55-rated body and generous warranty period are also bound to appeal to buyers. However, this model has...
