SanDisk’s Extreme series represents the entry of a serious competitor into the already crowded high end SSD market. For the most part, SanDisk has successfully differentiated themselves from the competition by delivering an impressive drive using a pot...
Any performance limits we found while testing the SanDisk Extreme 480GB are nullified by one simple fact - $359. That price makes the SanDisk Extreme 480GB SSD one of the lowest priced, high capacity SSDs on the market, and it's not even a drive with ...
Everything we said about the SanDisk Extreme SSD 240GB in the past still rings true today. SanDisk has an advertisement on their site that pulls a quote from my last article, "" I feel that statement holds true today, five months after writing it for...
