Make sure you back up everything. Even these solid state drives are not to be trusted to last much longer than a normal hard drive.

Was fast when it was working; Easily loaded Windows 7; Worked great until its sudden demise

Just suddenly dies right after the three year limited warranty expired; Bought in October of 2011, dies in April 2015...about 3.5 years; I have 20gb hard drives that are 10+ years old that still work; Does not build my confidence in these new fangled things...

I recently upgraded the boot drives of two home PCs from conventional HDs to SSDs. After reading reviews, I chose the SanDisk Extreme Pro for a workhorse machine in large part because of its 10-year warranty. I chose a Samsung 850 EVO for a lighter-use computer.

I bought this in 2013. I figure the ssd, with no moving parts, will last longer. I've used it less than a dozen times and stored this ssd, in an external case, for safe keeping. Today, I need to access the back up data stored on it and it doesn't work. How can an ssd sitting in a desk drawer go bad

We've seen solid state drives become very popular over the last couple of years, as prices have continued to drop and consumers are taking notice of the impressive overall system boost that SSDs can offer.

If you have never heard of SanDisk you must have been living under a rock for the past 25 years because they are one of the world's biggest providers of PC and mobile storage solutions be it a USB drive, micro flash or like our topic for today, high performance SSDs.

+ Fast read/write speeds; + 10 year warranty; + 7mm Height; + nCache

SanDisk are one of the more famous memory guys on the planet. Even if you had absolutely no interest in computers you'll be aware of their SD cards which are so ubiquitous it's not stretching it to think that probably everyone reading this has got at least one of their products in a camera or phone...

Sandisk is a big name in flash memory, but this is the first of the company's SSDs we've seen. Capacities are currently limited to 120GB and 240GB, with a 480GB version arriving later in the year.

SanDisk Extreme 240 GB is one of the (for now) high capacity SSDs that you can buy. If the term SSD is unfamiliar, this stands for Solid State Disk, as opposed to the traditional hard disk drives (HDD) which have moving parts.

SanDisk may not be a household name within the SSD market but as one of the primary flash memory suppliers, their products have been used in countless storage products throughout the years.

; - Amazing Price to Performance Ratio; - Excellent Performance; - Low power requirements

; - Half the NAND ICs does seem to limit performance in some scenarios; - Left us craving even more; - No 2.5" to 3.5" adapter bracket included; - So cheap that there is zero reasons to not buy another SSD; even if you don't need one
