Sandisk is making a clever move with this Ultra II TLC based SSD series. The trick is to bring the prices down in a very competitive market. The latest iterations from Micron and Samsung make this a hard to dominate domain.

SanDisk is a world leading producer in NAND flash and NAND flash products. From consumer SD cards and USB drives to OEM flash storage, SanDisk is everywhere in this market. Just a few months ago, they released their highest end, enthusiast class SSD, the Extreme Pro.

Two years ago Samsung dropped the bomb by releasing the first TLC NAND based SSD. I still vividly remember Anand's reaction when I told him about the SSD 840 . I was in Korea for the launch event and was sitting in a press room where Samsung held the announcement.

Today we test a new SSD which looks to offer a great balance of performance and value in our Sandisk Ultra 2 SSD Review.

Bought this to give my laptop some spring in its step, and its working out awesomely. I used to have to wait five to ten minutes after a complete shutdown for the old hybrid SSHD to get back up to speed, and now its popping on like smart phone.

Have 4 of these in different capacities, they work great. I use them with the Black magic recorder, and have 3 installed as SSD upgrades for iMacs and a Mac Pro

after a year of working with the San Disk Extreme 480 GB, it broke down and is inaccessible, not to recommend because of bad quality

Here we have our first our first product from SanDisk at pcGameware and it puts up a stirling performance all round, but how does it compare to our previously tested SSDs?

Brilliant drive, works flawlessly as my main drive. As fast as I need, buyers beware, SSDs should be not be kept filled beyond 75% capacity to optimise the endurance of the drive.
