Kitguru says: One of the highest performance Solid State Drives that money can buy, backed up with a 10 year warranty.

10 year warranty; IOPS is strong; sequential performance; incompressible and compressible data

It isn't cheap by today's market pricing

What is the difference between those who have hope, and those who have no hope? The way I see it, those who have hope are people who have something to look forward to on some day, and that day will come, whenever it comes.

From full off,..... 8 second Boot time - What's NOT to like!

While Samsung's SSD 850 Pro turned in superb results when we reviewed it in late June, we couldn't quite crown it the performance king without having benched SanDisk's new flagship.

The Extreme Pro is among the fastest SATA SSDs you can buy today; it's reasonably priced and it ships with a 10-year warranty

It's outdone by the performance of Samsung's 850 Pro and we would've liked to have seen hardware encryption included

Sandisk is best known for its range of SD cards and USB flash drives, but the company also has a history of making solid-state drives (SSDs). However, the Sandisk Extreme Pro's specifications look very similar to its predecessor, the Extreme II .

Who doesn't want a fast SSD? I asked and answered this last time with the

Incredibly consistent and fast speeds; nCache technology; 10-year warranty; 10-year warranty!

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

The Sandisk range of SSDs were one of the first we reviewed that provided a big leap in the capacity/price sector that was holding SSDs back from becoming a part of everyone's rig.

The SanDisk Extereme PRO 480GB was a pleasure to have on the test bench, though not very exciting. But don't get me wrong, this wasn't because the drive didn't deliver, because it did. It wasn't exciting because I couldn't rattle this drive in any way.

Sustained performance and speeds over the entire spectrum; Longest available warranty in this market segment with 10 years; 9 mm adapter bracket for laptop users; Only 0.15 watt power consumption on this model; Optimal cooling provided to all internal components

No native encryption features

Fairly recently I had the opportunity to take a look at a SanDisk Ultra II 240GB SSD and it certainly didn't disappoint. This time we have an SSD from the fastest range SanDisk have to offer, the SanDisk Extreme PRO 480GB, but is it as Extreme as its namesake?
