SanDisk Extreme solid-state drive (240GB - SATA-600)

There isn't anything extreme about the SanDisk Extreme SSD. It is, rather, a standard 2.5-inch, 9.5mm-thick solid-state drive that supports SATA 3 (6Gbps). And this is a good thing since the drive can be used in any computer that currently uses a SATA...

The 2.5-inch SATA 3-based SanDisk Extreme solid-state drive offers great performance and is affordable.

The SanDisk Extreme SSD doesn't come with accessories to help it fit in a desktop computer's 3.5-inch hard-drive bay, though it can be used in one.

With very good performance and even better pricing, the SanDisk Extreme makes a great replacement drive for a standard laptop or desktop computer.

SanDisk Extreme Solid State Drive (240GB)

If you're in the market for a solid-state drive (SSD), whether it's your first switch from a traditional hard drive or you're stepping up from an SSD that's starting to show its age, deciding on the right drive can be overwhelming. Here in late 2012,...

Very fast sequential read speeds ; Reasonably speedy at reading and writing small files ; Decent cost per gigabyte, especially considering performance

Sequential write speeds aren’t the best ; 9mm thickness limits use in laptops ; No 3.5-inch adapter or other accessories in box

SanDisk’s Extreme is an excellent high-end solid-state drive for content creators, gamers, or those who just want a fast drive at a reasonable price. It isn’t the fastest on every test, but it offers fast overall performance from a company with loads...

Great until it died

The part of the drive running Linux is still functional, but I can't expand that section since I can't use a partition editor of any kind.

Made my laptop performed much better--boot time was very impressive; Linux boots virtually instantly and Windows very fast

Part of it went bad after 8 months of use. Every time I try to access part of the drive in my Windows partition, my laptop fails. I cannot even open a partition editor without triggering a freeze. Scans on the SSD do the same - HDD Regenerator freezes...

UPDATE REVIEW FROM 7/26/12

Please make sure to monitor Newegg's Promotional deals for maximum savings.

Excellent speed when paired with the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH motherboard. Never had a problem after the latest firmware update. So fast that I bought another one today for $159.00 with the daily Supersonic Supers Saver deals

Last 1 egg review was before the crucial firmware update which has solved all speed negotiated problems when paired with a mid 2010 MacBook Pro

Fast, typical SSD for the price

This is a very good SSD for the price. I was able to pick it up on sale on Cyber Monday for an excellent price. The SSD uses Toggle NAND flash memory, which is actually less durable than MLC flash used in other SSDs. This is not really a problem if you...

Cheap ; Sandisk flash memory ; Fast

Toggle NAND flash memory
